received for their work an interest in
the well. They have struck il rich,
and they intend to buy up some leases
over there and prospect a little them
selves.
Treat & Crowford also have been very
lucky, having a large production al
ready and hold some very valuable
leases, which will be drilled into at
once. The Henry and Fisher oil COM
panies have production on the Wood
Price. Holtscaw and Cehrs farms. The
Henry people are drilling on the north
ern portion of the Holtsclaw farm,
the Fisher Oil Company is drilling on
the T. Woods farm, and o. B. Ramey
q Co. are about due with their well on
the lower portion of the Stadler farm,
as is shown on the sketch by .. The
last well which came in yesterday on
the Mcfarland farm is nearly a mile
northeast of any other wells, and opens
up a large block of territory. This well
and the one due of Ramey q Co., on
the Stalder farm, have been watched
very closely, and if the Stalder well
comes in with any showing at all the
pool, which is only an extension Of the
Deist pool, will be largely extended,
and will start large amount OF work
between and ahead of wells now pro-
ducing OIL An old operator OF this
field states that this is the largest pool
he ever heard Of 1t is now giving a
daily production of nearly 1900 bar
rels
Some we'll known MOundsville peO-
pie have leased the Daugherty Bros.
and the NJ Farnsworth farms, near
Woodsfeld, and will drill a hole to the
shallow sand at once.
Late news from this counties wells
out near Hebron and Wick, is to the
effect that o. B. Ramey & Co.'S well,
on the O'Dell farm, is making by actual
gauge 200 barrels daily.
Treat & Crawford's big well on the
Clutter farm. is making 24O barrels.
This well was quite a sensation, owing
to its remote location from other de-
velopment. and was the means of in
yigOrating new work. HebrOns daily
production is about 1,600 barrels, and
if a large strike or two is made she
will out-distance BenwoOd yet. A
large amount of work is going on near
the county line at present, and it will
only be a few days now until large
tract will be condemned or pronounced
good.
Murphy. Jennings & Co. have 40
barrel well at their No. 6 location on
the Hardman tract.
7. A. Brenneman has made loca-
tion and erected a rig on the Marshall
farm. in the Sancho field, and will COM
mence spudding Monday.
The Carter Oil Company is getting
about 500 barrels a day from their
Observation-Disclosures well, out near
Hebron. and about 90 barrels from their
NJ /. Corbly well. on Middle Island.
This corporation has undoubtedly
been the most successful operators in
the field. There seems to be an un-
known instinct guiding their locations,
as some of them look to reasonable
minded persons the work of folly. They
locate some very rank wildcatters' and
twice out of every three are largely
successful That they have done more
