that the report given out by the owners
that the reason the well has not been
shot is because the nitro-glycerine had
not arrived from PitJsburg, is incor-
rect. The nitro-glycerine did arrive
and has been secreted on an adjoining
farm some days. The scouts in the
vicinity of the well have been on the
alert night and day, and so far there
has been no chance to shoot the we'll
without them knowing it. 1t is fact,
not generally known, that the owners
have driven out to the we'll on several
different nights, and it is supposed they
went for the purpose of shooting the
well, but on account of the scouts being
around, it was not done.

There is still considerable work be-
ing done in the various fields, as a
glance at the above table will show.
The majority of the work seems to be
in the Warrington field, where there
are 36 new rigs up and 81 wells drill
ing, making a total of 143 wells on
which work is being done in that field
alone.
In the Sistersville field there are SO
wells drilling and 63 new rigs up, to-
tai OF 116 wells under way, while in
the miscellaneous districts there are 20
wells drilling and 10 new rigs up. This
is a fair showing for the month, but it
is not up to the record of the amount of
work going on at the same time last
year. OF course, last year the work
was scattered more in different parts of.
the State than it is this year, and there
fore was not so noticeable.
Oil developments in the Wood county
field are Frightening up considerably
and a very important strike was made
in the Williamstown oil field yesterday
on the Rundell farm by Daniel Riley.
The well is down to the Big Kate
sand and is said to be good for over 100
barrels a day. This well extends the
Willamstown field over a mile and has
encouraged operations very much.
A well will be drilled about one mile
due east Of Parkersburg soon, near
Lubbock, and will open up an entire new
field.
The we'll on the Uhl farm, near Will
iamstown, owned by Parkersburg par
ties. was drilled in yesterday and is
said to be a good producer.
The Panhandle Oil Co., of Wheeling,
are making arrangements for the drill
ing of a we'll on the lease on the Ha-
thorn farm. on the Ohio side Of the Sis1
tersville field.
A telegram was received in this city
Yesterday by the parties most interest
ed in the Roseleif we'll on the Ohio side
in the Sistersville field, from Sisters
VILE parties. stating that they would
give 500 900 for the well. The parties
owning the well refused to sell out at
that figure. and they think they will
he able to get considerable more money
for the lease in a short time.
Work in the Sistersville field in the
vicinity of the Freiden well is very
Orisk at present and there are about %
wells drilling and rigs going up. Sew
eraI of the wells in that vicinity will be
