small we'll on the McLa1n farm.
This may be drawback to opera
tons to the north, but on all other
sides of the well there has not been
anything drilled for a couple OF
miles, and there will be plenty OF
territory to be tested this winter.
|, While this strike was very i'm
portant one, yet 1t was not OF as
, much significance as the we'll whlch
the Carter Oil company drilled IN
; on the Moore farm about mile
west of the first wells drilled in IN
the Elk Run field. This well is
conceded to be the best one that
has yet been drilled in in the Berea
, grit formation over there and is es-
timated to be good for not less than
100 barrels day and perhaps more
than that amount. The we'll was
drilled in on Thursday Aand has
been flowing ever sinc2. This well
caused a great deal of excitement,
as the, people who had leases over
in that section did not in their wild
est dreams expect that such well
would be the result. The Carter
Gil company has quite lot of ter
ritory, and they are making prepa
: rations to drill it at once. On the
, Moore farm they have made the 10
: cations for three more wells, and
, the rigs for them will be started at
> once. They have also made the 10.
cation for No. on the John Cullen
farm. The outlook for the Elk Run
field this fall and winter Is all that
could be expected or wished for
With the market on the advance.
The northeast extension Of the
f Elk Fork pool in Tyler county is
, coming to The front pretty rapidly
and is assuming some Importance:
All the wells that have been drilled
in there so far have been good ones
and the Glendenning No. which
was drilled in some time ago is
holding up at its original produc-
ton in nice shape. At this time
there are about eight new wells
starting out there and during the
next thirty days there will be some
important news to chronicle from
that section. The Henry & Nc
Donald Oil Co.'S well on the Mar
garet Gorrell lease will be drilled
into the sand during the next week.
1t is located near the Glendenning
and it is almost certain it will be a
good we'll and the owners will be
sadly disappointed if it is not
Gafney, Bruner & Co., Treat &
Crawford and the Harvey-Cutler
Oil Co. are all either drilling new
wells or are about ready to start.
Childers & Co. have finally gotten
the tools out of the Henthorn and
it should be in the sand the coming
week.
From Mondays Daily.
On Saturday Nicely & Co. drilled
in their No. 3 on the Martin farm.
about two miles back of Friendly
in the Cow Run sand, and will have
a we'll good for not less than IS
barrels day. This makes things
down in that direction look little
brighter than they have for some
time. For awhile it looked very
much as though that territory
would not amount to great deal, but
there is still some hope for it. Nicely
& Co. have made the location and
will commence to drill at couple of
other wells on this farm in very
short time. Several other parties
who have stuff down there are max
ling preparations to drill their hold.
Iings. One beauty abou: this stuff
is that il does not cost great deal
ito operate it and a well can be
! drilled for small amount of money.
