of town. The South Penn's No. /, Jake
Gelbauch, is spudded in. On the Bay farm
Slator & Co. are building a rig. Stewart
Bros. have q rig up on the Menkle. On the
Jacob Spithuler, Ketterer & Co. have a rig
completed and ready to drill. Hovis g.
Redd, on the Blenklev, are cased and push
ing the ponderous drill for all they are
worth. Johnston & Co. S No. 1 Blenkley,
recently completed, is rated as so or 60
barrel we'll. The well drilling in advance as
a venture on the Thorn farm is completed
and dry, having found no outlet in this d.
rection.
All is Quiet at Glade Run.
GLADE RUN-This field presents nothing
of interest in the way OF new production.
The Forest Oil Company nave only about
two wells drilling at the present time, and
their contractors, Mays & Davis, have been
taking their tools down and piling them up
until, out of eight or ten strings, they are
only working about two strings.at present.
Superintendent Phipps, in an interview,
says the company will not do any new work
unless forced to drill to protect their lines.
Their No. 4, w. H. May, which has the ap-
pearance OF being a good we'll when COM
pleted, would have been shot on Saturday,
but, unluckily, they stuck the bailer and
are fishing for it. The same company's No.
2, Williams, is down between 800 and 900
feet. Jack White & Co.'S No. 2, Martin
Behm, is due to reach the proper spot toward
the latter part of this week.
Progress of the Gallery Wells.
CALLERY-The Pittsburg Syndicate's
No. L, Christy farm, is in the gas sand and
shut down for casing. MeKees No. 8.
Joseph Cashdollar, is in the sand. No.
has just started the drill, and on the w. S.
Cashdollar No. is just started, while No.
is near 1000 feet deep.
A Heavy Pressure at Reibold's.
REIBoLD's-Whent the tools were started
down in the old Phillips No. Hartman
yesterday, preparatory to shooting, it was
found they would only go down about TO
feet, the casing being plugged at this depth
with old belt and other junk. The casing
was then pulled, and when the plugged
joints were taken off the we'll started in and
flowed with great pressure for fully half an
hour, throwing sand and stones In all
directions. The gas pressure was SO strong
as to force the entire string of casing up be-
fore relieved. This we'll will be tested,
as they are now ready to shoot.
Important Sale of Oil Property.
AMBERsoN-Another important sale of
oil property has just been made, the Forest
Oil Company having purchased the entire
interest of the Hundred-Foot Oil Company.
the property consisting OF Is producing walls
located on the Humphrey and adjoining
farms. The sale is reported as cash trans
action, but the actual figures are hard to get
at. Farquer & Co. 5 No. 1, Mcdonald, is
rather small well, probably good for Is
barrels, and don't augur we'll on the con-
nection theory. Between the Anderson and
Harmony and Zelienople fields this end of
the One Hundred Foot ield-to use mild
figure of speech-has about fired its wad.
True, there will still be some wells procured.
but there is not the rush Tor leases or the
activity that is displayed in other portions
of the One Hundred Foot field. II. Nc.
