AFTER OTHER FIELDS.
Oil Operators Looking Around for
Prospective Pools.
WANT OIL FOR TIE NEW LINES.
One New Gordon Sand Well Reported at
Mcdonald Yesterday.
IN ZELIEN0PLE AND sIsTERSVILI4I

Since Mcdonald has gone below 10000
barrels in daily production, and Sistersville
has dropped over 1000 barrels in the last
few days, operators are wondering where the
next record breaking oil wells will be
found.
No operators have been found who are
anxious for a nev field before the price
goes to 81, and, Is none of them deny that
if they had any show Whatever of getting
as big wells as the early ones at Mcdonald,
they would Jump In and drill even though
the market should 60 to 25 cents.
John Galloway said yesterday afternoon,
In speaking of the decline OF SistersvIlle:
SIT IL surprising the way the wells have
been falling of, and The DISPATCH hit
the nail on the head when It stated last
week that the field had been overestimated:
1t is the wells down in the falls, around
the town, which have declined the fastest,
and there seems to be no telling where they
and the only drilling now being done there
is for the purpose of holding leases.
''What We want is better market and
there will be plenty Of new wells goipg with

Tennessee and Kentucky"

Another oil man said: There will have
to be more OIL found IL the two new crude
lines now being built expect to do any busi-
ness. Mellon has already a pretty fair grip
on Mcdonald, but outside Of that field he has
nothing to back him up. while the upper
country is covered with National Transit
lines which arc easily handling all Of the oil
1t is possible for them to get.
"Where the Oil is to come from that the
new lines expect to handle is q mystery
that time alone will solve. They may cut In
on the old lines, or there may be new field
discovered by the time they are ready to
There were only two wells reported to be
making 20 barrels an hour, or more, in the
Mcdonald field yesterday. One is the Sim
clair Oil Company's No on the Kirk farm,
south of Willow Grove, which is making 20
barrels an hour from the Gordon.
The other is Forst Greenee's No. Mar
shall, southeast of Noblestown. It is an old
fifth sander and was shot and run up to 80
barrels an hour. This makes the combined
hourly production of these two wells so bar
daily output of the field is 5000 barrels,
which is as low as 1t has ever been before.
