oakdaIe is Not Producer-The Fores,
Oil Company's No. 1 Robert Wallace
Showing Rather Light-The Crawford
Still Holding Up.
There was a general cause for complaint
in the oil fields yesterday. The wells that
were due did not pan out with the fullness
which was anticipated.
The No. on the Mclean property, be.
longing to Greenlee & Forst, was drilled
through the fifth sand and is no good in that
| formation.
There were dozens of operators in this
region who did not expect that the Mclean
would be well, owing to its location. 1t
was south of any of the other big producers,
several hundred feet, and for this reason it
was looked upon as an important test we'll.
Northeast of the old Mefse well. drilled by
Lynch, Buchheit & Co., the No. / on the
Robert Wallace farm, of the Forest Oil Com
| pany, was reported yesterday afternoon to
be in the top of the Gordon, and not showing
any oil,
1t is in the Gordon sand that oil is found
in this locality, and unless the we'll de-
velops into producer it will prove big
disappointment to its owners. Anything
put down in the region of the Meise well is q
test.
This has been thoroughly demonstrated
by others which have been drilled in the
same locality.
The Shane No. was practically dry hole,
and well on the Kirk, drilled by Greenlee
Forst, in this region, was practically dry.
The next wells in will be j. NJ. Guffey &
Co.'S No. on the Shane farm, and Greenlee
& Forst's No. Kirk.
Is on Top OF the Fifth.
]. NJ. Guffey & Co.'S No. 2 on the j. C. Nc
Michael farm in the lower part of the Nc
Curdy field was on top OF the fifth sand last
night and showing Tor good well.
The failure OF the Mclean lot we'll below
Oakdale will have rather a depressing ef-
feet upon those who are interested in that
territory. 1t is located only few hundred
feet south of some of the biggest wells ever
struck in the Noblestown pool, and the own
ers s looked ,ssa for good well; In It this they
better luck in No. on the No. Marshall
lease, but it is doubtful.
The No. 2 Crawford of the Woodland Oil
Company, located seven miles southwest OF
Mcdonald station, was visited yesterday by
hundreds OF people. They were nearly all
operators, but a great many country people
hocked around to get a glimpse of big oil
well in a new pool. 1t was still reported to
be making 80 barrels an hour. There is no
doubt but that 1t opens up new pool which
dollars to the owners. Other wells we're
being located in the region yesterday.
The estimated production of the field
went up from 2l,000 to q 500 barrels yester-
day.
