for Producer.
MAyNINGToN WE'LL is LOOKING BIG


Another drop in the estimated production
of the Mcdonald field was recorded yester-
day. Ii fell from %, 900 to q, 500 barrels, q
decline of 500 barrels.
There were no big wells brought in, but
before the week closes the Devonian Oil
Company expects to finish up some wells
between the Noble heirs and the Mark Robb
farms, which will add materially to the
daily production of the field and possibly
bring it up to $4,000 or 25, 900 barrels day.
The Philadelphia Company's well on the
Leede farm, located in the extreme north
eastern part of the McCurdy field, developed
a showing of oil at late hour Monday
night, ana according to instructions it was
shut down until the owners could be COM
municated with and some decision arrived
at as to the best method of developing the
Gil, if any, that should be found in the well
So far, however, there is not enough oil to
warrant their rigging it up even for a
pumper, but with deeper drilling it may be
brought up to respectable producer.
There was another we'll opened in this
field yesterday which may lead to more de-
velopments. 1t is the Ruppel Oil Com
day afternoon, when 10 or Is feet in the
sand, they struck pay streak, and in few
moments the hole filled up several hundred
feet with crude petroleum. The owners be-
lieve they will get good producer and they
intend to drill it deeper into the sand this
week.
Operators who are interested in northeast
McCurdy claim that there is an egg-shaped
pool in that locality which they expect to
open up before the end of the year.
