Two Dry Holes-Field Notes.
Word was received from Sistersville
last evening that the Henry Oil Com
pany's No. 4 Dye, drilled in Tuesday,
had been drilled in one screw deeper
into the sand and had increased its pro-
ducdon from 20 barrels an hour to 100
barrels an hour. This we'll is located
TO the northwest of the big wells on the
Deist farm and and is considerably
ahead OF developments. II makes al
most all of The territory between it and
the Deist wells look gilt edged and
would lead one 10 believe that the larg-
est wells in that field are yet TO be
drilled and they are TO the northwest OF
the Deist Pool. The report of the in
crease in the production of this we'll
caused intense excitement in oil circles
last night. The we'll is now doing in
the neighborhOod OF $500 barrels a day
and al The present price OF oil is max
ing its owners about s., 900 a day.
The Deep Run Oil COmpany's we'll on
the Stacey farm in the old SistersYille
field is also reported TO have increased
yesterday from 100 barrels a day TO 125
barrels and it is expected 10 do even
better than that when completely drill
ed in.
The report was sent out Tues
day night that the Associated Pro-
ducers' No. 10 on the DeiSt
farm was in and that it
would make about a 800 barrel pro-
Queer. The report was incorrect The
we'll was not drilled in until yesterday,
| and last evening at 500 screws in the
sand was a rank buster.
The Eastern Oil Company's well on
the Wright farm, drilled in several days
ago, will make about $50 barrels a day.
The we'll was reported yesterday by a
Sistersville sheet which hasa reputation
for inaccuracy, TO be making 500 barrels
a day. As is invariably the case that
paper was wrong.
Roe & Co.'S No. on the Eikelberry
farm was drilled in yesterday afternoon
and is reported 10 be a very small pro-
Queer.
The Mountain State Gas Company's
No. on the John Baker farm out in the
heener district on Middle Island was
drilled in yesterday and was dry at 20
feet in the sand
The Henry Oil Company have aban-
dOned their Nos. I and 2 on the Buch-
anan farm to the north of the Deist
pool and have commenced to pull the
casing.
The Associated Producers No. Il. on
the Deist farm, over in Monroe county.
will be due in the sand some time to-
day
Yesterday morning the Philadelphia
Gas Company started TO drill in their
No. on the Williamson farm, out in
the Middle Island district, and after
the tools had been run about half an
hour heavy flow CT gas was struck
and the tools blown out Of the hole
Last night the well was spraying con-
siderable oil.
briggs & Co.'S No. l, on the Eikel-
berry 15-acre tract, will be due this
afternoon if they do not have any bad
luck.
The well being drilled on the Barkus
farm, over near the Dog Skin pool, has
been abandoned and a new hole will
be started.
The receipts of the Eureka Pipe Line
Company in the Sistersville field yes
terday were S.716 barrels, and those Of
the Mellon lines were 5,672 barrels

terday were 1883 barrels.
The South Penn Oil Company have
abandoned the first hole started on the
A. G. Calvert farm, out near Lynn
Camp, in Wetzel county, and are now
moving the rig and will start a new hole
in a few days.
The Carr Bros well. on the Palmer
farm, on Long Run, in Wetzel county,
which was delayed about two months
with a bad fishing job, was due yester-
day, but up to late hour nothing had
been heard from it. This well will
virtually condemn all the territory out
in that section if it comes in dry, as
all the wells drilled out there with the
exception Of one have been virtually
dry. and the producing well is only
making about eight barrels a day.
There will be several wells due in
the Waverly field to-day or tomorrow.
They are all important and are being
watched very closely.
The Kurtz we'll being drilled on the
Andrews farm near Richmond, Jeffer-
son County. Ohio. by PiJtsburg opera
tors was drilled in yesterday and is a
buster.
