Parkersburg, w. Va, July 27.-Si-
mon Rose, VINO owns 75-acre tract OF
land near the South Fork Oil Compa-
ny's well at Manganese this county, has
refused $3.50 for lease on the land.
1t is said that Barnsdall struck a dry
hole in the well one mile east Of Og-
din, on the 1ngraham farm.
The oil fields, especially where wells
were drilling on the creeks, suffered
badly from the recent floods.
Late developments in the Ogdin field
lead operators TO believe that the pay
streak extends northward. Several
wells that have recently been drilled in
bear out this theory, the latest being
the Union Oil Company's venture on the
Noah Ogdin farm. This well was drill
ed into the Berea on Saturday and i'm
medistely filed up with 700 feet of oil.
Work was suspended for the purpose Of
pulling the casing. and while engaged
at that the derricks collapsed and it will
be several days before the damage can
he repaired. All operators predict that
it will be one of the best wells in the
field when cleaned out. Il is about
three-quarters of a mile north of Lewis
Ogdin No. I, and will stimulate opera
tions in, that direction
