Finished in the Mcdonald Oil Field.
Yesterday was aproliic day in the oil
fields. There were q number of wells
which were showing good, and at Oakdale,
or rather only few hundred feet south
west of it, we'll was drilled into the fifth
sand which started off at 80 barrels an
hour.
This well was surprise to all 1t Is 10
Gated only q short distance from Green
lee & Forst's No. Marshall The new
| producer belongs to Campbell Co. and Is
located on what's known as the Wooohouse
| lot For several months this property was
considered no good, and even people who
mad large interests in the field refused to
take 1t up.
Finally Mr.. Campbell, who is a tenderfoot
| in the oil business, got hold of the property,
and put down the well, which Is now max
ing from 25 to 80 barrels an hour.
The well Of 3 r. Jennings Co. Co.. on 10 the ne
u feet in the fifth sand, is making only
about 100 barrels day, and unless they
strike a second pay the chances are that 1t
Late Friday. evening this well was
reported in Pittsburg TO be maxi
ing ten barrels an hour, but
70 shoW that IL had eTer pas oSt this
OF petroleum in so minutes: 1t ts located
some distance west of the we'll of Campbell
Co. on the Woodhouse lot.
The latter well shows bevond doubt that
there 1s fifth sand oil, with producing quail
ties, located south Of Oakdale, and only a
few venruresome test wells are needed to
prove the truth Of this assertion.
