The Forty-Five Degree Line.
A correspondent writing from Oakdale
lsks how it is possible for the Greenlee &
Eorst well on the Miller farm at that place
md the Forest Oil Company's well on the
Heron at Noblestown to define the eastern
limits of the oil belt when the Heron farm
: over u nile west OF The Nllller Iarm. he |
lso seems confused because the whole
dcCurdy field is east of the Miller farm. 1t
las been determined by oil operators that
n oil belt always runs from the northeast
o the southwest on a 45O line from q north |
nd south line. BY taking a map and fol-
owing 45o line from the McCurdy field
n the southwest he will easily understand
Why the Heron well is west of the Miller
Tell, and how they both come to be eastern
dge wells.
Where Credit Is Due.
A complaint was made to THE DISPATCH
il scout yesterday because Glenn T. Braden
las given the credit for putting out the fire
n the Cook lot well at Mcdonald. Mr.
'raden did not give up the job, as stated in
be complaint. After all other devices had
ailed he went to Oil City and had the
lpering point made at the National Tran
it shops, which was afterward placed in
he burning well and by means of which the
ames were extinguished. This point is
ill in the well.
