The Meise Gordon sand pool, which
promised so we'll for time, has been very
disappointing in the last two days
1t lies about mile south of Willow
Grove, on the Panhandle Railroad, IT miles
southwest of Pittsburg. A few months
ago, when Lynch, Buchheit & Co. drilled
in their wildcat on the Meise farm and it
started or at 80 barrels at hour, 1t seemed to
open up big lot of territory.
The Forest Oil COMPANY had drilled q dry
hole on the Stirling farm, milo northeast
OF the Mefse, and operators naturally con-
cIuded that the pool ran to the southwest.

the Meise.
Northeast Of the Shane about 800 feet is
the Belmont Oil Company's No. J., on the
Morgan six acres. 1t was drilled into the
Gordon yesterday, and will be q very small
well.
Light Well on tho Kirk.
The St Clair OH Company's No. on the
Kirk farm, located about a quarter of a mile
southwest OF the old Meise we'll, was in the
Gordon last evening. and will make prob
ably leo barrels day. These wells seem to
cut off the pool to the southwest. and unless
there Is an opening to the south or east it
would seem that the old Meise well had
been located over pond from which it has
drawn about all of the oil.
The Florence Oil Companv's No. on tho
Parsonage property Just south Of Willow
Grove, is due in the Gordon early this week.
