THE PRODUCTION GOES UP.

The Woodland Oil Company Gets a Good
Well Southwest Of McDonald-The
Greenlee s. Forst Mclean Well Dry In
the Gordon-ButIer County Wells.
There was quite surprise sprung where
least expected, in the southwest yesterday,
when the Woodland Oil Company drilled
its No. 2 Crawford into the fifth sand, and
it started off at the rate of 80 barrels an
hour. Subsequently it declined to 35 barrels
an hour, but it is generally believed that it
can be made to increase its production when
drilled deeper. The most that had been
looked for at this we'll, in addition to the oil
from the fourth formation was q slight in
crease from the fifth. 1t is altogether prob
able that this unexpected find will stfmu-
late operations In that quarter Of the field:
The additional production Of this well and
added to it the increase of several others al
ready in the list swelled the total produc-
ton of the field 70 2L000 barrels.
Greenlee & Forst drilled their No. on the
Mclean lot at Noblestown through the Cor.
don yesterday, but found no oil. They will
drill it to the fifth.
and south of Fleming Park the Philadelphia
Gas Company drilled its No. 2, on the Speer
farm. into the sand and will have producer
good for go or Is barrels day.

T. W. Phillips was agreeably surprised TO-
day by striking 50 barrel an hour well on
the Gottleib Wolf farm. Herman district,
where only a 20 barrel well at best was e1-
pected. The sand was tapped at O'Clock
this morning, the bit only penetrating about
six inches, when the well began flowing
strongly. the oil going on the s ground

n. showed 36 inches. The we'll Is nearly
surrounded by small wells and has no partic-
ness. 1t is not likely it will hold mp at these
figures any length of time. although 1t has
shown no signs of weakening this evening.
