wells are increasing in their pro-
duction, so that oil men are of the
opinion that pool Ct great size
lies near the wells on the Martin
farm.
The we'll drilling on N. B. Will
hanson farm is down 200 feet. They
have had great deal of trouble
with the machinery, but now it is
going down rapidly, and by the
last of next week should reach the
sand. If this we'll comes in pro-
Queer it will widen out the field to
a considerable extent.
Nicely and others are building a
,ig for No. 3 on the Martin farm.
1t will be ready for spudding by
the last of this week.
Barnsdall & Holden have the rig
up for their Martin No. ;. The
Medley we'll and this one are close
together and look like both would
be paying wells.
Barnsdall & Holden will com,
mence spudding today Thursday
on their No. I John Former. 1t
will open up a big strip of territory
fit comes in good.
From Fridays Daily.
Shay & McMullen late yesterday
afternoon treated each of their re-
cent wells on the Bohlen farm to
dose of high explosives but so far
the results are not known. Their
No. is a splendid we'll for that
locality but their No. 3 showed no
immediate signs of improvement af-
ter the shot. Mr.. McMullen this
morning said that the we'll was
very light. He will be rather sur
prised if it should make S barrels
day.
After being DELAYED for nearly a
week, Harvey, Cutler & Co. will
drill their No. I Glendenning In the
northeast extension of the Elk
Fork field today. Many people
who have nearby interests went
out this morning to watch the we'll
drilled in.
Parties returning from the we'll
OH the James Wells farm, at Ben's
run, claim that it is good for at
least so barrels. 1t is being drill
ed deeper today.
BENWOOD.
special to the Review.
Fishers Stephens well at New
Castle, touched the Berea sand
Thursday evening. They got a
strong pressure of gas but had not
much oil at the last report. AS
gas was what they were after, they
ought to be satisfied anyway.
Their Lee Cad we'll at Jackson's
Ridge came in in the Keener Satur-
day last and they have fair pro-
Queer said to be up to the regular
standard of production out there.
Henrys' 1. H. Norris we'll is drill
ing at about 500 feet.
Culbertson, Schell and Robb are
placing a rig as their location on
the T. T. Hobbs farm at Antioch.
This will be a sort OF a wild cat
test.

leases in that locality and are evil
IDENTIFY of the opinion that they will
be able to find some oil between
that farm and Middlebourne.
In the northeast extension of the
developments are being observed
with a great deal Of interest. The
manifestation of interest is made
more conspicuous from the fact that
many people believe the present
drilling wells are located danger
ously near the producing limits OF
the field.
Cutler, Harvey & Co., who have
been delayed since Monday by los
ing the tools in their No. Glen
denning, expect to get the sand
this evening.
The wildcat we'll On the John
WOODBURY. farm near Middlebourne
is the object of much interest. 1t
is drilling again after fishing job
of nearly week.
Mr.. Armstrong, manager for
Capt. Jones, is unable to account
for the remarkable staying qualities
of the Thos. Marshall we'll. Being
located so near production, he was
thoroughly convinced that it would
decline rapidly. He has been agree
ably surprised, however: as the
we'll has been producing almost one
week, and shows no signs of weak
ening, while on the other hand it
has been gradually increasing from
day to day. He is now of the opin-
ion that considerable pool will be
developed between the Marshall
we'll and the old Sistersville field.
In conjunction with the locations
made by him in Mondays Review,
he has also located his No. 2 ivy
ford which he will drill at once.
INJUN OIL AT BEN's RUN.
Maj. John Steele has found
nice showing of oil in the Injun
sand at his we'll on the James
Wells farm. Another feature that
is significant, the Maxton formation
was perfectly dry. There has been
several wells drilled in that locality
and every instance the showing was
found in the latter formation and
the Injun proved to be barren.
A new feature has been discov-
cred which may lend to the discov-
cry of an Injun sand pool. Amos
Steelsmith drilled a we'll in that
neighborhood more than year
ago which some claim would have
made paying producer. We have
it on good authority that he has
since leased adjoining farms which
indicates that he has not aDan-
doned the neighborhood. The ca
pacity of the we'll drilled
in yesterday is not yet known.
1t is safe to say that it will make
a small producer, at least, and when
properly tubed and put to pump
ing may surprise the talent.
The shallow sand territory near
Friendly is still attracting consider
able attention. Holden & Barns
dali have located their No. ; Mar
tin and No. 1 John Former, and
have the rigs building.
Nicely & Co. are building the rig
for their No. ; Martin, IN the same
locality.

