There were no new wells brought in yes
terday, but number of ventures were
started. None of the wells which were due
to reach the sand yesterday got into the pay,
but a number of them are so close to it that
they will get into the streak between this
and Monday.
Levin & Burson's we'll on the postoffice
lot at Willow Grove was just above the
Gordon sand last evening. They expected
to get it in yesterday, but were mistaken in
the depth and it will not be drilled in before
tomorrow.
The Forest Oil Company No. on the e.
Wright farm is down 2,0OOfeet. They have
located No. on the same farm. Yesterday
they located No. on the John Scott, and
No. on the Rachel Scott farms, also No 2
on the James McGregor, and No. 2 on the
Campbell heirs.
Guckert & Steele are building rig for
their No. 2 on the Patterson lot at Willow
Grove.
Gufey, Murphy s. Galey's No.
2 on the Mcconnell farm back of
Noblestown is through the fifth
sand and no good. Their No. 3 on the same
property is down 1,900 feet. No 6 is down
700 feet, and rig is being built for No. Z.
along rapidly in their wells on the Wet
tengel farm, and expect to reach the sand in
one OF them early next week.
An Important Fifth Sander.
Guckert & Steele's No 2, on the Bur-
dinal lot at Willow Grove, did not get into
the sand yesterday as expected, but it
should be in early to-day. 1t is an i'm
portant WELL as it is southeast of Aiken 81
Co. IS well, on the Patterson property, and
northeast of Stafford, Clark & Co. s big well
on the Faraday lot.
The latter well was reported to have been
drilled deeper into the sand yesterday and
last evening it was reported to be flowing
at the rate of ZOO barrels day. Whether
this is true or not, there is no question but
that it is good well and win bring its
owners in many Thousands of dollars
Russell & McMullen are drilling No. 's5, 6,
and 8, on the Wettengel farm and they
are building rig for No. 9. The wells
they are now drilling are down from 500 to
1,S00 feet,
The Devonian Oil Company is building
rig for its No. 6 on the Elliot farm, and for
No. 4 on the J. II. Robb farm. Greenlee &

at their No. 3 on the Wade farm at McDon-
aid, and they are also hopeful of getting the
tools out of their No. GLADDEN..
Smith & Co. g we'll at Sistersville, located
on the Stocking farm, is reported as dry and
filled up with salt water.
Outside Operations.
A correspondent at Nineveh, Greene
county, sent in telegram last evening that
the Smith No. 5 had been shot and was
making 45 barrels an hour. Itwas reported
to have broken the connections. The report
came in too late to be verified, but there is
no doubt but that the Nineveh field holds
considerable oil.

on the Schott farm, made 200 barrels during
its first "a hours. The we'll is quite little
in advance of the developments to the
northeast

field, and is showing up good. The hole is
full of oil and the casing connections were
being made this afternoon.
