BIG NOBLESTOWN WELLS.

New Producers of the First Magnitude
Tapped in that Region-others Show
ing Good in the Gordon sand-Dry
Holes Reported North of Oakdsle.
Some DAYS ago cotemporary published
the statement that the Producers Oil Com
pany intended to build line into the Sis
tersville field. This statement was denied
yesterday by an official of the Producers
Company, who asserted positively that such
a line had never been contemplated by the
producers.
And their statement which has been freely
circulated WAS that after the Crescent line
was completed to the seaboard, two or
three other lines would be built to the
ocean docks.
No one has been found, however, who was
willing to accept the responsibility of con-
structing any of these lines. The Crescent
line will cost at least $780, 600 before 1t is
completed, and there are few producers
who are willing to go into an undertaking OF
this kind.
In speaking of the situation last evening 8
producer said: 1.-THE fact is that great
many of the successful operators in the Nc
Donald field are holding on to their oil, and
not until they sell their product will the
price OF oil increase.
Much Oil Held in the Line.
There must be at least 200 600 barrels held
in the line by Mcdonald operators, and as
belief that the price of crude will go up.
THE production now does not warrant
such q low price, but the stock does"
