The events in oil circles dur
ing the week were few and Of
very little importance IN any Of tho
OF this State. principally fol-
the reason that there were very
few wells drilled in. and again for She
reason that those drilled IN did nof
amount 10 much. The first and Drinci-
pal event and the one that attracted the
most attention was the drilling by Craw-
ford & Treat OF their NJ. > Elkeiberry
TINS well was drilled in Monday nigh'
and started OF al about 50 barrels an
hour. but has since settled down to 90
an hour. a. which point IL is holding UP
nicely. This well does not open up any
ching important. as it apparently in the
e.rcle made by the other Big wells drill
ed IN that territory
The next well in Oh that side and one
that was considered an important Wild
cat was The Panhandle Oil Company
Well on the Hathorae farm II was

get a show of oil. There Is good flow
Of sal- water from the well and iC IS r--

dsy. IL was reported ~ the Register

On -ha West Virginia side of The Sis

An event OF the weak that cast quito
q shadow over considerable terri-ory
was the DRILLING in of 1870 important
test wells ON Long rum. iu Wetzel c0lu-
-. The first wen D was Wiley G
SJenders on The horLiesberg-r farm.
Ii was drill ed SD feet iu the sand and
did MOI have more than a SHOW oil oil.
This wei IS about q mile southwest Of
the Alpha on COmpany's well on the
hocher farm, drilled iu last winter and
which made a showing for O. good pr0-
Queer and is scill making about ten
barrels q day. The other wei was Gill
lespie Bros. on the kirkland farm.
This Wei IS about TWO miles from the
kOcher we'll, and is Q rank buster. The
coming In dry of these two wells has
given that TERRITORY q very black eve,
but even at that the Alpha Oil Com
pany. which has large block Of terri
Tory there and three wells I'm various
stages OF completion. intend 20 finish
them. 1t Is also reported that two 9TH
cr companies which have territory
there and have wells started viii
finish them.
The other sections Of the State show
ed no with practically nothing during
the week with the exception Of Pleas
ants county. Or Broad run. about a
mile east Of St Mary's. nice well was
drilled in on the Core farm by @ local
company.
IN the Doddridge and Warrington
fields. where the South Penn has the
majority of the territory. it is q very
hard matter 20 get news OF any kind.
for the reason that the company viii
not allow anything 10 be given out.
Their reason is to keep other people
from getting in and developing the
territory.
The coming week does not offer o
great deal in any Of the Helds. There
viii be several wells in over in Monroe
county but none of them are very im-
portaut. while in the fields of this State
there is practically nothing.
