wells this evening or tomorrow and
drilling will be resumed again.
The Henry & Macdonald Oil
company cased last evening at their
/ No. 2 on the Margaret A. Gorrell
with the 6A. This well should get
the sand the latter part of the week.
The Henry & Macdonald Oil
company will case at their No.
on the Lloyd Gorrell the latter part
of the week, and it should get the
paw by the middle of next week.
Treat & Crawford's No. on the
Wetzel farm is due in the sand and
should have been in today, but up
to the hour OF going to press moth
ing had been heard from it. 1t will
probably get the sand some time
tomorrow.
Keller, Kohl & Co.'S well on the
Harvey farm in the northwest ex-
tension of the Elk Run territory,
should be in the sand in a couple
of days.
Henderson & Co.'s we'll on the
A. G. Martin farm below Frinedly,
which has been fishing for several
days on top of the sand, is expected
in tomorrow morning.
Gordon & Co.'S we'll on the Reed
farm, over in the Wilson run ter
ritory, has been drilled into the
sand, and will make fair producer.
The Little Muskingum Oil COM
pany will commence building the
rig for their No. 3, on the Martha
Thomas farm, in the same territory,
in a cou pie of days.
EVERETT, w. VA.
Special to the Review
Holden & Barnsdall's we'll on the
Henry Thorn farm, near the Mar
tin farm is a good one and will
probably make so barrels per day
when put to pumping.
Henderson & Co. reported dry in
the Cow run sand on the Martin
farm, but there is talk Of drilling
Big Injun sand with better hopes
of a we'll.
A rig is going up on the Hugh
Thorn farm, near the Martin and
will be drilled at once. 1t will be
drilled by Nicely and others.
The situation is about this, that
Holden & Barnsdall have defined
the way it will extend in this field,
which is southwest, as all the wells
drilled on this line have had
showing for oil.
Holden & Barnsdal1 are about
ready to commence drilling on their
No. 2, Flesher farm, about one
fourth Of mile southwest of their
No. I, on that farm.
The outlook here is good for a
great amount of drilling yet, and
some think that there will be big
Injun pool found in this locality,
soon.

OIL NOTES.
THE OIL MARKET.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays DAILY.
We regret to report that the well
drilled by Captain J. 7. Jones, on
the Joshua Martin farm, and near
the big Marshall well just below
town, has been drilled in and is
quite big gas we'll, but almost a
failure as to oil. The well is gas
sing strongly and making a little
oil. 1t may produce more oil later
on, but at present as an oil we'll ii
is a failure.
It looks now very much as if the
Marshall we'll was another Dye
Brooks freak. 1t is still producing
200 barrels day and is holding up
remarkably we'll, but it is thought
now by all that it is a freak and
only opened up a small pocket OF
oil of not much width or length.
Still it is not at all likely that only
one good we'll will be found down
there, but the line leading from the
Marshall has not yet been discov-
cred.
Yoke & Co. on the Fluharty farm
In the northeast extension of the
Elk Fork pool have we'll due in
the sand today.
The Little Muskingum Oil COM
pany will shoot their No. on the
Martha Thomas farm today. 1t
made a much better showing than
No. I did when drilled in.
The test we'll that is to be drilled
on the Harrison Lightner farm is a
certainty. The parties are now
putting up derrick and expect to
be connected up and all ready to
begin spudding by next Tuesday
morning. This well is just back
of Eph Wells farm and not more
than two miles from town, by the
road. fit should be producer it
will make a great deal of work
right here at home all this winter.
On the old State road in Els
worth district, in this county, the
Henry Oil company has drilled in
its test well on the Argunsinger
farm and has a buster. The we'll
was drilled down to the Gordon
sand, but all the formations were
dry.
Bruner & co. have completed a
we'll in the eastern extension of the
Elk Fork field on the Mercer farm
and it is making so barrels day
by actual guage. With oil SLIP a
so barrel well is a nice thing to
have in the family.
The Henry,,& Mcdonald Oil COM
pany have drilled in its No. J. T.

The Elk Fork Oil & Gas com.

