over 20 barrels per hour. The pay
is found in the top Of the Big Injun,

The Williamson No. I which was
reported due today will not get the

the pay before next week.

Bartlett & Stancliff will be due
at their No. I Fletcher the early
part of next week.
In the Elk Fork field work is
reviving with the good weather OF
the past few days.
The Elk Fork Oil and Gas COM

better results.
They have begun spudding at
their Nos. 10 and II J. <. Hill.
This same company will drill their

This was one of the locations that
the owners wanted drilled last fall,

The Argus Oil company are due
today at their No. &c P. Snider.
This location is within defined linn

the market is preposterous. While
there may be some length to the
field there is scarcely any room for
width. Some few good wells will
be found in the immediate district,
but a field of any great magnitude
will never result.
The last of the week should see
Albrect No. ? completed as we'll as
the Hamilton No. I. There will
be no wells due for several days
that will show any material ex>
tension.
The whole of the territory sur
rounding developments is owned by
Sistersville parties and it is crafty,
ing to see them pulling out all right
The Payne IL acre tract has another
completed rig and tits possible that
the drill will be started at once.
The Albrecht No. I was given a
shot yesterday which sent her pro.
duction away up. If the shot pro-
duces the same effect that the drill
did which punctured the rock the
owners have Klondike. This we'll
has shown admirable staying quail
ties, in fact, no other well to our
knowledge has held up at such a
uniform rate and for so long time
without the use OF stimulants.
From Tuesdays Daily.
The price of the credit balance is
unchanged from yesterdays quota
ton at the local Office here today.
The exchange seems to have taken
On a very feeble tone and very little
business is being transacted. The
cause for this is attributed to the
lowering war clouds. 1t has been
proven that no other influence can
be at work. Stocks are being re-
duced, field work is at stand still,
new pools are not in evidence and
numerous other things have been
pointed out by Us why the market
should go up instead of down.
Once the dispute with Spain ad-
iusted and there is no obstacle in
the way.

From Saturdays Daily.

tions. Nothing has transpired since
Yesterday that is worthy of men
ton. The only pool that is at
attracting any attention at the
present time is the Whiskey run
field. The fact that several wells
are nearing the sand is sufficient
cause to warrant considerable anX-
iety. Another feature that adds to
the Importance of that section is
the fact that it is an unknown
quantity.
The we'll on the Payne lot is still
fishing.
Gartlan & Co.'S No. William
son is due Monday.
wHIsEEY RUN.
Gartlan & Co. when on top of the
sand at No. I Payne had the mis-
fortune to break a jar and now
have a bad fishing job.
Gartlan & Co.'S No. I William
son is down 1900 feet and is expect
ed to be in Wednesday.
Barnsdall & Mallory's No. AL
brecht is holding up to IS barrels
per hour. Since it came in it has
averaged 42o barrels per day and
does not now look like freak.
Mallory Bros. No. I Baker is
down 1900 feet and will be in Fri
day next.
All the operators in the field are
now anxiously awaiting the we'll
now nearing the sand and no new
developments will be made until
something is known from them.
From Mondays Daily.
The Standard today marked
down the credit balances one cent
per barrel, making the present
quotation for Pennsylvania crude
zSc. 1t would now look as though
&c oil was a certainty. There is
but one feature to warrant this de-
cline and that is the present war
scare. If the difficulties with Spain
are amicably adjusted the producer
who holds to his oil will be the win
ner. The fields have presented
nothing that would have a tendency
to bear the market and it is indis
putable fact that stocks are being
reduced.
At the Jug the Hickman Oil
company are due today at their No.
I Hickman heirs. This location is
slightly to the east ofthe producers
already completed in that field.
The Victor Oil and Gas compa-
ny's Morris No. I will be due the
last Of The week.
1t is understood that the we'll on
the Eakin farm, between the Elk
Fork and Jug pools, that has been
shut down for several days, started
up this morning.
The talent is yet guessing the
magnitude of the Whiskey run
pool. Yesterday the well on the
Payne lot belonging to Gartlan &
Co. and located 225 feet southeast
of the Albrecht No. I was drilled
in and is doing in the neighborhood
of 25 barrels per hour. While the
we'll of itself is splendid one there
is practically no extension to the
field. Nor will any of the wells due
this week add any particular sig.
nihcance to the field, only inasmuch
as it affects the daily producing Ca
pacity of the location.
This same company will COM
plete their No. I Williamson on an
adjoining lease Monday or Tuesday,
barring DELAYS or accidents. The
