There were number of wells in the lower
fields drilling in the oil sands yesterday,
and with the exception of Patterson &
sohn's Fucker farm we'll at Undercliff they
were all showing light.
The Wheeling Gas Company's No. 2 on the
Kelso farm was reported to 6e about l5 feet
in the fifth sand last night, and only a small
flow of gas had been developed. They lost a
bailer in the hole at this point, and at last
accounts they were fishing for it, The sand
was getting harder the deeper they went,
and the owners gave up nearly all hope last
night of getting producer.
This well is disappointment to all who
have been following the developments in
the Scott pool. The ricn part Of the belt
seemed to lie to the east Of the first wells
which were drilled, and as the Kelso No.
was about 500 feet east OF Knox Bros. & Co.'S
No. Scott, which is big well, it was ex-
pected that 1t would be q good producer be-
yond the shadow of doubt. The No. 2
Kelso is about l,5O0 feet due south of No. l.
which came in last March at the rate of $50
barrels day, and is still making 100 barrels
a day, although it has never been cleaned
out or shot. -......

den farm, Is through the 50-foot, in which
only a small showing of gas was found, and
1t is being drilled on down to the Gordon