An important we'll is being started
by the United States Oil company

From Mondays Daily.
This is a bright day and the oil
man can smile not only at the
beautiful weather but at the oil
market. The Markets of the
World" justified the Standard today
in raising the price of oil from
$I.I2 a barrel to SI.I5, nice raise
of 3 cents q barrel. The Review
has been telling its readers for a
long time that raise was coming
and we are sure that all agree with
US that if is here. We want to add
a little farther that this is not the
end of the rise. We advise all of
our readers who can possibly do so
to hold on to their oil. We look
for a much larger price for oil be-
fore the robins come again. Unless
there is marked change in pro-
duction you may look for two dol
lar oil at least and in all probable
tiles a very much higher price.
The Victor Oil and Gas compa-
avs we'll on the Edgell farm, in the
Hebron district is in and is showing
up for a very good well.
Childers & Co. will start to spud.
ding this week on we'll they have
just begun on; the Henthorn lease
in the Elk Fork pool.
Yoke & Co.'S we'll on the Fluharty
farm, in the northeast extension OF
the Elk Fork field, has been drilled
through the Keener sand and it is
as dry as prohibition speech.
The Harvey-Cutler Oil compa.
ny's No. 2 Clendenning was drilled
in yesterday, and will make good
so barrel we'll, at least.
The we'll on Selmon Wells farm,
south of this city is in and will
make a ten or fifteen. barrel we'll in
the Big Injun sand. There is 60
ing to be a big pool opened up
down that way, or else all signs
fail.
Eastern refined oil markets were
advanced 10 points per gallon this
afternoon to 7.zoc per gallon in
barrels, and 4.7oc per gallon in
bulk in New York city. Philadel
phia and Baltimore prices rule S
points per gallon under New York
figures.
The pipe line runs of Pennsylva'
MIA oil for the first II days of Octo.
Der averaged 1882 barrels per day
S,557 barrels day less than Sep
TENDER average. The shipments Of
the same lines for the same period
averaged S7,153 barrels per day
which is 1867 barrels day above
the September daily average.
If this difference between runs
and shipments of Pennsylvania OF
should continue through the month
the stocks would be decreased ovel
100000 barrels. The present ratio
is not likely to continue to the las
day of the mouth. The decline il

close of September were I7,o21, 261
barrles, the smallest amount in over
four years, and while this seems to
be an ocean of oil, the Buckeye and
Indiana Pipe Line companies are
evidently scraping tank bottoms to
continue their large shipments.
They have reached b. S. in many
places, and are drawing on the sed-
iment and surplus accounts to I'LL
orders and meet demands which the
production will not supply.
BENwooD.
Special to the Review.
The Liberty Oil company's Nc
Farland lease in this field consists
of 40 acres aud now has four wells
pumping. They make combined
production Of IS barrels day.
When drilled in, about two years
ago, they each made in the neigh
borhood of 400 barrels each and
since that time have put forth over
1913 900 barrels of oil.
The Moundsville company has
two wells in the Berea Grit on the
Piatt farm. One makes pumping
production of seven to eight bar
rels and the other flows about II
barrels daily.
Their w. S. Covert No. near
the Piatt. lease is making six or
seven barrels pumped.
The Henry company's I. Fl.
Norris we'll is a small gasser with
no oil. They expect to put test
on the John Norris farm soon.
The Nelson Covert we'll No. 3
was drilled in a few days ago and is
said to be good for so barrels.
Fishers are starting another well
on the Albert Jackson farm.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Saturday evening the Eastern Oil
company's No, 10 on the Gorrell
Jumped the drill on the stem and
left the bit in the sand.
Yoke & Co.'s we'll on the Morrow
farm, which was dry in the Keener,
struck big vein OF gas on the top
of the Big Injun yesterday. The
report of the gas, which is escaping
through a six-inch pipe, can be
plainly heard mile distant. Mr..
Yoke is confident that he will have
the best gas producer in the state,
and it will be especially valuable
for the reason that fuel is at pre-
MUM in the territory adjoining his
rich strike. He has shut the well
down and will proceed no further
until the arrival of his partner, Mr..
Steelsmith, who is expected to ar
rive from Butler, Pa, either today
or tomorrow.
Yoke & Co.'S No. on the Flu-
harty, will not be in before Wednes'
day, as the work has been delayed
by broken jars. This company
made two locations Saturday on the
Homer I. Bowser farm, between
the Fluharty No. and Treat &
Crawford, on the Wetzel.
The Adds well on the Clel
Nichols farm, in the northeast ex-
tension of the Elk Fork pool, YVES
due in the sand yesterday.
Steelsmith & Co. have we'll at
Bens run which is due in the sand
the first of next week and there is
every indication of its being a good
one.
The Henry & Mcdonald Oil
company cased last evening at their
No. q on the Margaret A. Gorrell
lease with the 81.
There is great deal of fishing
out in the northeast extension OF
the Elk Fork pool at the present
time. There are about half dozen
wells which are fishing at from 500
to 200 feet. On the Cunningham

is fishing at three wells at depths

is quite alive to the force OF public
