GUSHERs AND BUSTERS.

They Were Brought In Yesterday In the
Mcdonald Field In Equal Prop ortion-
Small Wells Are the Rule-Ths Produc-
tIon Remains Unchanged.
The developments in the Mcdonald & ED
were unchanged yesterday, so far as new
wells were concerned. There were a num-
Der of wells brought in, but they were 50
light that nothing can be done with them
and the chances are that they will be con-
signed to oblivion when they come to bs
reckoned with the producers of the world.
There is still considerable work being
done in the neighborhood of Sistersville.
r. G. and T. A. Gillespie are drilling q
number of wells. They are putting down
No. on the Thistle heirs, No. McCoadi,
No. on the G. w. Stocking, No. on the
McCallum, No. 1 on the Nevin Por.
ter, No. 1 on the Samuel Cox, No.
on the j. NJ. Dare, No. 1 on the Williams
farm and No. on the Cain. Their pro-
duction in the field ranges from LOO to
!, 200 barrels day.
The Stuckmeyer well of W. P. Rend q
Co. is dryer than powder house aud the
chances are that it will never be any good.
WooDvILLE, O.-This productive Wood
vile pool is pretty we'll confined to the east
and west and shows that the dry hole on the
Kuhlman ten-acre traot, near the center of
section SO, Woodville township, Sandusky
county, which was completed over o year
ago, ana the we'll completed about Eve years
ago on Mr.. Rauscamp's lime kiln grounds
in the southeast quarter of section 21, same
township. are two far to the east for the
big producing belt. The well Just COM
pleted by Ike Collins on the southeast
corner of George Albert, Jr.'s farm, sit
uated on the southwest quarter of Sec
tion 10, same township, is undoubtedly
on the west edge of the field, as it only
produced about 20 barrels the first "A
hours, and has abundance of salt water
The north end of the pool is about Il miles
in width, while the south end is less than .
mile in width. The light producer on the
Albert farm, the light producer on the !.
Krotzer farm and the dry holes on the Rex
and Iieman farms show that the field is no
good to the west. The north Developments
are showing light, and the chances for much
of an extension are rather discouraging at
the present writing. George w. Barnes &
Co. are in the sand in their No. 1, on the
southeast corner of the 7. L. Truman farm,
situated on section II, same township At
about II feet in the sand at noon yesterday
the showing was for a light producer, similar
to Keil & Pencils well On the Garrett
Myers farm, 400 feet east.
Found a Good Sand.
The sand in this well is of good quality,
and deeper drilling may bring forth more
crude, but the chances are not very favor
able. The Ohio Oil Company's test on the
center of the west line of the Garrett Myers
iarm, has been due in the sand for some
time, but bad luck has caused delay. It
will probably be completed by tomorrow
evening, as the contractors expect to strike
the sand some time today. This location
is about 80 rods southeast of Keil & PEN
nel's well, and at least one mile in advance
to the northeast of developments in the
original pool. This will give the territory
in that direction a good test, and much
depends upon this we'll To the north
west of the pool proper is q strip of
about two miles located between the AL
bert farm we'll and Keil & Pennell on the
Garrett Myers farm. The territory will bs
tested in this direction for short distance,
as the Ohio Oil Company is drilling a test
on the southeast corner OF the Henry Her.
man farm, situated short distance north
the Kellogg farm producer and on the north
side of the Perrysburg- Fremont turnpike.
Another test will be drilled "a miles in
advance to the northwest of the pool, as
Finch Bros. and others have made a
location in the southeast corner of the
Linker 140-scre tract, situated on the
northwest quarter of section 18, and one
half mile east of the Sandusay-W ood
county line. The Hardly Able OIL Com
pany's test on the H. Borchering farm, in
section 6, south of the Portage river, 40
| rods east OF the county line aud two miles
| southwest of the pool, has declined to about
20 barrels day. The south end toward the
gas field is now showing considerable activ-
ity and the prospects look favorable tor a
connection with the Rollersville field. This
is one of the best fields opened up in Ohio
in many day, and the field shows good
staying qualities. Leasers are still at work
gathering up all the territory they can find,
and some big money is being paid.
The Gauges.
