Sistersville oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1896-1901, 1898-04-06

The outh Penn Oil company
have their No. I Delong near the
top OF the sand, and it should gel
the pay Monday.
Mallory Bros. & Barnsdall have
the drill going at their No. I A,
Bumgardiner and have the rig fol
No. completed.
The credit balances slumped two
cents this morning making the
Standards quotation for Pennsyl'
vania oil 75c. The Standard is
making capital out of the "wal
scare" and millions will be made by
them.
People here are evidently scared
as they are selling heavy today
They are generally inclined to the
belief that lower prices will prevail

From Tuesdays Daily.
The coming summer will be q
busy one for the Elk Fork pool
Those who have it rounded up
knows just about as much about
the true situation as "a hog does
about a niger camp-meeting.
They are finding oil in almost all
directions, and if that is not suffi.
cient inducement to warrant the
operator in drilling, we do not
know what would. 1t may be said
that Elk Fork will never give up
the gushels that she has in the past,
but this condition is brought about
by the oil and rock bearing gas be-
ing so thoroughly punctured that
the gas pressure has become well
nigh exhausted.
The extensions to the pool show
good wells, but the gas pressure is
not sufficient to throw the oil
above ground. In all directions
work is being started, but the
southwest and south of the Hill
farm looks the more promising.
Cobb & Glenn have just COM
pleted their No. 4 Joseph Myers in
that direction, and have at least a
75-barrel well. When If is put to
pumping it is probable that it will
exceed these figures.

today. This location is in defined
limits and will add no new territory.
Their No. II on the the same farm
will be due not later than Tuesday.
Their No. @. T. A. Hawkins is
expected to get the pay by Wednes-
day of next week. Their No. E is
rigging up today and will be started
to spudding by the early part of
the coming week.
Nichols & Barnsdall are due
Tuesday at their No. 3 T. G. Haw-
kins.
Brown & Co. will start up next
week at their No. I Duval, 20 acre
tract. This location is in advance
of developments to the northeast
and considerable importance is at
tached to its outcome.
At the Jug things are a little
brighter. Bartlett & Stancliff have
got their No. I Fletcher to pump
ing and will have fair producer.
The Hickman Oil company's No.
I has been put to pumping and is a
daisy.
Preparations are being made to
drill the Victor Oil and Gas COM
pany's Morris to the Gordon sand.
This will be an importrnt test for
that formation and its completion
will be awaited with more than or
dinary interest. While the deeper
formations in that locality, give up,
in most cases, water, yet there may
be oil found in this particular spot.
The Whisky run pool is panning
out exactly with the predictions of
the Review. Its bearishness is now
matter of history. The field prom
ises not only to be very small, but
doubly treacherous. The Albrecht
No. 3 coming in so small, is very
discouraging to the capitalists, who
gave up handsome prices to get in.
Field work in that locality today
presents very tame appearance.
Gartlan & Co. put the 81 casing
| in their No. 2 Williamson yester-
day, and if no delays occur they
expect to drill it in Sunday.
Their Payne No. 2 is drilling at a
few hundred feet. They have the
drill going at their No. 3 and 4 and
the rig for No. S is completed.

542 rigs as to Col in December
5o2 in January and 499 in February
So the indications are that work is
not as active as it was three months
ago by a decrease in new rigs of Sc
rigs. There is nothing startling i
this.
In the Buckeye field there is now
173 rigs up as to 21o in December
last, a decrease of 81 new rigs.
On round numbers the new pro,
duction in all the fields for March
was 1o,93S barrels, for February
1907, for January 1876 and fol
December it was I4,5I4 bar
rels. So the total new produc'
ton for the last month was in round
numbers 5000 barrels more than it
was in February, short cold
month, 1000 less than in January
and 4 100 less than it was in De-
cember.
What effect the war with Spain
will have, is hard to tell. That it
will be used as a basis for the
Standard to reduce the price of oil
go:s without saying. Any old thing
goes with it as an excuse to rob the
producers. Our readers all know
how long they worked the old rack
ct of lover production" and they
also remember how very silent It's
organs have been for many months
since the production has beer less
than the shipments. 1t all goes
to show what a little thing
the Standard newspapers will give
as an excnse for reducing the price
of oil, and how silly the facts show
the lies they tell to be. Our hopes
of better prices is the election of a
new congress this year. In order
to keep trust congress in power
the Standard will again use all its
influence and in order to gull the
people again into voting for trust
congressman they will, in our judg-
ment, advance the price OF oil until
after the election and then cut ii
again. This is the only thing we
see that will cause an advance. See
if we guess right.

It will be remembered that the
first we'll on this farm was reported
a rank duster when it was drilled
in. 1t was plugged and the casing
was being pulled when it was found
that the hole was filling up with
oil. 1t was put to pumping and
has no time since last fall fell below
20 barrels per day.
Near this we'll the South Penn
Oil company have a fishing job at
their No. 2 Israel Folger.
Cobb & Glenn have located their
No. S Joseph Myers and have the
rig timbers on the ground.
IL. Flack has bad fishing job
at the Eakin No. I on Gorrel's
run.
Near New Martinsville the Har-
per's Ferry Oil company has their
Morgan No. I down 1900 feet.
In the shallow sand of Peasants
county the operator is meeting with
success. James w. Henderson mas
drilled in his No. I Reed and will
have a good shallow sand well. 1t
was reported flowing yesterday and
various estimates were given of its
production. It will make at least
a thirty barrel we'll when it settles
down.

