Change Yesterday-Several Wells Which
Should Get the Pay Streak To-Day.
There were few wells added to the list in
the Mcdonald field yesterday. The only
one of Importance, or rather of size, was
Patterson & Jones' No. &, on the Kelso
farm, in southwest McCurdy. 1t was re-
ported to have come in and to be making
80 barrels an hour. 1t is located
in old territory and is not much of sur
diate vicinity. Bailey & Patterson's wen at
Willow Grove came i'll yesterday and in the
first 12 hours put 1876 barrels of oil in the
tank. 1t is in the Gordon sand. Thompson
& Co. are starting two wells on the McVlcker
property back of Willow Grove.
The LennoX well at Oakdale was shot yes
terday morning with 20 quarts Of glycerine.
1t 1t, responded by throwing solid & e1umn ann5a Is
who have leases in the neighborhood be-
lieve it will be fair well.
The production yesterday was the same
as the day before, owing to number Of old
wells having been agitated. The stocks
were pulled on for q short time and reduced
to u, 900 barrels. There is now no danger OF
the production going to such point that 1t
cannot be handled, and no one in the field
ever expects to see it above $4,000 barrels
again. The Gordon production is still going
up but not as fast as it was few months
ago.
In the Upper Country.
The "mystery" week on Sawmill run is at
tracing a great many northern oil men to
that vicinity. 1t is guarded, and no one is
allowed to visit it. 1t is supposed to
be about 1,4OO feet deep, but nothing
definite is known about it. The We'll
is located II miles north of kinZua.
The latest report from 1t is that the hole
has been plugged on top of the fourth sand:
Almost any morning the farmers in the
vicinity expect to wake up and find them
selves rich, as it is believed that the owners
OF this well will send the bit into the sand
The well first drilled by the Smethport
Gas Company on the Tyler farm, mile
southeast of Smethport, has demonstrated
and that oil may be found in paying quanti-
ties.
The Gale well, on Middle Island. near St.
Mary's, is flowing at the rate of 100 barrels
month. The Standiford we'll made nice
flow last week. There are no tanks at the
well, and the oil was lost.
