terest in the Richie county oil field has
been conferred on Whisky run for the
past week The we'll owned by G. Fl.
Nesbitt q Co., on the Stricken farm,
has been expected in for four or five
days, but only got the first pay sand
Saturday morning. The well filled up
$50 feet with oil when one bit in the
first pay streak, and was bailed out and
preparations were being made to drill
in through the other two pays that are
known to exist. when the cable parted
Yesterday, causing shutdown until to-
day. Mr. Nesbitt has gone to Sisters
Vile to secure tankage and it is general
ly conceded that the we'll is good for
20 barrels in the first pay when shot,
and if the next pay is similar TO that III
the Hamilton well it will be 80 barrel
producer. Pittsburg papers reported
this well in last week, and good for
seven barrels.
The Nesbitt we'll was an important
test for operators, as had it come in dry
it would have given the Whisky run
territory a very black eye.
The rig on the Mckinney farm, on
Blacks run. will be completed this
week. and drilling will begin as soon
as the machinery arrives.
The rig irons for the well on the w.
H. Hamilton farm. near Highland, ar
rived to-day. and the rig will be fin
ished this week. This is the well be-
ing drilled by Scott, Howell & Co., OF

The Kanawha Oil Co. has leasers
taking ND territory on Dog Comfort
run which is located a mile or two west
of Whisky run, and is the territory
mentioned as possibly valuable some
time ago.
The plum run well was shot for the
second time last week. but still refuses
to be anything but dry hole, the small
quantity of oil found in the salt sand
being all the oil the we'll will produce
Much was expected of this well, ana us
owners are doubtless disappointed.
Colonel BILLY" Grat am, who is drill
ing the we'll on the Copenhaver farm,
ON the head of French creek. that was
commenced last May. and has had all
sorts of bad luck, is getting along nicely
now. drilling in the third hole since
the location was made. He hopes to
finish the we'll in ten days, lie mas
great faith in the territory lying north
west of Whisky run Colonel Graham
also owns fifteen-sixteenths interest in
the we'll being drilled on DR.. VIM. Ry-
rer's farm, near Harrisville, which Is
expected in early this week.

gained company composed of residents
of Belpre.
1t is now reported here that the
Christmeyer well, which came in Sum

showing of oil in the sand which was
supposed to be the Cow Run sand, and
that the drill will be sent deeper, as the

the Big Injun.
The We'll of c. b. Fulton & Co., on tho
Ed Smith farm, in the Waverly field,
