NOT A SIGN OF OIL

Was Found in the Philadelphia Company's
Turner-Jennings, Guffey & Co. Get a
Fair Well on the Matthews Farm.
The reports from various parts of the oil
fields yesterday were not calculated to de-
press the bulls on the market to any great
extent There was dry hole drilled in in
the McCurdy field, a very small one near
Gregg station, east of Oakdale. and 200
barrel well north of Noblestown.
The duster in northeastern McCurdy is
the Philadelphia Company's much talked
| about Martin Clever we'll which was a
casser for several months and was drilled
! down only since the Forest Oil Company
got its big fifth sander on the d. Z. Clever
| farm. The Philadelphia Company's Mar
tin Clever is located about ], ,080 feet north
east of the Forests we'll. 1t was drilled
| through the fifth sand yesterday and not
| a drop of oil was developed A couple of
| bits of gooi sand were found near the bot
| tom, but the rest was hard and fine. If
there is a continuation of the pool which
the Forest struck it must go almost directly
north.
The small well near Gregg station is on
| the Turner lot and belongs to the Forest Oil
Company. 1t will make from 25 to 80 bar
rels day.
