paying Well The above don't look
mucl as though the Waverly field was
no good There are several wells due
m that territory the coming week. and
as they are mostly in the same neigh

they are expected to be good ones.
The banner field of not only the State
but also OF the world is Sistersville
There was not a great deal the early
part Of the week. but the last three
days made up for all their predecessors
had failed to do There was nothing
but dry hole to report from this field
until Thursday. The dry hole reported
was an important test well drilled
by Henderson on the blacksmith lot to
the north OF the Deist pool This well
was important for the reason that on
10 depended the extent of the pool in
that direction. On Thursday morning
the Associated Producers No. {. on the
Deist farm, was drilled in, and il is
without a doubt the largest we'll ever
drilled in the Sistersville field IL
s,drted OF at about 40 barrels an hour
and steadily increased until it reached
about 100 barrels an hour. The latter
sair ii only kept up for q very short
Time. but it kept up TO above 70 bar
lels until Saturday. when IL fell OIL to
about 90 barrels an hour.

and started of at five barrels an hour.
This well is only a short distance from

probably be rs good as fl is.
The West Virginia side of the Sis
terSville field has presented absolutely
nothing for the past ten dnvs. but
within the next few DAYS. however. q
well OF more than ordinary importance
is expected in. II is the Franks we'll
on Sheets run. and il is reported 10 be
due Tuesday or Wednesday. The lOca,
ton of this well is on the line between
Peasants and Tyler counties. south of
the famous Dye-BrOOks pool. What IL
will amount to is matter of coniec-
ture. A great many Of the oil men are
of the opinion that il will be good.
Should It come in a producer. it will
open mp block OF territory miles in
extent.
Peasants county oil territory showed
during the week with O couple of
small wells. and one dry hole was re-
ported.
The production of the Sistersville
field is again going back to where il
once was. and within the next thirty
DAYS there is not the least doubt but
that it will be near the 10000 mark. if
not above e. The big wells over on the
Ohio side are what makes the produc-
ton so much larger. and the last wells
drilled in Will send il Bp higher than
flo has been for a long time
The coming week in the Sistersvine
field viii be important for the reason
that there are q number of test wells
due that viii materially change the
complexion of things no matter how
they come in.
