Once in a while the West Virginia
side of the sistarsville field viii come
to the from. with a good big we'll. The
most Of the wells brought in recently
on this side Of the river has been in
wla. IS known as the Keener pool, out
on Middle Island creek. The Dye
Brooks territory had not been heard
from Tor a long time until Wednesday
evening. when it came to the front
with what is expected TO make not less
than a 20O-barrel we'll. J. T; Jones &
Cos No. @ On the Dye-Brooks farm
was drilled into the sand Tuesday even
ing. but when shut down TO move the
boiler. was only showing up for about
fifty barrels a day. This was not much
of disappointment, as everything to
the Dye-Brooks No. 1, the direction in
which NO 8 was located, had been
punched full of holes which had either
been dry or nearly so. The owners OF
the we'll concluded that they would
drill it deeper just for luck, and it IS
q good thing they did, for when the
drill was about 20 feet In the sand the
production Of the well began to in
crease. and la.e Wednesday evening the
well was estimated 10 be making about
200 barrels day. This is very nice
well. and the increased production IS
quite q surprise TO not only the owners,
but also 10 those on the outside, as
everybody was expecting the well to
be dry.
The receipts of the Eureka Pipe Line
Company In This field for the p hours
ending at Z o'clock this morning were

Wiley d. S-ender's well on the Roth
lesbergar farm, out On Long Run, IN
Wctzel county. has been drilled to the
Gordon sand and is dry. 1t will not
be drilled 20 the fifth sand as was the
original intention, but viii be plugged
TO The Berea grit, where a slight show
ing of oil was gotten, and will be shot
The Standard Oil Company's news
papers all say the item published in
the Register a few days ago, as to its
agents having offered the Henry Oil
Company 100000 for its production is
q mistake. They say the Henry Com
pany's production was known TO have
been in the market. but when the price
was named, negotiations stopped ct
once. We are In q position TO say, that
upon reliable information the Henry
Oh Company was offered that price, and
positively refused 20 accept it.
The drouth i'm the oil country. if it
continues. threatens to put a stop to
operations Of every description, and at
the present rate water will soon COM
mand as high a price in the field as Oil
L is estimated that i'm the Deis. and
Frielen pools alone twenty-five wells
are shut down for want OF the necess-
ary water TO run the boilers. The COM
ing monthly report is certain to show
q marked falling off i'm new and COM
pleted work and q decrease in new pro
duction by reason of this scarcity OF
water.
