The Florence OIL Company Gets 80 Barrel
an Hour Producer in the Meise Hollow
Dev,ne Farm Well Doing 100 Barrels
General Increase.
There was a general increase in the work
of oil operators yesterday. The wells which
thew drilled In proved better than for sew
eral davs past, and the individual operators
who owned an interest in the new wells
were better pleased than those who have
recently finished up new work.
The estimated production of the McDon-
aid field went up from $1,000 to $500 barrels
There were two new wells added to the list
of those making 20 barrels an hour or more.
One of them is fresh well. but the other
was brought up by glycerine.
The Florence Oil Company, which was
formerly known as Friday. Keil & Co.,
drilled their No. on the Robb heirs farm
into the Gordon sand and it started off at
so barrels an hour. 1t Is located in the
of Willow Grove. Their Nos. and on the
same property aresdue to reach the fifth the
last of next week.
In the same neighborhood but half m lie
to the south west j. NJ. Guffey's No. on the
Shame farm, is down ], 500 feet. His No on
the same property is drilling at $50 eet, and
No. is down 300 feet.
Is on Top Of the Sand.
The Forest Oil Company's No. Q on the ].
R. Sturgeon farm, was reported to be on
top of the sand last evening. Their No. 8
on the Nancy Campbell farm, in the Meise
hollow, south of Willow Grove. is dry be-
yond doubt.
.Fitzgibbons Co.'s No. 8 Walker, in the
Fife district on the western side of the field,
was reported last night to be showing for a
well.
There was something of a surprise in the
extreme northeastern end of the McCurdy
field when the Forest Oil Company drilled
its well deeper on the Devine farm. This
well has attracted great interest, as 1t is q
fourth sand producer, and is ahead OF every
other well in this end of the field. 1t was
reported to be doing from five to eight bar
reis a day, but with deeper drilling this was
brought up to 100 barrels a day. and prop
erty in that vicinity has taken decided
jump skyward.
