Afternoon,
In the Vicinity of the Frieden We'll
i'll the Sistersville Field - Will
Make a 800 Barrel Producer
Other Field News.

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
the well being drilled by Culbertson <
Co.. on the Widow Lohri farm, in the
Dog Skin district, about 400 feet south
west of the Frieden we'll, reached the
sand and is a good well. All the rest
of the evening the well flowed over the
top of the derrick about every eight
minutes. and it is estimated that IL VIII
make 300-barrel producer. In addi-
ton TO this the Ramey & Co. we'll on the
Hillman lot, nearby, made a nice flow
and is showing for a fity-barrel well,
and only about 20 feet in the sand
This well was rugged up yesterday for
pumping, but before the pump was
started it made the flow. The action OF
these two wells yesterday has put the
operators in that section in much bet-
ter spirits and it is possible that there
win yet be Il nice field developed in
that section.
The Southwest seems to be the only
outlet for a field in that section now.
The Norris well in the north about a
mile, which was drilled in last week,
was as dry as a bone, as was also the
Rinehart on the west Then came the
RAINY & Co. well on the south. which,
when il was first drilled in, made such
a poor showing, but which as mentioned
above, made a nice flow yesterday ar
ternoon and will now make a fair pro-
ducer.
The coming in of the Culbertson well
at this time and such good producer,
will stimulate operations in that section
to a wonderful degree. 1t was the in
tention of some of the producers oper-
ating in that district to shut their wells
down, but since this well has turned
out such a good producer operations
will be continued and within the next
ten or fifteen days there will be a largo
number of wells drilling in that section
The Alpha Oil Co.'S Nippert No. l,
in Wetzel county, on Broad Run, was
drilled into the first pay yesterday af-
ternoon, but up to a late hour last night
it was not showing any indications for
a paying producer.
The receipts Of the pipe line COM
panies in the Sistersville field yester-
day were 1863 barrels. The receipts
of the Mellon lines were 5.4S7 barrels,
and of the Eureka lines 1886 barrels.
The we'll being drilled by the Asso-
ciated Producers Company on the Dist
farm. in the vicinity of the Frieden
well will be due in the pay sand Tues
day
The Kanawha Oil COmpany's well
on the Lohri, a short distance west OF
the Frieden well which was due yester-
day afternoon, was drilled 20 feet into
the sand and was making an excellent
showing for a dry hole.
The we'll being drilled on the Widow
Lohri's farm by Moses. Ernst & Co.,
! will be due in the sand about Tuesday.
This well is located about half mile
from the Frieden well on the property
adjoining the Alexander Mills lot.
The drilling at the Gallagher oil well,
in Marshall county, is still progressing,
and it is thought they are now on top
of the Big Injun The work is necs-
sarily slow on account Of the strong tioN
of gas. There is also good indications
for oil. The well will probably be
drilled in this week.
