100 BARRELS AN HOUR.
PATTERSON & JONES' NO. KELSO is
AN OLD TIME GUSAER.

The Forest Oil Company Gets Dry Hole
on the j. NJ. Glenn Farm-Two Gordon
Sanders Brought in Yesterday-The
Production Takes a Jump.
Late last evening Patterson & Jones No.
5, on the Kelso farm in southwest McCurdy,
reached the fifth sand and started off at 100
barrels an hour. 1t does not develop any
new territory as there are other good wells
drilled on this property. The production
advanced yesterday from 2S,6oO to 29,5OO
barrels.
One well completed yesterday was not a
success as an oil producer. 1t belongs to
the Forest Oil Company, and is their No. 2
on the John McDonald-Glenn farm. The
sand found in the well was of an excellent
quality, but it had evidently been drained.
When the drill entered the fifth sand, the
oil, which had been standing in the well
from the Gordon sand, disappeared,
by subterranean passage to some
other company's tanks. Operators in
as the Matthews, Baldwin or Elliott will
open immense passages through the sand.
The rush OF gas to the well from the sur
rounding rock forces holes through it. As a
which others do not seem to be able to
break.
May Re Finished To-Day.
The Forest Oil Company's No. ., on the r.
W. Glenn, is ON top of the fifth sand. 1t is
located about 450 feet from the same COM
pany's No. l on the Eta Glenn farm. The
Forests No. 8, on the Heron farm, is in the
fourth sand and is making about 80
barrels day from the Gordon. Their
"hurry up' well On the Sam Sturgeon farm,
north of Oakda!e, is down 1000 feet.
Four weeks ago the rig timbers were not
on the ground. This is without doubt the
quickest drilling which has been done in
the field. The well was started after the
Agnes Kemp farm well came, i'll and as the
lease only held for 81 days longer the COM
pauy was anxious to complete a well IN that
time and avoid forfeiting the farm.
The Oakdale Oil Company's No. 3 Baldwin
is through the Gordon sand. All of the
wells on the Wallace farm, with the excep-
company's Nos. G, I, s. 9, 10 and II, should all
be finished up within the next ten days.
The Martins Ferry Oil Company's well on the
Mrs. Carr lot, near the coal tipple in the the
Gordon and made $50 barrels during the first
ten hours after reaching that rock. The
Calvin Oil Company expects to get the Cor
don sand to-day on the Matthews lot. The
Peoples Gas Company's No. H. on the Mil
ler farm, should have been in the Gordon
last evening. The same company's No.
l. Wallace, located ,e 400 feet east east
Hill, is down 400 feet. They are building a
rig for No. q The Northtield Oil Company's

succeeded in spearing past the tools, but
could not get them ont.
the Joe Robb farm. Their No. Elliott is
making so barrels day from the Gordon
sand, but will be drilled to the fifth.

completed on the Freshwarer farm by Muir
ray 6 Watson. 1t was the only well drilling
in the field.
the Roseberry Colvin farm, north of de-
velopments, q third pay was struck last
