port reached the city to-day that 175-
Darrell we'll had been drilled in on the
Ogden farm in the Waverly field. This
report has been verified but who the
lucky ones are cannot be ascertained.
A great deal of excitement was mani
tested by some Sistersville people who
hold leases in that neighborhood.
Brumell & Work are busy casing
their well, which came in Sunday in the
ST. Mary's field, building the necessary
tankage, etc. Franchet Bros are cas-
ing their we'll in the same field. The
exact number OF barrels which these
two wells will flow is estimated at 80
barrels per day each.

joints of line pipe on the Pitts farm, in
the Indian creek district, 10 take care
of his wells.

a well three miles from New Martins
vile, on Coal run, small stream which
empties into Dulin creek.

in Wetzel county, which was reported as
good for so barrels, has dwindled down
to steady flow, averaging so barrels.
This is its average output. The well
some days will flow 80 barrels and 9TH
ers less. averaging as above. This is
due TO the gas which forces the fluid
out. which some days is stronger than
others. This is something new for this
field as no gas has been encountered
before.

this tract about 500 feet from Cook No.
