Shay & McMullen have drilled in
their No. 2 on the Bohlen farm over in
tie Elk Run territory and will have a
well good for about loo, barrels a day
from the Berea Grit formation. the
well reached the sand early yesterday
morning and as soon as the sand was
struck commenced to flow and has been
lowing steadily. 1t will make the best
we'll drilled in the field up to date.
Their No. on the same farm which
was drilled in few hours previous to
No. 2 will make a very small we'll, in
fact 1t is almost dry hole.
The Carter Oil Co. is drilling at 800
feet at their No. on the Moore farm,
located about a mile ahead of develop
ment and their No. 1 On the Musser,
about the same distance ahead is drill
ing at about 600 feet
Garner & Affords well on the Snyder
farm in the Big Injun sand is holding
up nicely at forty barrels a day
Shay & McMullen have the locations
made for two wells on the Bohlen
lease which will be drilled at on ce, and
one of the Smitternbach, all three of
which will be drilled as soon as it is
possible to do so.
A report was received in the city last
evening to the effect that the test well
being drilled on the James Wells farm
near Ben's Run had been drilled into
1.-THE Maxson sand and that it was flow
ing over the top of the derrick. The
report is thought to be greatly exag-
gerated but it is likely fair we'll has
been gotten.
1t commences to look as though Gil
tespie Bros. had gotten something at
their we'll on the O'Neill farm near
Proctor. The we'll has not been clean
ed out since it was shot on account of
the casing being collapsed, but it is be-
lieved it will be good for % to 80 bar
rels day. Gillespie Bros. have made
arran gements to drill two more wells
on the same farm at once.
