TWO M'DONALD BUSTERS.

One Is in the Fife Pool, and the Other
Northeast of the Meise-Both Are in
the Fifth Sandstone Oil in q McCurdy
Well.
There was another duster placed to the
credit of the Mcdonald field yesterday in
the rapidly growing list 1t is in the old
Fife pool, which has produced only couple
of fair producers, and nearly a dozen dry
holes.
The failure of yesterday is known as the
No. 2 Walker, and belongs to LentZ, Schleg-
le & Co.
The Scott No. 2, of the Woodland Oil Com
pany, is the only good well which has been
drilled i'll recently, and it comes like ray of
sunshine on dreary day to the operators in
Mcdonald. who have been hearing OF moth
in. but busters lately. and had almost come
10 believe that the fertility of the field WAS
indeed a thing OF the past.
In the same part of the field in which the
Woodlands well is located Knox Bros. Il Co.
expect to drill their O. ?, on the Scott farm,
into the fifth sand to-day. 1t is located
about two miles due southwest of Mcdonald
and southwest OF the Woodlands well.
The Tidal Oil Company's No. 9, on the
Marshall 1arm, 1900 feet south OF Nobles-
town, was expected to get the fifth sand at o
late hour last evening.
The Forest Oil Company's No. l on the
Robert allace Iarm, which is located half
amile northeast of the big Gordon sand wells
in the Meise hollow, was reported yesterday
to be almost through the fifth sand and dry.
1t was dry in the Gordon also. This would
seem to he a thorough test OF the pool in a
northeasterly direction, ana con sequently
no more wells will likely be started in that
vicinity.
The Philadelphia Company's well. on the
Martin Clever farm, is in the bottom of the
Fifth sand, and shut down OH account OF q
break in the machinery. Tankage has been
nrla IA
pect that they will yet get producer. 1t is
1000 feet north OF west from the Forest Oil
Company's big Clever well.
One Venture Showing Oil.
The only thing that was reported yester-
day as IN any way resembling well was at
the Forest Oil Company's test on the A. P.
Clever farm, which they have been drilling
down to the nth sand. When eight feet in
that formation the hole suddenly filled with
OIL The sand above that point had been
hard and dry, and they had slight hopes of
getting producer.
In the CHARTERS district Greenlee Forst
are in the 4O1foot sand.at No. Rough, and
are down $50 feet in No. >.
Down southwest of the Meise pool Green
lee 4 Hartman's No. Potter Is still making
nearly 800 barrels day from the Gordon:
No. . PoLIer is down l,65O ieet, and No. 3. 900
feet.
They are starting a rig on the Shaner
farm, a mile south of the Potter iarm, and
about LOO feet north of the Florence Oil
Company's well on the Miller, which is max
ing 80 barrels a day from the fourth sand.
Greerlee & Forst's No. l Woods near
Gregg station, in which some gas was de-
veloped in the lO0-foot sand, is down 1,sOO
feet. Their No. 2 Oak Ridge is drilling at
l. 200 feet and No. Aiken, in McCurdy, is 800
feet deep.
Trouble With Underclif Wells.
observation-disclosures & Sohn's No.
Fucker is in the top of the 3O-foot and shut
down. They expect to reach the third sand
this week in their Erhmentrout we'll. A
little gas and Oil from the 3O-foot has been
delaying them greatly.
Mercer & McClurg are pulling the casing
at their Miller farm well in which water was
found in the bottom of the 1O0-ioot and they
Rosenrrs we'll at wittmer station was re-
ported yesterday to be drilling in the third
sand.
