located $50 feet northwest from the Gov
ernor Pattison WELL The we'll is just on top
the first pay, and is flowing 20 barrels an
hour. Drilling has been suspended until to-
morrow, when the new venture will be
drilled in and its caliber more fully de-
termined. The Zigenhein, owned by Barns
dali & Co., is producing 800 barrels day,
while the Governor Pattison, which had
fallen off yesterday, was agitated this after
noon and responded to the tune of 100 barrels
an hour. which 1t was still doing this evening
when the reporter left the well. Byrns
& Co.'S No. Simpson has declined to
40 barrels a day, but the owners are
confident that with deeper drilling its produc-
tion will materially increase Greenlee d Forsts S
Ice Pond well No. 9 is As feet in the sand and no
Improvement. The present status of the well
indicates 25-barrel producer. The same COM
pany tapped the sand this morning in their
Blde Keeper well, located 500 feet northeast
from their Ice Pond No. and about midway
between the old Young and the Menke well
This venture is regarded as important and by
Saturday its history will have been told. The
Smith Farm Oil Company got started to drill
this afternoon in their No. Smith and by to-
morrow or the next day they will be deep
enough to find the pay streak. The gas in this
well is not as strong as yesterday.
The Roth Oil Company also struck the sand
TO-DAY in their Krerzer, but are not in far
enough for the pay. Their No. Harbush is
through the bowlder, and. with no mishap, will
o a
production in the Wildwood field of $500 bar
rels day. The FOgle well made another
flow yesterday, and by Tomorrow they will
finish drilling the sand. The Finegan Down.
ing well on the Wallace farm is drilling at l. $50
feet. This is an important well. The Forest Oil
Company are nearing the sand in Young No. 2
MANsFIELD-The boiler was moved out at
the Scott well this afternoon. and at 2:l5
o'clock the drill was again started, and at
O'Clock the well made 615-inch flow in a $50
tank, or about IL or Is barrels. They are still
drilling in good sand, but up till 4:30 o'clock
the well had not made another flow. Just
what the caliber of the venture Will be can
only be determined by deeper drilling. The
McCurdy well is holding up at 20 barrels an
hour.
HULToS-It is reported to night that a gas
well was struck yesterday mile north of HUI
ton station, Allegheny Valley Railroad, on the
Lee estate. The reporter was unable to ascer-
tain Just what pressure the well has, but was
informed it was 2S00 feet deep. and by practical
operators it is thought that the calOric fluid
comes from the Specify sand.
Approximately, the daily production of petro-
leum outside of the Ohio field was, in August,
So 40 barrels; in September, 81, Isl barrels, and
in October. 80 $50 barrels, which is a daily in
crease from August to October of s, 440 barrels.
According to the Standards last monthly re-
port of deld operations they, together with
their allied forces. completed so wells. A
conservative estimate puts the production of
these wells at 800 barrels day. The report
also shows they have 100 rigs up and wells drill
Ing, which is about one-tenth of the enJlre
operations. 1t is estimated that the Standard
have expended about So, 600 600 in the purchase
of producing property, in which is embraced
the Union Oil Company the Forest Oil Com
pany, the North and South Penn Oil Companies,
the Associated Producers, T. w. Phillips and
other Individuals and firms A conservative
estimate of the aggregate daily production of
the Standard is about Il, 600 barrels. or little
less than one-eighth of the entire production.
