be abandoned. In the well which has
been abandoned the tools were hope
lessly lost. and after fishing for them
for several weeks, the company finally
got disguised and gave it up. In the
other we'll the bit is still stuck, and
although an attempt was made to dis
lodge it by shooting, it has not yet
been gotten out. The Wiley & Slender
well, in this district, has been having
good luck and it will probably be in in
a short time.
The Wood county territory has not
been showing up very well of late and
the operators in that section are re-
ported to be slightly disguised. There
have been a number Of dry holes drill
led in that section recently, and as is
always the case, the operators have be-
come very weary and some OF them
have shut down drilling wells. In the
Waverly territory one or two fine wells
were drilled in the Cow Run sand, but
the increased production will not
amount to more than $50 barrels q
day.
There is considerable work going on
in the shallow sand territory in the
territory east OF St Mary's. in Pleas
ants county. During the week just
past two or three dry holes were drilled
in this territory, but to Offset this a
couple OF small producing wells were
drilled in, and 50 far the operators have
not become disguised with the stuff
in that section. Below ST. Mary's
n hct,t +h-oo ,,f1.- -, +lo XTTact Virginia
side, opposite Newport, 2 good we'll was
drilled II about the middle of the week,
and il is reported TO be doing in the
neighborhoOd Of 60 barrels a day. There
are several wells being drilled in that
section. one or TWO of which ought to
be due the coming week.
Last but not least, in more ways than
one. comes the Sistersville field and its
outlaying pools. In the Sistersville
field proper there was but one well OF
any size came in, and that one was on
the Tuel farm. II was drilled in Fri
day. and is reported TO be making about
100 barrels q day. Several small wells
of practically no importance were
brought in. The Twin Pools" Dog
Skin and Dye Brooks, were not very
much in evidence. except when IL came
TO dry holes, until the latter part of the
week. and then it was the Dog Skin ter
ritory that loomed up and made the
horizon, which has been very cloudy OF
late. look much brighter
The Dye-BroOks territory did not
show up with anything during the
week. The most interesting news that
came from that section was that the
production OF the famous Dye-Brook:
wells was falling off very rapidly and
, at the present time these two wells, that
each came in st over 500 barrels a day
were now doing but about 400 barrels
between them.
The Dog Skin stuff showed UP the
early part of the week and until Friday
with nothing but dry holes. On Friday
il apparently became ashamed of iiF,lf
and when the Lewis Oil Company drill
ed in their No. 5, or the Lewis farm, il
started off at about - barrels. and a:
it was drilled deeper the production in

about 35 barrels an hour. Saturday The
! good work kept up. and the Associated

started out TO make 4 record and be-
fore Sunday morning was doing about
20 barrels an hour. These two well:
do rot open up any new territory, but
even at that their coming in good pro
ducers makes the operators feel better
