TOOK A TURN UPWARD
McDonald's Production Went Up
5000 Barrels Yesterday.
GORDON SANDERS RESPONSIBLE.
Oil Found in Wildcat Well s. Miles West
of Sisterville.
NEW WORK STARTING ABoUTCoRAoPOLIs

The Mcdonald field got of the toboggan
yesterday, as predicted, and started back
toward the top of the incline. 1t is very
eccentric in this respect and none can tell
when ii is going to put on the brakes, and
retrace its steps.
The gauges of the pipe line people pub
lished yesterday morning give the esti-
mated production of the field as p, 900, and
to-day it is given as $4,000 a jump Of 8, 900
barrels. This is all due to three wells which
are added to the list of those making 20 bar
rels an hour or more.
They are the Oakdale Oil Company's No. 2
on the Morgan farm, which was shot, and
brought up to IS barrels an hour 1t is an
old well and a fifth sander. Both of the
others are new and are Gordon sanders,
located in the Meise pool. They are the
Forest Oil Company's No. on the Mrs.
Campbell farm, which was increased yester-
day from 80 to so barrels an hour, and the
other is Forst & Greenlee's No. on the
Kirk farm, which is doing 80 barrels an
hour.
The latter is 500 feet southwest of the
Meise and the Campbell we'll is loo feet
north of west, thus showing that good
sized Gordon sand pool exists in that local
conjecture entirely.
Another Showing in the Gordon.
The Forest OIL Company's No. on the
John McEwen farm, located between the
Campbell well and those at Willow Grove,
was four bits in the sand at noon yesterday
and made a flow. As the first pay in this
territory is not usually struck until they
have run seven or eight bits in the sand the
owners did not expect to get the calibre of
the venture until this morning Their No l
on the Robert Wallace farm, in the Meise
district is down 800 feet.
THE Forest Oil COMPANY. ]. NJ Guffey and
Kountz's No. 5 on the j. N. Ewing farm in
the McCurdy end OF the field, may get the
fifth sand to-day.
Lynch & Go. are drilling Nos. and on the
Mefse farm. No. is Still making Is barrels
an hour.
Forst & Greenlee's No. 8 on the Marshall
& Chalfant lease just southwest of Mobiles
town, may be finished up this week.
The Devonian Oil Company's No. 2 Moor
head, southwest of Mcdonald station. has
o The @e Is aood 50
to 90 barrels a day from the fourth sand. 1t
was dry in the Gordon. Their well on the
Mcdonald Bros property is due in the fifth
Nancy kelso farm in lower McCurdy.
The Wheeling Gas Company's No. Rob-
bins, which is good gasser, and about ten
barrels of oil a dav, will be shot this week.
They were five feet in the Gordon sand at
Springer's No. l yesterday afternoon, and it
is making from 100 to LIS barrels a day. They
may not driu it any deeper, as salt water is
liable to be struck in sufficient quantity to
drown out the oil. Their GLADDEN. No. Q and
Gifin No. l. located near Venice, five miles
south of Mcdonald, are tonight due in the
gas sand, which in that country is known as
the 0-foot.
CoRAoPoI1s-The Forest Oil Company is
fishing for the tools on top of the Gordon, in
Clever No. i. They are building a rig on the
Curry, and expect to start three others soon,
one each on the Erhart, Curry and Neeley
farms.

sistersville and Vicinity,
sIsrERsvILLE-There are Sc strings Of tools
running in this field at the present time and
its production is between 1000 and $500
barrels day. Captain Jones said that the I
farm is now making i, 100 barrels Of oil day.
Their well on the Morrison & Mccormick
farm, a mile east of town, is flowing salt
water and gas. but little oil SO far. Fergus
& Co. well, on the Moore farm, four miles
west of south, is still DELAYED by a fishing
job. They dropped the casing. Keil & Co.'s
well, on the Schriever, three miles south of
Sistersyille, is due in the Big 1nJun this
week. Duel & Co. have cased their well on
the foot of Wells Island, and it will be in be-
fore many days.

was drilled by a home company. The oil is
found in the Berea Grit Of G which there are 81
Ger, who visited the well, claims that at the
least calculation it Is good for from Is to 20
barrels a day. No water was found, and
only 300 feet of casing were necessary.
