HPECIL TKLKGRAM TO THE DIsPATCHI
CHARTERS, August 5.-There is no par
ticular change in the wells at CHARTERS.
The daily production of the field has dropped
to about 8, 900 barrels The Beck Oil Com
pany's No. 2, on the Beck farm, coming in
light was great surprise, which again
verifes the old adage, "All that glitters is
not gold" This well is located near Heiser
No. 1 and the Beck gusher, and in the
natural course of things should have been
good well. They have drilled through the
sand and will shoot the well in day or so,
and it will probably make so barrels a day.
Their No. 5 is drilling on top the 100-foot
and No. is down /, 400 feet.
Graham & Mellon, on the Cleaver farm,
have reached the bottom of the centennial
rock, and will most likely finish Thursday.
The same parties on the same farm got the
sand last night in No. 1, but at this writing
are not deep enough to enable one to form
any conclusions as to what the well will be
good for. On the Mcfarland farm the
Fisher Oil Company's No. Ais down 400 feer,
No. 2 200 feet. No. rigging up and No. 5
has rig building.
AN IMPORTANT VENTURE.
The Echo Oil Company's No. 1, on the
johnson, has reached depth of /, 400 feet.
This venture is regarded as important, and
when completed will indicate whether the
Charters pool extends toward the old
Grafton field.
The Patterson & Co. we'll on the Joe May
farm is considered another important we'll.
1t is located west of developments on the
Heiser farm, and should it prove a paying
investment it is thought the belt will run
toward the old Wittengil developments, a
mile and quarter to the southwest. The
Forest Oil Company's No. 4. Duff farm,
got the sand yesterday and filed up ], 200
feet with oil from the first pay. There is
not gas enough to make the we'll flow, but
when the second pay is tapped it is expected
she viii iollow in the wake of her predeces-
sors. O'Brien Nos. 3 and 4, O'Brien farm,
are both through the second pay. No.
made one 12-barrel flow and judging from
other Charters wells of the same showing
it will make, when shot, so or 60 barrel
well.
SEEKING THE PAY STREAK.
No. 3. located 400 feet due west from No.
4, looks like better well and may make IS |
barrels a day. On the Yeuber Iarm, HUFF |
nagle & Co. are on top the 100-foot and will |
find the sand by Thursday or Friday, and |
the MeKee's Rocks Oil Company, on the |
same farm, are down about the same depth. |
Feely & Garland No. ., Heiser, are |
still drilling in the sand. The hole is full |
of oil, and from its location should be a big
well when the second pay is penetrated. The
Mchee's Rocks Oil Company's well, located
on the McGunnegle farm, half mile north
west from developments, is looked upon as
important, and the result will be watched
with interest. To-day's gauge shows Beck
No. 8 is making 55 barrels per hour; Heiser
No. 3, 80 barrels per hour, and Heiser No.
4, 10 barrels an hour.
The Bridgewater Gas Company got the
first pay streak to-day in their well on the |
rsilroad lot, and tonight the well is making |
Is barrels an hour.
