Sistersville, W. Va, September 81.
The present indications in regard to
the well drilled in on the Hill farm,
to the south and west of the old deyel-
opment in the Elk Fork pool, is that
the well will make as good producer
as anything yet drilled in the field.
The owners Of the we'll did not have
much faith in the location and the well
was drilled in without putting in the
GA or last string of casing, and as a
consequence this has had to be dore
since then. The casing was put III
the well last night and it is expected
that by tonight it will have been
cleaned out and maybe drilled little
deeper. Since the well has made such
a good showing all the oil men here
predict that it will make a good big
producer when drilled, and those who
have territory in that part of the iield
have made their locations and will
be ready to commence the work of
building the rigs for the wells within
very few hours after The well has
been completed, and it's calibre has been
determined.
The Henry Oil Company &, McDon-
aid have drilled their No. II on the
John Pipes through the sand and will
have a 1C0-barrel producer. This well
is located south Of the other wells on
the Pipes farm, and it was not eXpeC-
ted that it would be as good as those
already drilled in Their No 8 on
this farm is being cased with the GA
casing; their No. has a fishing job
and will be delayed some days; NO.
13 is spudding. This company have
number of other locations on this farm
and are preparing to build the rigs for
them and will drill them at their leis-
ure, as at the present time they are
only protecting their outside lines.
The latest reports received from the
Wilson Run territory is to the effect
that it is not showing up quite SO we'll
and the concensus of opinion is that
it will not amount to a great deal.
Jim Shay and a number of others
have leased the Shay farm, which joins
the Deist farm, on which SO many big
wells were drilled couple Of years ago
and will put down test we'll soon.
The territory in the vicinity of Cam
eron, Ohio, is still coming to the front
and the operators seem to think pretty
we'll of it. All the wells drilled in
there so far have been holding up
nicely in production and quite a lot
Of new work has been started.
