GORDON WELL In ADVANCE.
W. p. REND'S TEST ON THE j. d. sAU-
TIERS DOING 144 BAERELS.

TIERS DOING IA BARRELS.
Several of the Old Wells Increase Their
Production Lubricating Oil in the
Morsvia Wildcat-The Crescent PIPE
Line Meeting With Unexpected obsta-
cles.
Something of surprise was occasioned
among the Mcdonald operators last even
ing when the report reached Pittsburg that
W. P. Rends well on the J. d. Sauters farm
was making six barrels an hour from the
Gordon sand.
1t is located about two miles south and
west of Mcdonald, and is mile south OF the
big Gordon wells, on the w. Is. Moorneao
farm 1t was started several months ago,
but so strong q pressure OF gas was ue-
veloped in the 50-foot sand that the con-
tractor was unable to get the tools to the
bottom of the hole.
They were forced to shut it down anG wait
until the pressure of gas had been partially
exhausted. Not until within the last 10 days
did the pressure go down enough to allow
them to drill 1t is expected that an IN
crease in the production will be obtained
when it is drilled deeper into the sand.
There is n large tract of undeveloped terri
tory around it which will probably be
drilled over within the next two months.
This was the only new well reported in the
field yesterday.
The production remained stationary. One
well, that of Greenlee & Forst's No. Ma
tional Coal Company, WAS dropped from the
list of those making 20 barrels an hour.
The Peoples Gas Comnany's No: rs,
on the McMurrav farm. back of 0akdale,
increased from IS TO so barrels an hour,
and the Meise well of Lynch, Buchheh Co.
went from 40 to so an hour. Brown, Walker
& Co.'s No. Wilkinson is reported in the
guages to have increased from 25 to 40 an
hour, and yesterday afternoon parties who
visited the well claimed that it was making
so an hour.
Near the Fifth in Several Wells.
The Forest Oil Company expects to get
into the fifth sand to-day at No. l John
Scott Their No. l Nancy Scott is due the
first of next week and will be closely fol-
lowed by Jane Stewart No. and Jane Nc
Gill No. G. The above are all back OF Oak
dale. They intend to plug their dry fifth
sand on the Campbell farm, below the 100
foot and pump it from that sand. No2 sam
Sturgeon is due in the fifth next week.
Greenlee & Forst's No 2 McMurray was in
the Gordon last night. Gardiner Il Co. are
in the 10Ofoot at No. 2, on the Kennedy farm,
north of Oakdale. The Forest Oil Company
will shoot its Gregg farm wildcat Monday.
WEST VIEw-Bowman & Co. have drilled
their old WELL on the Schiede farm, to a
depth of 3 200 feet without finding oil or gas,
1t will be abandoned at $3.50 feet.
The Philadelphia Company is through the
fourth sand on the Thomas Fairly farm. and
1900 feet on the Morganstein farm.
MANNINGToN, W V.-Two wells have
recently been completed at Fairview, II
miles northeast OF this place. Graham,
pany's No. 3 Brown is good for 20 barrels
day, and the South Penn Oil Company's No.
s Iost is making 100 barrels day. The
South Penn is down 1900 feet in a well on
the McMichael farm, two miles south of Fair
view, which it is drilling for gas. This COM
pany has Il strings of tools running in the
vicinity of Fairylew.
1t Is Lubricating Oil.
New CAsrLE-Greenlee & Forst's we'll on
the Newell Bros. farm at Moravia, three
miles south of this city, is good for ten bar
rels of lubricating oil day. 1t was struck
at !, 800 feet There is water i'll the hole and
it will be cased and tubed at once Big prices
are being asked for leases in the vicinity.
Other wells have been located and the same
firm is starting another test well at Home
wood in the northern part of Beaver county.
MCkEEsPoRT-The Crescent Pipe Line is
meeting with uneXpected obstacles in this
region. Theodore Wood. agent for Browns
coal plant at Salisbury. made an information
before Alderman Skelly yesterday against
the pipe line men, charging them with tres
pany's property. The Crescent people claim
they have an agreement with the Browns to
pay 80 cents a rod for the privilege of LAYING
the pipe on their land. This is denied by
Mr. Wood. A. W. Wood, ,'of Versailles town
ship, has asked the court to restrain the
pipe line people from coming on his resi-
dence property. Theodore Wood has sent
gang of men to tear up the line on the
Brown coal property.
