RINARD'S MILLS OIL NEWS.
The last week has opened a bright
page in the history of the oil field.
Three fine wells have been struck since
our last report. All of them are fine
oil producers and at least two of them
are good gassers. The roads are get
ting in better condition and hauling
has revived to great extent.
One of the above named wells was
struck by Gordon & Yost on the Poul-
ton lease. We cannot give it's exact
calibre tL.s week, but from the report
it is a daisy. 1t has only been drilled
a short distance in the first pay or
the part of the sand that yields the oil
but it is impossible to drill it any fur
ther. One day last week the drillers
attempted to- drill it deeper and the
well made the splendid flow of 10S bar
rels without stopping. This should
be enough to convince anyone that ii
is at least good we'll IL not gusher
1t will be drilled deeper and cleaned
out as soon as possible. We are not
informed as to the amount of gas the
well produces. Rigs No. 5 and on
this lease are up and spuiding will
soon be commenced.
j. F. Boggs & Co. brought in their
No English Wednesday and have a
fine well both for oil and gas. The
we'll is good for at least so barrels per
day, natural production, and is a
strong gasser. The company will save
the gas for use on the lease.
Mechanism & Co.'S A. ]. Watson
No. was brought in last week and is
a good well for both oil and gas. We
are unable to tell its exact production.
The United States Oil Co.'S Ullman
No. Z reached the Big Injun sand Fri
day. There was quite lot of gas but
only small showing of oil. The COM
pany did not expect much out of this
we'll in the Big Injun sand owing to
its location. They expect to drill this
well for Berea sand tesC we'll and SO
they are going on down to the grit"
They are having bad luck at Larfer
& Co.'s Hupp No. 2. Just after casing
the well they lost stem and a bit
The trouble was caused by the cable
pulling out of the ropesocket This is
unfortunate, yet it is fortunate that
the tools were not lost until the well
was cased which will prevent cave.
The report made by us last week
that the McHugh we'll over by Browns
vile was fine well was a mistake
Only small amount of oil was found
in the Injun and the we'll was drilled
to the Berea sand with no better re-
suits. The treport made. by us last
week was due to the different reports
received from the well at this time
This makes several wells that have
been drilled in that nelghDorhood with
bad results and we have made up ouI
mind that with regard to oil the peo-
pie of that neighborhood are not in it
