the Wilson run field, yet the sound
of the drill is heard on all sides.
There are several due in the sand
the first of next week and the at
tertion of the talent will be now
turned to this field. The Gordon
& Co. Reed No. is still holding up
at over $50 barrels and seems like a
slayer. They will commence spud-
ding at No. 3 next Monday morn
ing.
From Mondays Daily.
The Peasants county field is oc-
cupying the attention of the talent
at the present time. Yesterday, the
Sistersville Oil company drilled in
a small we'll just back Of the school
house at St. Marys which is good
for a IS barrel pumper. 1t IS from
the Cow Run sand and after it is
cleaned out and shot may be good
for 80 barrels.
Back in the edge of Richie coun-
ty, on Whiskey run, Gartlan & Co.
have located a we'll on the William,
son farm, adjoining the big well
of Mallory Bros & Barnsdalls
Abreight No. I. This we'll flowed
yesterday at the rate of 10 barrels
an hour and will not be drilled in
until a 6oo-barrel tank, now build
ing, is completed.
This we'll has had various rumors
concerning it, but the above infor.
nation is considered the most cor
rect.
The same company will make two
other locations on the same lease
and drilling will commence at once
Possibly a new pool is located that
will enliven Gil matters in that quar-
ter of the field.
On Muddy creek, Clint Moore
and others reached the eighty foot
mark in the Big Ipjun sand and lost
their tools. Not a sign of oil or
gas appeared to cheer them in the
work, but it is understood that af-
ter the tools are recovered, they
will drill deeper and possibly
through the sand. The owners
consider it dry hole

ty, in the shallow sand, that is
making IS barrels day. Two 9th
er wells are located on the same
farm and will be drilled in at once.
Mrs. Rachel Russell, Of this city, is
one Of the heirs. The farm looks as
if it was goirg to be very valuable
as all oil producer.
We hope none OF Off readers will
go wild on the Texas field, There
is some oil being produced down
that way and there is no scarcity Of
men to do the drilling By and by
when pipe line is laid to the field,
fit ever is, Developments may be-
come very active. Read the
Review and we will keep YOU
posted as the work goes ou.
If the present cold snap will just
continue1ong enough to freeze up
TIE roads and keep them froze up
for awhile, developments i'll this
field would be very active again.
A little excitement was caused at
Elk Fork yesterday afternoon by
the burning Of the derrick at the
Fisher Oil company's Henthorn
No. 2. The derrick caught fire
from escaping gas and was entirely
consumed along with $50 barrel
tank of oil standing near. The ca
BILE, holding the string of tools, was
also burned and let the tools in the
we'll. This was the most unfortu
nate part Of the fire, as the tools
will be all twisted tight into the
hole. 1t will be most tedious
fishing job to get them out.
There are only nine wells now
drilling in the southwest extension.
They are as follows: The Hill Oil
company are drilling at their J. K.
Hill No. s and II; the Elk Fork
Oil & Gas companies at their J. K.
Hill Nos. 10 and II; Cobb & Glenn
at their Duel No. I and 2. Fisher
Oil company at their Henthorn No.
Z and L, also Yoke s. Co. at their
Flaherty No. I. To the northeast
part of the field, Nicholl & Barns
dali are drilling at their 7. C. Haw-
kins' No. 8.
Nothing has been heard from the
Klondike Oil company's we'll on the
John Johnson at the Jug" 1t was
due Thursday but, as yet, has not
reached the pay.
1t is presumed that some acci-
dent has befallen it and it may be
in at any time now,
Clint Moore and others drilling
on Muddy creek reached the sand
Yesterday noon but will have to go
almost ninety feet yet to reach the
pay, They will likely drill it to-
night or early tomorrow morning.
From present indications, a good
we'll is expected.
The we'll on Whiskey run has
settled down now to d 3oo.barrel
producer. This is the we'll belong
ing to Mallory Bros. & Barnsdall.
At Elk Fork the Hill Oil COM
pany will be due at their Nos. and
II next Wednesday or Thursday,
barring accidents. 1t was at the
No. s that thev had such a long
fishing job.
