GAsSERS STRUCK Up THE ALLEGHENY

| morning in the estimated production of the
Mcdonald field. For the "a hours ending
Monday morning it was given as 10, 500.
| while Yesterday it was placed at %, 500, an
| increase of 1000 barrels. This was due TO
Greenfield & Forst's strike at their No.
ON the Noble heirs farm, located in the
western part of the field, about two miles
west OF Noblestown and southwest about
halt mile from the old No. on the File
farm.
1t reached the top of the fifth sand at a
late hour Monday night, and started off
at 300 barrels an hour AS soon as it COM
menced to flow the drill was stopped, and
the well shut down. 1t kept UP the 300
barrel an hour gait TOR several hours, and
then gradually settled down to a slower
pace Early yesterday morning it was do
ing 16O barrels an hour and in the afternoon
it was reported at the office OF the firm to
be putting out from 120 to 125 barrels an
hour.
The No. Walker, of Fitzsimmons &,
Co., which came in several weeks ago at
125 barrels an hour, and is still making 60
an hour, is located only 300 feet northeast
of Greenlee & Forst's big Noble we'll
The Noble well was a complete surprise,
and was the talk OF the trade
yesterday. 1t opens up pool to
the southwest of the old Fife farm
which it is very probable that hundreds of
thousands OF barrels NAV be taken. Terri.
tory which only few days ago was consid-
cred barren and risky to drill is now looked
upon as choice, and new developments may
soon be expected.
Greenlee & Forst are starting Nos. 8 and
4 on this farm, and Matson & Co. have
located OH the Wettengel, which
joins on the south, while tine Devonian
Oil Company has a big block OF
undeveloped territory little farther to the
south and southwest which they intend to
test within the next five or six weeks.
Over mile to the west and south is the
Cook farm we'll which was recently finished
up and in which no filth sand rock was
found. This well and the Mckee we'll seem
to shut off the pool to the northwest
and west, but there is strong
possibility that it may cross the western
end of the Elliott farm and connect up with
the big well which the Royal Gas Company
recently bought on the Mark Robb farm.
The Warrington Producer.
Another fifth sand well which was ex-
citing great deal of comment yesterday
among the few vino knew OF it, is A
j. Montgomery's located on the
Straight farm, three miles southwest
of Manningten, W. Va The oil from the
old Warrington wells is found in the Big
Injun sand. The Straight farm well was
put down to the Big Injun soma time ago,
but it was barren in that formation. Re- |
Gently it was drilled down to what is be- |
leved to be the fifth sand and Saturday by |
actual gauge, of we'll known oil man who |
was on the tanks, it put out 900 barrels of |
petroleum.
The total depth of the hole is $3.50 feet,
and the oil was found at $50 feet below the
stratum, or break, as in this case, where
the 100-foot sand ought to be.
This is one of the most important finds
which has been made for months. as it un-
doubtedly opens up new fifth sand pool,
although it may be long time before opera
tors will drill 5000 feet for 55-cent oil.
Mr.. Montgomery, who is a resident of
Washington, Pa, was having q pipe line |
laid to the we'll last week, and he expected |
to be able to drill it deeper into the sand
yesterday when the fullest capacity of the
new producer may be determined.
The Woodland Oil Company's No. 8 on
the Crawford tarm, southwest of Mcdonald,
is down 1000 feet, and they expect to drill
their No. 2 on the j John Robb farm, located
north of Oakdale, into the fifth to-day.
The Philadelphia Company bought in a
good gas well yesterday on the Stenagle
tarm, just east of Milltown, in the Pin
brook district.
The Chambers Gas Company also got
yasser yesterday on the Nc Cleane farm,
opposite Sprlngda1e, on the Allegheny
river.
