FOUR NEW OIL WELLS.

Two Are Fifth-Sanders at Mcdonald, and
Two Are at Venice-Southeast Wells al
Snyder Wen South of Washington Is
Dry.
There were indications of good oil wells in
several localities yesterday. One well.
Greenlee & Forst's No. Marshall, was added
to the list of big ones in the Mcdonald field
as losing 40 barrels an hour. but there was
no change in the estimated production,
which is given as 20, 500 barrels.
The Marshall well was shot Thursday
evening, and the increase in its production
was due to glycerine. Their No. 2 on the
Noble heirs farm, in the western part of the
field, fell from ~ to 80 barrels an hour
E. a. Jennings & Co.'S venture on the Mag
gle Campbell farm, located half mile south
OF Noblestown and djoining the Marshall
property, was the subject of considerable
comment yesterday. 1t was duster in
the Gordon sand, and was reported
late Thursday evening to be showing light
in the fifth, but yesterday morning they
struck a pay and the we'll began to flow.
Mr.. Jennings stated yesterday that he was
confident it would be good producer.
Two Producers In Venice.
Fatty Conklin's well on the Updegraff lot
at Venice, five miles south of Mcdonald, is
q well in the fourth sand. According to the
reports received from it yesterday it was
standing full of oil, and would be rugged up
for pumper the first of the week.
Wiser & Stevenson's venture on the Stur-
geon lot, in Venice, is also well, but from
the 50-foot sand. They are rigging it up Tor
pumping and operators who visited it yes
terday claimed that it will make so or 70
barrel well.
The Devonian Oil Company's No. on the
j. w. Roeb iarm, mile north OF Mcdonald,
and only 800 feet southwest of the Royal
Gas Company's big well on the Mark Robb
property, was reported last evening to be l5
feet in an inferior grade of fifth sand and
showing tor only 60 or 75 barrels day. 1t
is a disappointment, as the owners were
confident they would get good producer
Robb well. 1t also seems to completely
shut Off the Mark Robb pool to the south
west, where operators in the vicinity had
figured that it would go.
The Devonian's No. on the W. B. Moor
head farm, located q mile southwest OF Nc
Donald, is due Monday or Tuesday.

SIsrERsvILLE-J. M. Patterson Co. have
taken some of the best sand ever found in Z
this field from their test well on the John
Mccoy farm, located mile and half south
east of town. From the fifth to the twelfth
bits they went through an excellent quality
of sano, and then struck a streak of pebble
sand nn.. from which ,facH pebbles ld;g bigger
full of water, but as there is no gas it has
failed to flow. The tools were fastened in
the well yesterday, and when they are got
ten out the owners intend to rig it up Tor
pumping. Specimens of the sand which
resembles that taken from the old Matthews
well in the Mcdonald field, are on exhibit
tion at Mr.. Patterson's office in the Fergu-
son building.
The Mcdonald Oil Company's well on the
farm, located half a mile south of
