EVIDENCE THAT CANNOT BEDENIED

ANOTHER CROP OF WELLS ALMOST DUE

| h
east of Oakdale to Coraopolis. 1t is
already building a refinery and iron
tanks at the latter place. notwith-
standing the statement to the con-
trarv published in cotemporary.
If the writer of the denial, who has evil
IDENTIFY been duped bv interested parties,
will leave Fourth avenue long enough to
visit Coraopolis or Oakdale he will soon
find that he has been entirely misinformed
in relation to the work now being done by
the Producers Oil Company. 1t is no secret
with the farmers through whose lands
or with the workmen, that the Pro-
ducers' Company is back of the work
now being carried on, even though
an attempt may be made to keep the facts
from scouts" who never see field except
on an office map. Nearly all of the capital
stock of the Producers Oil Company has
been paid into its treasury, and its officers
are not the kind of men to allow al
most 100000 to lie idle when
the money was subscribed for the
purpose of building refneries and
constructing pipe lines. They realize that
the sooner they have the works completed
and commence operations, just so much
quicker will they realize on their invest
ment. They are consequently, pushing the
work as fast as possible, and before the end
| of the present year they will probably be
able to offer their product to the public.
! The woods are full of such "wormy
chestnuts'' if the cotemporary's scout Will
go out and gather them in.
An Increase All Around.
There was a general increase in the Nc
| Donald -McCurdy field yesterday. Owing
| to the agitation of number of wells, and
their increase inproduction, the estimated
production of the field went from SO, 600 to

of 1868 barrels in the runs and an increase
of 2, 900 barrels in the stocks in the field.
The biggest increase in any one we'll
was at the Forest Oil Company's No. on
| the Heron farm back to Noblestown. 1t
was drilled few minutes late Thursday
evening, and the first hour thereafter it
made $50 barrels, Jump of 115 barrels an
hour. Yesterday morning it was doing 200
barrels an hour. The Oakdale Oil Com
pany's No. 4, on the Wallace farm, was on
top of the fifth sand last evening, and will
be drilled in to-day. Tie same company has
