THERE IS NO CONNECTION

Between the Deist and Dog Skin Pools and
the Old Sistersviue Pool, is the General
Opinion of the oil Men-There is a De-
cided Difference in the Wells in the Pools.
General OuNews.
The indications now are that the
Deist and Dog Skin Pools are going
to the west, all the good wells being
drilled in in that section now are N
that direction. II will be known in
about ten days what there is in that
direction. The Henry Oil Company
have two wells on the Dye farm which
will be in within that time, and as they
are directly west of all the big wells
and considerably ahead of developments
they are very important The south
west still looks pretty good and there
may be some good wells found In that
direction. All other sides Of the pools
have been shut off by dry holes.
There was considerable talk at one
time about the Deist and Dog Skin pools
merging into what is known as the Sis
tersville pool proper, but the general
opinion now is that such thing is i'm
possible. for the reason that the wells
drilled in the TWO former pools are en-
tirely different from those in the Sis
tersville Dool. In the old pool all the
good wells were hampered by flow OF
water and those in which no water was
found we're of little or no good and OF
shCrs duration. while in the new pools
the wells that have water are very poor
and ali the big gushers are entirely free
of Natures sparkling beverage.
And another thing is the different
Hepths at which the sand is found in the
two sections. In the old Sistersville
pool the sand was found at about 1900
feet. while in the Deist and F'rieden
pools it IS found at from $50 TO $50 feet
higher. In the Keener sand in the old
territory little or no water was found
while in the new pools about all the
water is gotten in that sand.
In some of the wells in the Deist pool
there was considerable water found
notably in the Twitchell & Co. we'll, on
the Carson farm, and the Carter Oil
Co.'S well, on the He'll farm. Both Of
these wells were very small producers
when drilled in and at the present time
they are doing practically nothing. This
goes to show the fallacy Of the above.
There is very little news to chronicle
from the Sistersville field to-day, and
there Will not be much of consequence
this week All the wells drilling over
there with the exception of one OF two
will not be IN for about ten days or two
weeks.
The first well due this week is the
Associated Producers No. 10, on the
Deist farm. This we'll was due in the
sand last Sunday, but it was delayed
and now will probably come in to-day.
The Kanawha Oil Co. s well on the
Carte farm, an important WELL is also
due tomorrow.
The Wiley & Slender we'll on the
Rothlesberger farm. out on Long run,
in Wetzel county, which came in dry
last week. will be drilled entirely
through the Big Injun sand, and if
nothing is found will probably be drill
ed to the Gordon.
