another good well was drilled IN over
in the Dog Skin district yesterday
morning, and from the reports received
last night it is as good if not better
than the most Of the wells already
drilled in that section. The well drill
ed in yesterday morning was the Asao-
ciated Producers No. 2 on the Deist
farm. The well reached the sand early
in the morning and made an excellent
showing with the drill only q few
inches in the sand. This well is lOca-
ted about 500 feet south Of the same
company's No. / on this farm and
thcugh' it is now showing up for about
$50 barrels a day, it is of very little i'm
portance to any one except those who
have an interest in it for the reason
that it does not open up any new terri
tory.

The recent report that the Mellon
Pipe Line Co. had sold out to The Stand
ard is a myth. What probably gave
rise to the report was that a short time
ago the Mellon Co. sold out their pro-

i'm the Waverly field, several years ago
by McCool. Mumee and others, and
which was abandoned after going