head of Proctor creek some weeks
ago, have made location on the
Yoho farm just across the Marshall
county line and will commence
building the rig the early part OF
next week.
Over in the Elk run territory,
Shay & McMullen have drilled in
their No. 3 on the Bohlen lease and
will have a very small well unless a
shot will do it some good. 1t was
drilled in last evening and did not
show for better than five or six
barrel we'll. This looks as though
it might be on the eastern edge OF
the pool.
The Carter Oil company is drill
ing at 500 feet at THAR No. on the
Moore farm.
Garner & Affords we'll on the
Snider which started off at 40 bar
rels from the Big Injun is still hold
ing up at that figure.
The Carter Oil company is drill
ing at about 700 feet at their No.
on the Musser fam.
Shay & McMullen have the rig
up and are almost ready to start at
their No. I on the Smittenbach.
The same company have made two
locations on the Bohlen farm, both
of which offset the Garner & Afford
Injun we'll and they will be drilled
as soon as it is possible to do so.
Cowell & Altenberg are drilling
at 6oo feet at their No. I on the
Martha Thomas farm, located
about three miles in advance.
Myers & Co. are drilling at 900
feet at their No. I on the Dye
Brooks lease.
The Carter Oil company have the
rig up and will commence drilling
the latter part of the week at their
No. I on the Cooks farm. This
we'll is located about midway be-
tween their we'll at Bloomfield and
the we'll being drilled by Cowell &
Altenberg, on the Thomas farm.
| The Bob's Bar we'll is pumping
more now than it was year ago.
The increase is not very heavy, but
it is an increase. The lumber for
the new boiler house is on the
ground and it will be built next
week. -Gazette, Tenn.
From Thursdays Daily
1t would not appear from recent
developments that Elk Run would
ever have any demoralizing effect
upon the oil markets Of the world
The fields record for the week is
one 50 barrel producer and one
buster.
Shay & McMullen's No. Bohlen
will make 50 barrels per day if it
holds up at its initial production
and their No. ; on the same farm
is worse than a dry hole if it can
not be improved with a dose of
nitro-glycerine.
The latter location bears out the
opinion of many who were familiar
with the field that a pay streak
was prolific but narrow.
The chances for due north ex-
tension have gone glimmering and

on a different bearing of the COM
pass. Other wells in that locality
are going in the even tenor oftheir
ways.
The Review stated some time
ago that with dollar oil would come
the revival of field work in the
southwest extension of the eElk
Fork field. Our predictions have
already come true. Treat & Craw-
ford have already begun drilling at
their test on the Casandria Thomas.
The rig timhers were placed on the
ground last fall, but owing to the
extreme low price of credit balances
they decided not to drill. Encour-
aged by the present market, they

the city, two nationaland one state,
and all three of them are as solid as
the Rock of Gibraltar. The state
ments which were furnished by the
Sistersville banks a short time ago
showed that they were in a very
prosperous condition. The man
agement of these institutions is in
good hands and there is no reason
on earth why they should not be
doing business and lots of it. We
have enlightened people here who
know what banks are for; we have
the money to put in the banks, and
we have the best and handsomest
banks in the county in which to put
the money we have.
About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies
as are usually given in such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, we sent
for physician and it was under his
care for week. AT this time the
child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty
FIVE operations of the bowels every
twelve hours, and we were con-
WINGED that unless it soon obtained
relief it would not live. Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was recommended, and I
decided to try it. l soon noticed a
change for the better; by its con-
tinued use a complete cure was
brought about and it is now per-
fectly healthy.--C. L. Boggs,

I wonder if any of the people who
are continually kicking on the &C
ton Of an officer of the law realize
for minute what they are really
talking about. There are some
who understand the situation per-
fectly but the majority in nine cases
out of ten talk just simply because
they have heard some one else do.
Any public official no matter who
has a hard row to hoe but do not
believe there is an official holding
Office either in the United States,
State, county or city governments
that is as much abused and gets as
little credit for what he does as

the way these men are abused some
times, but there are times when
they need turning over for the
way they have acted.
