WELLS SHOWING UP.
THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
MDONALD FIELD YESTERDAY.

Sam Sturgeon No. Agitated-Slight De-
crease in the General Production of
the Territory-Good Gordon Sanders
Coming In.
The greatest feature reported from the
Mcdonald oil field yesterday was the No. 2
Sam Sturgeon, of Guffey, Murphy & Galley.
1t is located to the west of their Nos
and 3 on the same property.
The reports from it last night were
to the effect that it was making from
go to 800 barrels an hour. 1t had been
drilled deeper during the afternoon. If
the well should be as good as the statement
made in relation to it the fifth sand belt at
this point will show a width of nearly
three-auarters of a mile. The No. Sam
Sturgeon is about the farthest to the east.
The farthest well to the west on this line is
the No. / Mary Robb, of the Royal Gas Com
pany, but between it and the Sam Sturgeon
are the Devonian Oil Company's No. l El-
lott, Hays 4 Gertlands Miller farm wells;
the wells. on the Sturgeon heirs property;
Forst & Greenlee's Mevey wells; Guckert
& Steers well on the Mevey, and Guffey,
Murphy & Galey's Elliott farm wells. Out
side of this well there was little change in
the fields. No new wells were reported as
completed. There are a number of them on
top of the fifth sand, but so far they have
not been drilled in.
TheQakdaIe Well Dry.
The Slaughter house well at Oakdale is
about through the fifth sand and dry. 1t will
however, make a fair producer from the
Gordon sand. Greenlee & Forst's No. g. on
the Mevey farm, is encouraging for the opera
tors who have put in their cash around the
Rend well. 1t is showing for good Gordon
sander and even though it is dry in the fifth it
will pay out in the third. Back of Oakdale
Pat Gallaghan's well, ON his own property,
has been drilled through the fifth. In the
latter formation he found a strong vein of
gas, which killed the oil from the Cor
don sand. Gardiner, Kennedy & Co.'S
No. Moore, which was finished up
yesterday is showing about 30 barrels an
hour. Guffey & Queen did not agitate their
No. on the H. II. Wetmore farm yesterday
as they intended, owing to a lack of suffi.
cient tankage. 1t is making about 80 barrels
an hour The Peoples Gas Company's well,
of the Conklin & Fertig well, is light in the
fifth sand.

the Eta eileen little deeper into the sand
yesterday and last evening it was reported
to be doing nearly 200 barrels an hour They
