PERSONAL NOTES ABOUT Oil MEN
The work in the oil fields yesterday,
especially at Mcdonald, seemed to have q
visible effect on the production. The men
who have been gauging that field and are
thoroughly familiar with it reported that
the production of Mcdonald yesterday was
p, 500 barrels, or I, 900 barrels more than the
day before. There were two wells dropped
yesterday from the list Of those making 20
barrels an hour or more, and two new ones
were added to take the places of those
dropped.
The wells dropped were Forst & Green
lees No. McMurray and Jennings, Gufey
& Co. s No. on the Heron farm.
| Those which were put in the list are j.
NJ Guffev's No 9, on the Andy Shane farm,
which is making 80 barrels an hour from the
Gordon, and the Forest Oil Company No. 2
on the Mrs. Campbell farm. The latter is
an old we'll which had run down. but when
shot and cleaned out, started off at 25 barrels
an hour. It is located north and dwest !, 600
feet from the Meise No. south of Willow
Grove.
The Peoples Gas Company's No 14s on
| the James Wallace farm, was brought up
from 20 to 40 barrels an hour by little
agitation.
Forst b Greenlee's No. on the Marshall
farm, south of Noblestown, dropped from IS
| to 45 barrels an hour yesterday.
The Florence Oil Company's No. 8 Robb
! fell from % to 20 barrels an hour. 1t is a
Gordon sander.
The aggregate hourly output of the wells
given in the foot of this column is 210 bar
rels an hour.
DRY Hole East Of O ,kdal,.
Jennings, Canning & Co.'s test we'll on
tine Oak Ridge Coal Company's property, is
dry. This we'll is located east of Oakdale
about half mile and is an important well,
although another well might be put down
within 100 feet of it and prove a good pro-
ducer Such hos been the history of the
field. A we'll tests only the sand imme-
diately under it.
The Moore Oil Company is still fishing at
its well on the Oak Ridge Coal Company's
tract.
Greenlee & Forst's No. 2 on the Kirk
farm, south aud east Of the Meise, was re-
ported to be making only 120 barrels a day
yesterday instead of 20 barrels an hour as
previously reported.
The Forest Oil Company's No. 1 on the
Kate Shane farm, adjoining the Kirk, is
due to get the Gordon sand to-day.
There was report in circulation late last
evening tuaI e oTSI cN uIeculSe NO
Marshall had deem drilled deeper into the
sand and was making 60 barrels an hour
Forst & Greenlee have put the last cas-
ing in their wildcat well on the Nesbit farm,
northeast of Oakdale.
Stewart & Co. we'll on the Robb farm,
north and west of Oakdale, is in the fifth
sand and showing very light. It is shut
down until the boiler can be moved out.
j. M. Gufey's No. 2, on the Andy Shane
property. is something of surprise. 1t ID
located almost three-fourths of mile south
southwest of the Sinclair Oil Company's
wells. on the Kirk property. 1t makes
long stretch of territory look good, and will |
doubtless be soon developed
