The Forest Oil Company's No. 2 Is Making
From 12 to 15 Barrels an Hour-Lo-
cat-d Southwest of Oakdale-Dry Holes
Below SistersvilIe.
There was one good well reported yester-
day in the Mcdonald field. 1t comes in the
nature of a surprise as it is located almosD
in the midst of circle of small wells or dry
holes. The well is the Forest Oil Companys
No. on the Stirling farm and it is making
from IL to Is barrels an hour. 1t is about
half mile west of south from Oakdale.
1t joins the famous Marshall farm, which
Greenlee & Forst developed on the south.
The Fo est Oil Company's No. l on this
farm, which was drilled nearly year ago,
was dry in all sands, but considerable gas
was found in the fourth sand, and some in
the fifth. Jennings Co. and the Florence
Oil Company both drilled light wells in this
vicinity, and the Forests we'll was almost
entirely unexpeced. 1t may lead to more
drilling, but as the sand has already been
proven to be spotted. there are few who
would care to take a chance at it.
Jennings & Co.'s well on the Sproul farm
was reported last night to be drilling in the
fifth sand, but according to the latest reports
no pay streak had been reached.
The Wheeling Gas Company was on top of
the fifth sand in it's No. Kelso, east of the
Scott farm wells, last evening, and they
were expecting the rock at every bit.

southwest of their No. l. which was good

good producer at this well. Their No Pot

Greenlee Forsts No. l on the Rough
farm, near CHARTERS, was drilling in the top
Of the fourth n sand yesterday. They expect
the oil at % feet in the sand.
The Tidal on Company, which has been
delayed at its No. 10 on the Marshall farm,
south of Noblestown, on account of having
to drill out bailer in the Gordon, will be in
the fl ;th this week. Their No. 8 Marshall is
also due in the firth within few days.
The New Underclfff Sand.
UNDERoLFF-The information published in
THE DISPATCH yesterday relating to Ros-
enzrs well at Wittmer station created con-
siderable comment among the oil operators.
1t was not drilled any deeper yesterday, and
is still standing with 400 feet of oil in the
hole. The tools may be run to-day. The
sand is found at $50 feet.
John NJ. Patterson, the well-known opera.
sands in that locality. asserts that it is a
sixth sand, as it is IT'S feet below the top of
the fifth sand.
S. d. Robson, who drilled a well within a
at about l,905 feet. He now intends to drill
his well on down to the new sand.
