The Moore No. 16, which came in
dry in the first Cow Run sand last Fri
day, has been abandoned and the rig
dlsmantled.
A 80 barrel tank has been taken to
the Uhl farm for the production.
Mullgan No 1, about mile above
Belpre, which we reported as drilled
nto the first Cow Run sand the latter
part of last week, made a slight show
ing for oil in that sand and has been
shut down. A meeting Of those inter
ested in the well was called to decide
whether they should drill deeper or
net. The rig was made with the inten-
tlon of drilling to the Big Injun sand.
AS yet the decision of the company has
not been made public.
IT is rumored that a well will be To-
Gated about a mile up the river above
the Mulligan wen, and near Briggs
post office.
The casing in the Deming No. 1 has
been pulled and another location has
been made on the same farm one-half
mile south and nearer the river, where
it is expected that the greasy fluid will
be found in abundance.
The boiler and egine that were used
to drill the Holmes No. have been
moved to the Charles Reynolds farm,
and is being used by Buckley & Bis
zantz to drill a we'll there which is
now down about 400 feet and should
reach the first Cow Run sand Wednes-
lay or Thursday.
The Bailey No has been very un-
'ortuna e. The first location had been
drilled nearly to the first Cow Run
and when a string of tools became
fastened in the hole and the second
string which was sent to their rescue
became fastened also and the hole was
lbandonsd. The rig was moved about
zen feet and at depth of about 400
'eet the second hole ran into the first
and had to be abandoned. The rig
was moved a second time, making the
third location, and now it is expected
that the first Cow Run sand will be
reached today This well is near two
Or three others and they are good pro
| ducers.
Hovis & Co. began spudding on their
| Dye No Monday. This well will be
watched with great interest, as it is al
least 800 yards in advance of develop
ment. A well has been drilled on the
south line from this well on the Cook
tlrm and came in dry
Steam was raised on the Reppart No
I by the Henderson Oil Co. Monday
morning. This well has nearly reached
The first Cow Run sand and will prob
IDLY be drilled in Tuesday or Wednes-
| lay ------.,------s-.vr.--.
Cassiday No. which was dry in the
.rst Cow Run sand, will be drilled tc
the salt sand by the u. S. Oil Co
Ingram No. at Lower Newport is
showing for a so barrel producer. A
pump station has been built on this
farm and the three small producers on
the George Mddleswart farm have
been put to pumping.
At Lower Newport five or six rigs
will be started this week.
All the territory between the Lower
Newport field and the Yankeeburg
field has been leased and good rentals
are being paid. The principal Operat'
ors in this field are the Carter Oil Co

The Columbian Oil Co.'S No. l or
