tho same month In 1888. Under tho shutin agree
ment, tho activity OF the drill shrank TO Insignificant
proportions and az the end OF the first month Of 1888
tho number Of wells drilling and Of rigs up and build
ing was only ninety three, against six times that
amount at the close Of last month. Tho new prOduc-
ton was thrilling In January year ago, but II came
from paltfy number OF wells, so that tho average
yield per well too $40 barrcsl sixty per cent in
excess Of the average reported last month. fairor
comparison of field activity is reached when go
back to January, 1887, whom restriction was upon
the drill There were $50 wells completed In Janu-
airy, 1850, against l5I two years ago, but tho new
yield only $500 barrels against 1888 barrels in
January, 1857, that the average Is down to 10 10
barrels per WELL compared with % IL barrels two
years ago. The dry holes struck In January, 1887,
wore 81 SO per cent OF all the wells drilled last month
tho percentage OF dry holes sos per cent, These
latter figures larger than the percentage Of
dry holes to the wells completed for the entire year
Of 1885, which was 24.7 pr cent. But a comparison
shows that the development work In progress at the
end OF last month, moro than double that at tho
end OF January, 1887. II Is even 30 in excess of
tho heavy work the end of last December, although
IN all other respects the comparison Of the last two
months IS bulshly favorable TO January. The activity
shown in the petroleum country is remarkable but It
"a partly the result of tho opcnness OF the winter and
the high premium paid on white-sand oil-25 cents
above the certificate valuo. II certainly ought to
message an enormous amount OF new work In the
rncr months unless the continued disappolGlmens met
for months past should warn tho producers to move
moro conservatiyey. Appended are tho January
Geld reports for three years. and also the figures Of
December, 1893:
