Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-12-12

MCDONALD STATIoN-There has been
considerable mystifying the wells at Nc
Donald Station, and the impression has
gone out that there is not only large scope
of fifth sand territory in this section, but
that these wells conelusively show con-
nectIon with the Mansfield fifth and devel-
opments. From an old reliable scout who
has kept close tab on the wells at Nc
Donald The DISPATCH scout was
informed there were no facts from which
to draw the above conclusion. The
Mcdonald No. 3, which recently came
in very small producer, our informant
says, is Gordon sand oil which is thrown out oy
fifth sand gas and that in reality there IS no
fifth sand oil here. When this well was COM
pleted the tools were taken down and moved to
No. l on another Mcdonald farm at Primrose
station, about one mile TO the west from NO. 5.
The well was drilled down to the NTH SAND,
where thev found flow of gas sufhclent 10
run Is or 20 boilers. but no oil. Ihese wells,
being one mile apart on the east and west line,
it rather gives the fiftn-Sand connection theory
between the McCurdy and Mcdonald bad ap-
pearance.
Four Producing Wells.
BRIDGEyILLE-There are four producing
wells in the Bridgeville pool. Graham d Co.'S
No. / Alexander is doing lS barrels day.
Their No. Donaldson is good for 40 barrels
day, while No. : same farm, is light pumper.
The Forest Oil Company's No. Hickman is the
best of the lot and is passing out 40 barrels
dav The same company are building rig on
the Harreot farm, and Graham Co. are drill
ing at l. 200 feet in No. . Alexander and have
No. 8 rig completed; this embraces operation
here.
The Indications Not Bright.
WrpwooD-Miller & Co.'s No. 2 Meenk
farm well is reported far enough in the sand
tonight to indicate that the well is not much
account. Still there is living chance that
deeper drilling may make some Improvement.
GreenIee & Forst No. Biddykeeper, which
was shot yesterday, is practically no good.
Guffy & Queene and the Forest OIL Company S
No. Flicker, on the Rolsehouse, which came
in yesterday. is producing A inches an hour.
Governor Pattison 175z inches an hour and No.
/ Rolsehouse Ga inches an hour.
BarnsdaIl & Co No. 5 is making barrels an
hour and their big kress well is holding %
barrels an hour.
The Cordage Manufacturers Meet.
meeting of the oil well cordage manufac-
turers and local dealers was held at the office
of the Oil Well Supply in this city. There
seemed to be an air of secrecy about their de-
liberations, and but little information could be
gained. 1t was learned, however, that the OBJ
iect of the meeting was to cultivate closer
relationship between the manufactures and
dealers. The local dealers banqueted their
visiting friends in royal style last night at the
Pittsburg Club. The cordage establishments,
Edward H. Filter & Co., Philadelphia; William
Wall & Sons New York; New Bedford Cordage
Co., the National Cordage Co.. New York, were
represented, whilethe local dealers present. were:

Bradford; Colonel Kay, Kay Bros, PIttsburg;
John Eaton and K. Chiekering, OIL Well Sup
Jarecki Manufacturing Co., Erie, and j. b.
McElwain, Bradford.
e. M. Hukilps Big Interests.
1t has been reported for some time that nego-
tiations have been pending between E. NJ.
Hukill and the Standard Oil Company, or d. P
Reighard for the formers immense possessions
in West Virginia, consisting of 5000 or 10000
acres of territory and about 100 producing wells
A rumor gained circulation yesterday that
the deal had been closed. Last night THE DIS
PATCH called Mr.. Hukil up by telephone, and
when asked regarding his sale, said that
THE DISPATCH could state positively that he
had not sold to the Standard, and referred the
reporter to Mr. Reighard for further inform y
tion on the matter, who. upon being communi-
Gated with, said the deal had not been closed,
but admitted negotiations were in progress.
A Difficult Fishing Job.
WooDvILLE-The well being drilled by
company of Southside-s on the Nelson Lea
farm. close to the station at this place, is down
| over 900 feet, but on account of fishing job
| no drilling has been done for ten days. A good
! flow of gas was struck in the stray and a show
of oil. This we'll ought to reach the Gordon
sand soon after drilling is resumed.
The well drilling on the Poor Farm, owned
by Vandergrift & Co., about a quarter mile
west and north of the Lea farm well, is down
about 100 feet The drillers have had
