The Royal Gas Company Gets a Big Well
the sauters Property to the East
Wells on Top of the Sand-Big Wild
WOOD Well.
There is no better proof that the McDon-
aid field is as spotted as leopard's skin
than is given by the Royal Gas Company's
well, on the Sauters property, which was
drillel into the fifth sand yesterday
1t is several hundred feet northeast
of Shaffer & Co.'S well, on the
Fanny johnson lot Yesterday afternoon it
was reported to be making from 60 to IS bar
rels an hour, and rs it is located consider
ably east of the 450 line through the John
son lot it opens up a pool which has been
entirely unsupported heretofore. Besides
It makes W. p. Renu's well at the
laurel Hill coal mines look n great
deal better than it did couple OF days ago.
1t may turn ont that the pool under the
Miller and the Mevey farms diverces sud
denly to the east and runs just north of the
johnson and the DeRoy wells. The lower
end Of the Mcdonald field is undoubt-
edly as spotted as any field which
las been found in Allegheny county.
Right northeast of the big Cook lot and
Sauter & Co.'S wells back of the hardware
store, some small wells have been found.
There have also been n few wells drilled q
few hundred feet south of the Short lot,
tOrious fact that the wells just
up the hollow from the big Butler lot well
OF Clark a Bannister were little better than
busters IN the fifth sand, and taken alto
gcther they go to show that the prediction
made in THE DISPATCH two months ago.
that it would prove a breakfast
bacon field, has turned out as prophesed.

on the McCarty farm at Primrose, southwest
of Mcdonald, is good for 100 barrels a day

nent has been caused by the fact that

when 1t was being drilled into the fifth sand.
