the sand, found oil. 1t made several small
building of tankage, which will be this
evening, and they expect to drill the we'll in
to- morrow. when her capacity as a prod ducer
will be known, although from the apparent
absence of gas the we'll may have to be
tubed to ascertain what it will actually do.

her in her present status among the small
producers, although deeper drilling may in
crease her materially.

the same rock position, and located upon an
''anticlinal" with gas we'll in close prox-
Unity on the west and the Royal Company's

News From Taylorstown.
Uncle Isaac Reinemsn, high cqekalorum
of the Washington Oil Company came into
the city to-day from suburban Washington,
and in response to ginterrogatigus from The
DISPATCH scout, said thaT operations in
the Washington andj Taylorstown
field were very limiteH. Mr.. Refine
man, who is authority on oil mat
ters, was of the opinion that there
would be very little drilling done in these
fields The coming seaso6. The Washington
Oil Company have reeently finished up two
wells, one oftheni ON the Samuel Carson
farm, which is good for 40 barrels, and the
other on the John Brown Lee, which is
making 90 or go BARRELS a day. This COM
pany have one we'll drilling on the Sam
Carson. farm, which is now in the "Big
InjuSs"r There is Nut little prospect of
revfvsi of old times in this field, unless the
gas wells now dF1lling should hit something
rich. II. MCC,
