OIL IN A NEW SISTERSVILLE WE'LL

One big we'll was brought in the McDon-
aid field yesterday, which helped to swell
the production. Itbelongs to Brown Bros,
Robson & Co., and is their No. on the
McMurray lease.
Yesterday morning at an early hour 1t
reached he sand, and Immediately started
off at the rate of 125 barrels an hour. For
some time it kept this up and then
gradually declined to about 100 barrels an
hour, which it was doing according to the
last reports. 1t is located between Brown
Bros. and Robisons No. l, on the McMurray
lease, which was the first we'll drilled in this
pool, and which virtually opened up the
producing sard rock in that region. and

any length of time to its initial output is a
matter which time alone will tell.
The Forest Oil Company had two wells
due in the fifth sand yesterday afternoon
Neither of these were deep enough in the
sand at a late hour last evening to determine
their value. No. ], on the Nancy Scott
property, located about two miles north Of
Oakdale, was in the sand. but had not struck
the pay streak at o'clock yesterday after
noon. 1t is doubtful whether this well will

Their No. on the Jane Stewart farm is
located few hundred feet northeast of
their No. l on the same farm, which is one
of the best in the field. 1t was due to reach
the fifth sand last night, and from its loca-
ton should be one of the best in the field.
The same company's No. on the J. NJ.
Neeley farm was also due in the fifth last
evening, but may not be in before Monday.
The chances are against it for being good
producer.
The Oakdale Oil Company's well, on the
Mckee farm, was drilled into the 1f.h sand
Yesterday, and will not be better than rs
barrel Il dav well. 1t had been spraying con-
siderable oil for some time, and this led to
the belief that it would be good producer.

Guffev, Russell, McMullen & Co.'s No. 8, on
the Wettengel, was on top of the fifth sand
yesterday morning, but for some reason had
not been drilled to the pay. Judging from
its location it should be good well.

Several years later oil and gas commenced
to come from the hole. which threw out the
tnbing. A cavity 40 feet in diameter was
washed ont. Six or seven years ago it
ceased to flow. The hole was filled with
logs and o barn built over it. Recently
gas burst out of the hole, overturning the
barn, and since then oil and gas have flowed
from the well continuously. Thousands of
people have visited and are going daily to
see the well.
