From Wednesdays Daily.

pIVuuCSI VI ~. moiyS,
few days since from Rocky Run,
Wetzel county, where he was nego-
tiating for the purchase of royalties.
This territory has been brought IN
to considerable importance by the
recent rich strike of E. H. Jennings
& Co. The well which this COM
pany drilled in a few days ago is
producing from IS to 100 barrels a
day in the Gordon, which is an un-
usual development. The well is
seven miles from Littletown, on the
B. & O., and the same distance
from any production.
There will be no great excite
ment over the development nor no
influx of producers to the territory,
for the reason that the owners OF
the producing we'll have all. the land
adjoining in their control. They
have II 900 acres, the greater part
of which was given up some time
ago by the South Penn. The latter
did not operate the land when 1t
was in their possession as they
considered the prospect not favora-
bic to mourning the necessary ex-
pense of operation. The recent
development has disclosed their
error in judgment.
Boyer & Co. have the 81 inch
casing in their Nc. I Stevens at
Padens Valley. The we'll is down
100 feet and will be drilled in
next week. tits q wildcat and the
developments will be watched with
much interest.
HENDERSON FIELD.
The Walnut Tree Oil company,
on Saturday night, gave their well
No. 3 a shot with 100 quarts of
nitro glycerine. 1t is being cleaned
out today.
The Six Brothers Co., Monday,
struck the Cow Run sand in their
No. 3 we'll On the G. D. Uhl farm,
and will drill in today.
The Henderson Oil company,
Monday morning, drilled through
the end Cow Run sand without oil;
will go deeper. Several new rigs
are under construction in the Hen
derson field, there being no abate-
ment of labor there.
Detlor & Co., who have been
drilling opposite the Fair Grounds,
got a dry hole and are moving their
machinery, to try another location
on the same lease.
Representative Of two oil firms
are seeking leases on Harmar Hill,
with a view to putting down test
we'll or two.
The we'll of Drs. Cunningham,
Warren aud others on the Angelina
Davis tract, opposite the head of the
island, is being drilled in today, and
Drs. Cunningham and Warren went
up this morning to watch the oper-
alton.
The Granite Oil company lost a
bit In their No. 3 we'll on the Al
derman tract, and have difficult
fishing job.
The Clark we'll No. II on the
Moore farm began drilling today.
Some confusion has been occa-
stoned in the numbering of the
wells on the Moore farm by the
fact that there are five wells on the
tract in another location than the
scene of present operations, which
are generally overlooked: These
wells are, of course, to be counted
in the regular order of numbering.
Marietta Register.
From Fridays Daily
H. P. Myers, of the oil producing
firm of Myers & Underwood, went
to St. Marys this morning to look
after his business interests. The
leases of this company are given
gilt edge by the development of
No. F. K. Bills. This we'll came
in yesterday morning and is show
ing up for fifty barrels a day. A
rig is building for No. on this
farm, and locations are being made
for Nos. 3 and 4.
