field kept up its usual record for the
latter part of the week yesterday, and
two wells of more than ordinary im-
pOrtance were drilled in. The first well
in was Caldwell & Boyer's No. / Eikel-
berry. The we'll was drilled in early
in the morning and started off at 20
barrels an hour, which gait Il kept up
all day. The other well was Ramey &
Co.'S No. ] Deist. which reached the
sand in the forenoon and filled to the
top with water and oil. The well was
shut in until tGnkage could be erected
and the boiler moved back. There is
every reason to believe this we'll win
make a good producer as it is close
TO the big wells drilled in the Deist
farm by the Associated Producers Com
pany.
Crawford & Treats we'll on the Eli
kelberry farm viii be due in the sand
