The "Now OIL City" out in Ohio, In
the centre OF the district that has the

Tho sIStsrsVille Oil Review slEeS up
the present situation az follows:
Although 90 many wells were COM
pleted Last month, and 90 many others
have been started, thore has boon no
new Geld discovered, RRd the talk In oil
circles Is all about the big finds In the
Friden we'll district. Most Of tho de.
yelopmentS have been in and around
oil pools. wherO drilling was done in
hopes Of finding small wells which
would pay 4 handsome revenue at tho
price oil was a month ago. This field
has been very active, caused by tho
atrlkcs on eancho, Middle leland and
Frieden. II 10 generally believed that
the Freeland No. . actually flowed the
other day when tho cap was taken oil,
and Il Is also thought this territory 10
being suppressed tor tho purpose Of
buying up the leases around out that
way and to ireoze out the Standards
partner.
tits thought now that tho famous
Dye.Brooka we'll is what 10 known In oil
circles as q ''troak." That Is. 1t is a
good big we'll. with very small pool OF
oil under it as to length and width, and
good for only one or two wells. Tho oil
in this we'll Is said to DO different from
any ever found either in West Virginia
or Pennsylvania. II has been tested
and shows ilG gravity to DO 50, an entire.
~ new oil. Its color Is also different
and as tho wells 10 very near to II arc
dry II 10 now thought to DO irOak cor
tain and sure. On the other hand, pro-
ducors argue that the two wells that
have come in only show that tho pool
don't 90 In that direction, and hope,
that like tho Frioden field, when tho
right lead is struck, ane wells will come
In. The DyO-BrookS territory certainly
does not look very encouraging yet, but
thoae who have started wells arc going
TO complete them aud are living Ia
hopes that in them they will strike the
pool.
Tho Connolly Bros. arc drilling in the
ueighborhood Of Next poStoilicO on the
Archer land. These gentlemen arc 60

The U. ". Smith and Brockunier wells
in the interior arc both small producers.
Il may be these wells are the starting
points Tor the finding Of big pool Of
oil that IL generally believed to DO in
existence in the interior OF this county.
Most all producers agree that whore

Big MoSOs, A. Smith and other wells in
the interior OF the county, there Is a
big pool Of oil, and that IL why 90 many
wells are being drilled in the county
