Mouroa county. with ia succession Of

wonder OF all those who keep in touch
with field developments, says sd. 5,
W." in his weekly review Of tho south
west fields, The richness OF the DsiSt
pool has boon the greatest surprise
siuca the SIs,srsvile tiB,d wAl ~ its
best 4 half dozen new GushOrs were
added to that end OF the field last wSsk,
and for the same number OF acres en-
hraced there is not another field in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia or Ohio
that il, ut this time producing as much
oil as tho FreldGn and DGisE pools,
In the two pools therH are 30 pro.
ducinr wells and their daily output 10
close to 1000 barrels, making the aver
ago more than 80 barrels = day TO the
we'll. The extension OF the field has
not been in proportion to the increase
in production aS comparatively little
new territory has been added to either
OF tho two pools. in fact the effort to
extend the Freiien end Of the pool has
proven q dismat failure.
Dry holes completed on the Eddy
farm to the east and south Of tho Lohrie
Rushers, and on tho Hawthorn farm to
the southeast, swells the duster list to
such proportions (soveu in NtH that it
will require Srea! nerve to continue on
that line.
A slight extension 10 the wsIt OF the
Deist pool on the Dye farm was the only
feature aside from tho big wells COM

Amos farm, mile TO the west. hoists
the danger signal in that direction
South the small pumper on the Carson
farm holds out but little inducement TO
continue the search in that direction.
North and due northwest are the two
remaining directions for au extension
TO the Deist pool, and the we'll now
drilling on the buchanan farm IL q very
important test located thres.Q quarters OF
q milo northwest.
As to the future Of tho two pools, the
drill alone eau furnish the sequel, But
to Judge from what 1t has developed in
the search for extension, 1t will require
a stretch o! tho Imagination to form the
conclusion that the production OF the
two pools will 90 higher than the figures
previously presented. The possibility
OF a new and distinct pool is contin.
