HOPE FOR THE FIFE POOL.

One Producer There, and an Important
Experimental Well Started No New
Holes in the Med DonaId FIeld-WeIls Ex-
pected To-D Day and This Week.
The day in the Mcdonald field was en-
tirely barren of interest yesterday, so far
as new wells were concerned, for there was
not one reported. The regular routine
work went on as usual, but it produced no
results worthy of special mention. 1t may
be different to-day and it may not. There
have been thousands of instances in which
wells have had it said of them that
they would reach their objective
today or tomorrow and were delayed
far beyond the allotted time and perhaps
never got them at all. 1t may be so to-day
and that to-morrow's report may again con-
tain no record of Il completed we'll, but it
will hardly happen that all will miss at
once.
What rs Expected.
The Forests W. J. McGill No. 2, northeast
of Oakdale. will reach the fifth sand to-day,
and its McClelland No. 2 late in the week.
The same company's Campbell No. 2, near
the Meise, and McEwen No. 2, between the
Meise and the Mankedick, may both posi-
bly, get in this week.
Greenlee & Forst's Kirk No. l. also near the
Mese, will touch the Gordon on Thursday, ii
not sooner. Their McMurray No. g. on first
lease, Is in the Gordon and will be due in the
fifth this week. Their Marshall & Chalfant
No. is on top of the Gordon and GLADDEN. No.
will get there at the tail end of the week.
Their Bell No. l, Independence, is cased and
is drilling at 1000 feet.
The Venture on Gompany's Springer No.
l. southwest of Mcdonald, has water in the
50-foot and must case 1t off. Its Robbins
No. is still fishing. The fishers got hold
of the tools and drew them up part way, but
they stuck again. Their Woods No. / and
Moorhead No. were shot yesterday.
The Fife Pool
Fitzgibbon, Hairy & Co.'S James Walker,
near the Fife well of Hirsh & Co., was re-
ported by the pipe line gaugers yesterday
as making but 80 barrels an hour. Reliable
information from the well places its actual
production at 70 to 70 barrels per hour The
another we'll on the same farm, little east
and south of this big one The rig has been
waiting tor them for several weeks, If not
months.
Lenz, Schlegel & Fields Noble heirs No. ],
southwest of the Walker some little dis
tance, is in the Gordon and will be in the
turn out to be a producer of any size it will
prove that the Fife pool is another sucker
rod belt, like that from Oakdale to Mobiles
town, and that there might be u good deal of
oil i'll it, too.
The Mcdonald Gauges.
The following estimates were submitted
by the gaugers of the Southwestern Penn
sylvania Pipe Line Company:
The production OF the field was "a 900 or Just
the same as the day before. The hourly gauges
were as follows: jennings Guffey & Co.'s
Matthews No 8, 20; Lynch & Co.'S No.
SIeise, %: Oakdale Oil Company's Nor
gan No. 2, 40; J. NJ. Guffev. & Co.'s No.
MankeaicS Manise 20: No. McMichael, 20; Brown.
Forst & Greenlee's No 2 McMurray %; FItz-
gibbons 4 Co.'S No 3 Walker. 80
On account of the terrible disasters on Oil
creek all business was suspended at Oil City
and therefore no reports of runs
and shipments were sent out.
