NO WELLS COMPLETED.
TWO WHICH SHOULD BE IN THE FIFTH
SAND THIS MORNING.

tervil,e.
There were no really interesting devel-
! opments in the Mcdonald field yesterday.
In fact, the only feature was the lack OF
something beyond the ordinary. To sum 1t
all up would be to say, there were no new
wells drilled into the fifth sand; the esti-
mated products fell from $1,000 to 81, 600
! barrels; the stocks in the field remained at
a standstill, 135, 500 barrels, and the runs
were 80, 700 o. or nearly II 900 more than
on the day before. and there were two wells
| drilling within a dozen feet of the fifth sand
last evening, and, with ordinary luck, both
are the Forest Oil Company's No. 5 on the
| Heron farm, located about $500 feet south
| west of the Matthews No. l. and the Oakdal
farm. far f The oasdaie Oil TI Company's om nv No. on
| the Baldwin farm located about 800 feet
southwest of its big No. l. on this property,
may reach the fifth this morning. Their No.
| l on the Hutchinson farm is drilling
| just below the Gordon. The same com
| panys No. g. Morgan, should be in the ffth
| early next week, and its No. 8, Wallace, will
be in the Gordon by Wednesday. No. 6, on
the Wallace farm, is down 600; No. 9, 400,
and Nos. Z, s, 10 and IL are drilling at depths
varying from 200 to 800 feet. The Oakdale's
No. !, on the Gormley farm, tapped the Cor
number OF strong flows from that rock. 1t Is
| showing for an exceptionally good we'll.
| the Royal Gas Company'S No. 2, on the Mary
| Robb, has increased its production from 40
to 45 barrels an hour No. 4, on this farm,
| was due to cet the Gordon sand last even
| ing: The same company's No. Santers, in
which a bit is stuck, is producing so barrels
day from the Gordon sand. The well is
about two bits in the sand. In the south
west McCurdy field the Moore Farm Oil
Company is on top of the fifth sand on the
part of tine Moore farm. The Forest Oil
Company shot its well on the W. j. McGill
property, back of Oakdale, Yesterday, but it
responded with only light flow: The same
company's No. 2, on the r. W. Glenn, Is
drilling at 200 feet.
Shot but Not Improved.
The Venture Oil Company's well, on the
Moorhead, was shot in the Gordon sand yes
terday, but did not improve. The Woodland
Oil Company's venture on the Robert Glad
Gordon. Gallagher Brothers we'll on the
kenawick lot, at Laurel Hill, was drill
ing in the Gordon yesterday with

farm well of Greenlee & Forst yester-
day. Their well on the Miller property, be-
tween Willow Grove and Laurel Hill, is
making 400 barrels day from the Gordon
SAND. Davis & Browns No. l brickyard is
through the fifth and dry. Cushings packer
will be used to-day in an effort to pack off
the gas from the fourth sand, which has
dried up che oil in the Gordon. The Bijou
Oil Company's we'll on the Mcfarland lot
was shot in the Gordon, but failed to i'm
prove; Hervey Bros,'s well on the Catholic
Church lot at Noblestown made several
flows from the Gordon yesterday afternoon.
Aiken & Co.'S well on the Patterson lot, at
VII Willow Grove, is eight feet in the S Gordon T6
we'll, on the Malt House lot at Oakcale, was
spraying some oil from the fifth sand yes
terday afternoon.
Robson & Browns well, on the Dietrich
lot, at Mcdonald, was in the Gordon yester-
day and made couple of light flows. In
Greenlee & Forst's No. 8, on the Mevey farm,
q gas vein of several hundred pounds pres
sure was struck in the 5Ofoot sand. The rig
al their No. 10, Mevey farm, took fire from
gas struck in the 50-foot sand yesterday
morning, and was totallg destroyed before
the flames were extinguished.
Hartman Co. are in q predicament at
their well. on the J. II. Kelso farm, south of
Mcdonald; They intended to shoot it yes,
feet and cannot be moved. To try to move
it is perilous to the shooters, and if the gly-
cerine explodes the well will probably be
ruined
The sistersyille Wells.
The Sistersville field is now attracting a
great deal of attention, more in fact than
the results of the researches made by the
drill would seem to warrant The following
