M'DONALD IS AGAIN UP.

Fitzgjbbons q Co. Get . Big Well. in tho
Western Part of the Field-Estimated
Production on the Jump-Reports
From Butler County Wells.
There was an increase of 1000 barrels in
the estimated production of the Mcdonald
field yesterday. 1t went from 1S,6O0 to 20,
800. This is more than it has been reported
at for weeks aud the chances are that it will
seldom ct as high in the few days that are
left for the field to be in its glory.
The big advance was caused by Fitzgib-
bons & Co.'s No. g. on the j. Walker farm,
which came in early yesterday morning at
the rate of 100 barrels an hour. 1t is located
southwest of the Fife pool and, although it
is in a practically INFESTED territory, there
were few who were willing to wager that it
would be we'll
There was no change reported in any of
the other wells and unless some of them
come in big 1t is probable that the estimated
production of Mcdonald will be down to 15,-
900 or 10, 600 be fore many days.
The Forest Oil Company's No. 2, on the j.
H. Sturgeon farm, was reported yesterday

ut their wildcat on the Glenn farm, three