The Washington Post says that un-
less Spain, within 4S hours, yields
all by surrendering Cuba, war cam
not be averted. 1t says in conclu-
sion:
"The Upited States has ceased
all negotiations and will not accept
mediation.
The administration and con-
gresS see no alternative but war;"
Washington, April a. The pres
ident has completed his Cuban mes
sage and it will be presented to
congress on Wednesday. Secre-
tary Long, after the special cabinet
meeting tonight, authorized the
Associated Press to make this
statement:
"The message, which in itself is
long, will not be accompanied by
the consular reports dealing with
the state of affairs In Cuba. These
will go to the committee on foreign
relations OF the Senate for their
private information and will not be
be made public just now. The
diplomatic correspondence between
the United States and Spain will
not be submitted at present"
The cabinet meeting lasted from
8 till after II, and was devoted en-
tirely to the careful reading and
discussion of the presidents draft
of his message. Every mem Der of
the cabinet was present. The doc
unent was gone over point by
point and met with the approval OF
the cabinet in every way. The
only changes made were in a few
pointsof verbiage.
When the meeting was over and
the members dispersed there was a
general air Of relief and satisfaction
on all faces as though the air had
been cleared of doubt and the
members firmly resolved on what
they deemed the proper course Of
action, had set out on its course to
its logical conclusion. The sus-
pense was evidently over. Secre-
tary Long apparently had been
deputed as spokesman for the
meeting and gave the above brief
statement.
As to the character of the mes
sage, he refused to speak. II was
learned from other sources, how
ever, that the message Is in part a
review Of Spain's course in the
present and previous wars in Cuba.
That it will contain some definite
recommendations may be inferred
from the remark of one member.
while l can say nothing explicit
concerning the details Of the mes
sage" he said, II may say that it's
a strong, explicit statement, and one
with which congress will be thor
oughly in accord.
The two foremost branches of the
Cuban question in Washington to-
day were the presidents message
and European mediation, which
now has taken an active form in the
courts of Europe, according to adj
vices received at foreign embassies
here, though no profer has been
made to the United States.
As to the mediation OF Europe or
the Pope, they declare that these
material and moral powers must ex-
ercise their suasion on Spain, for
this government will insist on the
independence Of Cuba as an ulti-
mate sine quo non unless the insur-
gents themselves should consent TO
less, and this they have fatty re-
fused to do.

OIL NOTES.
THE OIL MARKET.

copyright. 1t shows that in the
Pennsylvania oil field 275 wells
were completed in March with a
new production of 1928 barrels and
e5 dry holes. In February, 255
wells were completed with new
production of 5,2o2 barrels and IS
dry holes. In January there were
$40 wells completed with 9 .26I bar
rels of new production and Io7 dry
holes. This report shows slight
increase in new production over
February and a decrease of nearly
1000 barrels over January.
The new production is due en-
tirely from the new strike on Whis-
Ky run about 23 miles from this
city, and at Bristoria, in Greene
county, Pa. The increase in the
production of the famous Elk fork
field was slightly increased over
last month.
In December last, the production
in the Pennsylvania field was Io,-
4o4 barrels. Taking December and
January as a basis, our readers will
see that there has been a marked
decrease in new production in the
March report. The report shows
that the new production for the
last month is 2,77I barrels day
less than it was in December last,
and 1888 barrels less than in Janu-
ary and 2,521 more than the new
production was in February, which
was very short month, and hard
ly fair one to make an average
from.
Taking the total new production
for the past four months the average
new production was S,I62 barrels
day. So the past month fell short
of the general average of 439 bar
rels day.
Again, all now know that the
Whiskev run field is only flash in
the pan and its production will soon
decline, and there seems to be but
little hopes for new wells to keep
the production up.
Taking the report as whole, and
with a fair comparison, there is
nothing in it to show that oil should
not advance, that the daily produc-
ton is decreasing steadily.
In the Lima oil fields the pro,
duction is away below the ship
ments by many thousand barrels
day. The runs form the Lima field
for March shows the average to
have been 46,55I barrels a day,
while the daily average shipments
were 7o,76o barrels a day, de-
crease in Lima stocks of oil of 24,
235 barrels day and for the month
ofnearly 10000 barrels.
This clearly shows that in order
to keep up the stocks of Pennsyl
vania oil the Standard Oil company
is drawing heavily on its stock OF
stinking Lima oil. We can not,
therefore, but think that if the laws
of foreign countries enact laws to
raise the test of refined oil, but
what it will be to the advantage of
the producers all around. This will
consume more Pennsylvania oil and
the Lima oil can be used for fuel,
and if so used the producers of it
would get a better price for the
crude oil than they are now getting.
Of new work under way in the
Pennsylvania Oil fields there are
rigs up and drilling March 81,
