THE BALDWIN IS BIG.
1t Reached a Rich Pay in the Fifth
Sand Yesterday Afternoon.
THE NEW WORK AROUND M'DONALD
Some Wells Which Should Get the Lower
Sand Before Very Long.
WORK IN BUTLER AND OTHER PLACES

Fisher Oil Company on the Baldwin farm
| west of Noblestown is big one. Monday
| afternoon the bit reached the fifth sand, but
the oil failed to squirt as in most good fifth
| sand wells when the shell is broken.
This gave rise to the report that
the oil well was no good. The drillers,
however, kept pounding away, and yester-
day afternoon, when seven feet in the sand,
the nav was reached. 1t Immediately
began to throw out oil at bonanza rate, but
owing to the shortage of tankage it was shut
in. One of the owners said last night that
he thought it would be fully as big as the
Matthews farm well of Guffey, Jennings,
Murphy & Co.
Where 1t Is Located.
The Baldwin we'll is located about half a
mile southwest from the Matthews well and
almost on direct line with the Royal Gas
Company's 30-barrel an hour well on the
Mary Robb farm at Mcdonald. It is about
]. 800 feet west of AGO line through the
Matthews, and if it connects with the latter,
will open up an extensive field In that To-
cality. There seems to be little doubt but
that the Mcdonald field proper and the
Matthews and Baldwin wells back of n obles-
town and nearly two miles to the northeast,
will be connected.

BUrLER-There is very little change in the
Lentz & Schlegel well on the Garvin farm.
A 2+hour gauge shows the well making very
close to 500 barrels per day. The same firms

Donald is a damper on the producers In this
field and there is a growing disposition to
let the drill rest except where compelled to
drill.
