Washington county, the Forest Oil
company has drilled its No. 2 on
the Hall heirs through the sand.
and has a probable buster. A small
show of oil was developed, and the
well will be shot on Monday
in the hope of making some sort OF
a producer out of it.
The Jackson ridge territory, on
the Ohio side of the Sistersville
field, has good deal Of new work
starting. The territory has offered
nothing better than IS or 20 bar
rels as a rule, but they are good
stayers. S. Galley & Co. have
drilled their No. I on the Frank
farm, and have a producer good for
20 or 25 barrels a dav. The same
company is starting No. 3 Covert
and Brown and has made the loca-
ton for No. 4 Brown.
Galley Bros. and the Fisher Oil
company are starting a wildcat on
the DR.. Parry, located one mile
northwest of the Jackson ridge de-
velopment. This will be an impor-
tant test for the northwest, and
should it come in a moderate PRO-
Queer will start new work to the
northwest.
The Fisher Oil company is drill
ing at 600 feet at it's No. 3 on the
Craig farm. The Ann Oil COM
pany has a rig up for test we'll on
the Stead farm, and Mooney &
Dorr are ready to start the drill at a
test on the Winlan farm.

Stringtown, are both due in the
sand.
Ann Harvey No. 6, on the east

sand.
Samuel Galley has sold his pro.
duction on the Calebaugh farm, in
the Deist pool, Monroe county, o,
to F. P. Hue and others, of War
rem, Pa, for $14, 900. The prop
erty consists of a lease on the Gale
baugh farms and six good wells
having a net production of 80 bar
rels day. This has been, and is
yet one OF the most famous pro
ducing farms in the Deist pool. 1t
has placed 60, 900 barrels of oil to
the credit of Mr.. Galley since he be-
gan operating on it in 1895. The
farm was not noted for gushers like
some others in the Deist pool, but
the wells showed staying qualities.
The price-$45o a barrels con-
sidered low, but the details of the
trade were practically all made and
the consideration agreed upon be-
fore the recent advance in the mar
ket. This is the first transaction
in property in the Deist pool for
more than year.
