Parkersburg, w. Va, February 20
The shallow we'll on the Sallie Allie
man farm, in the Henderson, field
continues to be the sensation in that
field Charley Porter, one of the own
ers Of the WELL says that it is good for
200 barrels a day natural, and when
cleaned out and shot it will make even
a better showing. Shallow oil has
been encountered in various parts of
the field for several years, but every
body was after deep oil and the shall
low sand was not developed. Now
however, it will be fully developed, as
others will drill test wells.
