TWO GOOD. OIL WELLS.

velops Producers McDonald's Pro-
duction Goes Up 900 Barrels-Reports
From Eastern McCurdy and Outlaying
Districts.
There was very decided advance in the
output of the Mcdonald field yesterday.
One new we'll, the Tidal Oil Company's
No on the Marshall farm, just south OF
Oakdale, was put in the list of gauges; and
rated at IS barrels an hour.
The estimated output OF the field was in
creased from 19, 500 to co. 500, an advance OF
lO00 barrels This was almost entirely due
to the Tidal Oil Company's Nos. and 10 on
the Marshall.
The No. s reached a pay in the fifth sand
at a late hour Friday evening, and yester-
day morning it was drilled deeper into the
rock and responded by throwing out 40 bar
rels of oil an hour for several hours.
AbOut the same time the TidaPs No. 10
Marshall tapped the sand and started of at
from 10 to 10 barrels an hour when it was
shut d own and the boiler was Icing moved
back yesterday afternoon. Both of these
wells are in developed territory and do not
open up anything new.
Greenlee & Forst's No. l on the Woods
farm, at Gregg station, was drilled through
the fifth sand yesterday and will be only
small producer.
Fourth Sand Is Disappointing.
The Forest Oil Company's No. on the De-
vine farm, in the eastern McCurdy pool, was
reported last night to be 81 feet in the fourth
sand without showing of oil. Their No. L
fifth sand tomorrow.
Greenlee & Forst's No. l on the Rough
farm, just east of the Devine, was shot in
the fourth sand yesterday afternoon, but
with what success could not be learned.
Their No. on the Rough was in the fourth
sand yesterday, but it will not be deep
enough to reach the pay before tomorrow
night or Tuesday morning.
The Forest Oil Company's No. 6. on the
ID. h. Clever farm, was MAXIM % barrels all
hour yesterday afternoon and their No. 2,
on the Devine, was putting out IL barrels an
hour. The Clever is a f1fth-sander while the
oil in the Devine is obtained in the fourth.
Stewart & Robison's No !, on the SDeer
farm, was drilling in the top OF the fourth
sand yesterday. They have u fishing job on
hand at their No. Mccoy, which is on top
OF the fourth, and their No. Mccoy is due
in the fourth tomorrow or Tuesday.
The Fort Pitt Gas Company has q good
showing of oil in the 30-toOt sand ut the old
well on the Moore farm in the Forest Grove
district, which it is drilling from the 100.
putting in n set of "as pumps at Groveton
which will cost $4,000 when completed.
They have large volume OF gas in their
wells in this district, but there is not enough
natural pressure to ill the mains.
Drilling Near New Castle.
Oil Company which has been drilling pretty
freely in Lawrence county without any
great success, will now drill test well at
New Castle Junction. The well will be on
what is known MS the John S. ord farm, and
the work of building the rig was begun yes
terday. The drill will be started ON the
first o; January. The work is being SUPER
intended by Paul Mahoney, of Rochester,
Beaver county, who is also member OF the
company.
Two Wells in the Gordon.
The Devonion Oil Company's No. 5, on the
X. Mcdonald farm, below Mcdonald, is a
fair producer in the Gordan sand.
Gu1fey Co.'S No. s, on the Shane
farm, in the southern end OF the Meise pool,
was reported last evening to be in the Cor
don and showing tor q good well.
The Tidal Oil Company Is spudd1ng in Its
Nos and 7, on the GLADDEN. farm, just
south OF Nc Donald, ana it will be rigging up
tomorrow at Nos. II and II on the Marshall
property, below Oakdale.
The Forest Oil Company will be in the 100
foot tomorrow on tine II. B. Duncan farm,
near hendersonville, In Butler county.
WiIdcatting i round Imperial
william Guckert & Co. have secured close
to 1000 acres of leases in a solid body at I'm
perial the terminus of the Montour branch
railroad, and will start to drill this week on
the Mrs. Burns farm, about three -fourths of
mile northeast OF the station. Though
this is wildcat venture in one sense, 1t is
not in another. The Elcho Oil Company
drilled well two years ago ABOUT 900 feet
east of this location, found five ieet of fifth
sand and plenty of gas, but no oil. The well
is gassing yet. without casing, enough 10 run
half dozen boilers. About ., 900 ieet east of
This gasser, the Elcho drilled another
well, which found no fifth sand at all. Guck-
ert & Co. are proceeding on the assumption
that the sand must chicken up" toward the
west since it runs out entirely toward the
east, and they are disposed to bank little
on their Iaith.

field yesterday was 20,5OO barrels, 1,OO0 more
than the day before. The Woodland Oil
Company's No. Scott was ma king 40 barrels
