SIsTERsvILLE, Feb. .2-The contract
has been let to move the rig from Rig
gle well No. Q to the Mason farm, in
the jug, above Mddlebou about a
mile and half.
The latest reports from the Bullmam
well is that it is now making barrels
an hour and gradually getting less
This is not considered very good in
dication and shows but very poor pro-
ducing qualities in the sand.
1t is reported that Gartlan and Hays
are having a rig put up on the DR..
Clark farm on Pursley near Dry Run
and close to Kidwell postofIice and u
short distance west of the Martin well
that was abandoned two or three years
ago. 1t will be an important test we'll.
All the producers are of the opinion
that an oil pool east of town will be
opened up this spring.
In the Broad Run field Mallory Bros.

the Brown No. 3, but are frozen up un-
til thaw comes.
They also have rig up and the ma
chinery on the ground to drill we'll
on the Mary Taylor lease.

Run, which came in last week, is MAX
ing 25 barrels per day in the shallow
sand
Billiards. Job Smith No. is a good
well, and is making quite lot of oil.
Some persons think it is one of the
best wells in the field
Franshot Bros. have rig about COM
pleted on the A. M. Collard lot, to the
pike.
The producing wells on Broad Run
are showing up first rate, and it is
thought there will be some large wells
strnck in this field before it is done

There is said to be show for good
we'll on Alum Cave Run of French
Creek. and we think the report is
probably correct.
The Williamson we'll on r. S. Rey-
nolds' farm is down some two hundred
feet. They have had to remove the
ten inch casing and put in more on
account of striking a lar. g flow of
water.
We are informed that well will be
drilled below town on the Riggs farm
at once. This we'll will be located
about half mile back from the river,
and will test quite lot of territory
which looks good now. A considera BILE
lot of land has been leased on Green's
Run and vicinity to Pittsburg parties,
who viii! give it test.
1t is reported that Braden & Co.
have a nice little well on the Aaron
hickman farm back of Eureka. 1t will
probably make from 25 to so barrels
per day.
The well on the Rodney Reynolds
farm below Cow Creek was due in the
Big lnjun" sand on Thursday, but
we are informed that the cold weather
will hold them back a day or two
longer.
The well on the jackson farm at
Vaucluse is close down to the Berea
sand, and ought to be in today, if they
are not delayed by the cold and freez-
