Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-10-15

through Oakdale. A dry hole was completed
yesterday which created some comment.
1t belongs to Guffey, Murphy & Co., and
is on the William Clark farm. 1t is located
just about half a mile northwest of the
Woodland Oil Company's well on the GAM
BILE farm, and $50 rods north of the small
wells on the John Ewing farm. The Ewing
farm is between the Clark and the Gamble
wells. 1t was reported to be almost through
the fifth sand with scarcely a showing
of oil. On 45o line the
the good wells, and consequently, is
placed in the category of wells outside the
belt. There were many, however, who be-
lieved that it would show up for at least a
paying well. The Forest Oil Company's
No. l, on the J. n. Neeley, was in the Cor
don sand last night Their No. l, on the
Walker farm, is also in the Cor
don sand. The Neeley well is 200
feet south of Gordnier q Co. 8
No. on the Mertz farm. This latter well
is 40 days old and is still producing $40 bar
rels day. Altogether it has produced over
30, 900 barrels of OIL Gordnier & Co s No.
2, on the Mertz farm, is due to get the fifth
sand the last of next week, and they have
two other wells drilling on the same farm.
W. P. Blacks well, on the Phillips prop
erty in northeast McCurdy, will get the last
sand tomorrow
Dry Beyond a Doubt
NoBLESTowN.-Iti is now pretty safe to
say that the Forest Oil Company's No. 2 on
the Heron farm will be small. 1t was "a
feet in the fifth sand last night. 1t only
flows every three or four hours and then
does not make over four or five barrels. As
it now stands it will not be over a 50-barrel
pumper. The sand as they go deeper is
hard and fine. 1t is located only
400 feet east of the Baldwin well which
makes it so much more mysterious. There
are not enough wells yet drilled in the
locality to determine whether it is hard
spot IN the sand, whether the Baldwin well
is on the eastern edge of the pool, or
whether narrow streak goes through this
region. If it does not improve it will be
drilled to the Hickory gas sand. This
lies 80 feet below the bottom of the fifth
sand. Not half mile northeast of this
well is the big Mathews gusher of Guffey,
Murphy, Jennings & Co. 1t was struck on
July 16, and since that time has produced |
300, 900 barrels of oil. For several weeks it |
did only 40 barrels an hour. 1t was then |
drilled little and went up to 300 barrels |
an hour, from which point it settled down !
gradually to 210 barrelsan hour, which twas |
doing yesterday. This firm has four wells |
within radius of !, 1000 feet which produced |
19, 200 barrels of oil yesterday. They are |
the Mathews No. 1, Bell Nos. and 2, and
Heron No 1. Their Heron No. will be
in the fifth sand tomorrow or Saturday. 1t
is only $50 feet southwest of the Mathews
and has been drilling very slowly on account
of the hole being full of Gordon sand oil
Their No. on the Heron farm, which is
Company's Heron No. 2, will be due in
10 or II days. They are still fishing in
Heron No. at 1, ,4SO feet. Mathews No. 2
will be spudding tomorrow. A rig is be-
ing built for Heron No. 8; also, for
No. 8. No. Heron is located
1 900 feet south of Bell No. l. They
are building a rig for Bell No. 4,
which is north of No. 2 1000 feet
and they have made location for Bell No.
5, one mile north of the Mathews No. 1.
& Co. are drilling on the Peter
feet northwest of Noblestown and three
quarters of mile southwest from the
Mathews wells. Emery & Co. are rigging
up on the school house lot, 300 feet south
East from the McNall well.

Sale Of Oil Lando.
The Andrews Oil Company's producing
and interests in and about Mt.
Tewett, Mexican county, have been sold
The purchasers were T. D. Wood and L.
". Young, of Bradford. The property is
ocated on five warrants, includes the vii
age site of Mt. Jewett, and extends on
,elt line four miles to the southwest of that
,lace There are, in round numbers, $500
cres, subject to one-eighth royalty included
n the transfer, and on this there are 80
Eells fully equipped, with a production of
100 barrels day.
The consideration is not made public, but
10 doubt the owners realized handsome
gure, from the fact that this is one of the
nest properties in the northern oil field,
nd there is large proportion of the tract
that is undoubtedly good pro-
ucing property. The Andrews Oil Com
any was organized by the late Frank w.
andrews, brother of Cyrus Andrews, of
'ittsburg.
