TIE POOL EXTENDED.
Another Well On the Dye Farm in
the DeiSt Territory,
Extends That Pool a Matter Of
About a Thousand Feet to the
West-Another Good Well on the
Deist Farm - Unusually Large
Receipts of the Sistersville Field
Yesterday-Field News.

Night before last and yesterday saw
two more good wells drilled in over in
Monroe county, in the Deist territory.
The first we'll in was the Henry Oil
Company's No. (, on the Dye farm.
This well was drilled in Monday night
and started off at a 4O-barrel an hour
gait, which it kept up all day yester-
day. This well is located about l 600
feet west Of the Associated Producers
No. Deist, out front, and vii open up,
or, rather, extend the field that much.
The other good well in was the AS
ISOLATED Producers No. 10 on the Deist
farm. This well reached the sand Mon
day night and was drilled in yesterday
morning. 1t was reported making
about 500 barrels a day. 1t is in the
Magic Circle" and does not extend
the field or open up any new territory.
II was thought that the dry holes
drilled in some time ago 10 the west Of
the Deist wells had clearly defined the
pool on that side, but the coming in Of
the Dye we'll with such an elegant pro-
ducer goes to show how spotted the ter
ritory in that section is. A prominent
oil man said yesterday that he would
not care TO say when it would not be
possible TO find oil around through this
section, for the reason that territory
which heretofore has been thought con-
demned and which was drilled later
has come in good.
The receipts of the pipe line compa-
MES in the Sistersville field yesterday
we're larger than they have been for
some time. The receipts of the Eureka
Pipe Line Company were 1885 barrels
and those Of the Mellon lines Z ,4s3 bar
rels. The total receipts of the pipe
lines yesterday were 70, 46S barrels
The Philadelphia Gas Company's No.
2 Williamson was on top Of the sand
last night and showing for as good q
well as No. 1, which has been making
Is barrels a day ever since it was drill
ed in.
Monday Ramey & Co. made twelve
new locations on the Weigle farm.
Work has already been commenced on
two of the rigs and the timber for the
others is being placed on the ground.
McFadden & Co. S No. l on the
Blauirfar outin the Middle Island ter
ritory, a very important wildcat, will
be due in the sand about Saturday. It
is southwest of the Dye-Broks wells,
and almost directly east Of the Kama
wha Oil Company's we'll on the Will
hanson. Should this we'll come in a
producer it will show an outlet in that
direction from the big Dye-Brooks
wells.
Ramey & Co.'S well on the Weigle
farm, drilled in Friday morning, is still
holding up TO about 100 barrels a day.
It is reported on reliable authority
that the big wells in the Frieden pool
have all fallen off at a remarkably
rapid rate recently, and that there is
not a we'll in that section now that is
doing 100 barrels a day.
Work was resumed to-day on Gaffny
& Co.'S No. 3 on the Mckay farm in
the Keener territory, out in the Middle
Island district. This we'll was shut
down last week until a new boiler
could be set up.
The Mountain State Gas Company's
well on the Baker farm, out on Middle
Island, which was reported due yes
terday, has been delayed and will not
reach the sand before this evening or
tomorrow.
