w SuANSoof -
Very little is being done in the
Hebron pool at the present time.
Recent unsatisfactory developments
have put quietus on field work,
ard it will be some time before
that locality will recover from the
effects of the dusters encountered.
The Carter aud South Penn Oil
companies have entirely suspended
ope rat ons, and the smaller operat-
ors are inclined to move cautious
ly.
However, Cusick, Jones & Co.
are holding on with bulldog te-
nacity. They drilled one dry hole,
moved the rig to a second site, and
after reaching poiut near the top
of the sand the tools were lost. AT
ter an unsuccessful fishing job Of
three weeks duration, they aban-
doned the location. and again moved
the rig, which is nearly completed,
at the third location. AS soon as
possible they will start the drill.
The Rock OIL company are pre-
pairing to drill.
The Miles & Company we'll on
the Pugh farm, below the city,
reached the salt sand at depth of
100 feet and filled up 200 feet.
This is deeper oil than that pre-
viously found In the vicinity, and
the prospects are that the we'll will
be fine producer.
The Lockwood well No. ?, on
the A. Pugh farm, was drilled in,
Sunday. and made nice flow. The
we'll closely adjoins the Cadmus
tract and IS fine producer.
The Cadmus No 5 and the Lock
wood No. 3, which wells are drill
ing within twenty-five feet of each
other, being called the twins" are
both expected TO be in, today
