The U. S. Oil Co.'s No. 3 Davis, across
from the head Of Kerrs Island, above
Wllliamstown, was drilled in yester-
day and is rated at about rs barrels.
Clarke G. Co. are pulling the casing
on the Posey farm at Sand Hill and
will move the rig to another location
on the same farm.
Hochstetter & Co. have a showing
for fine well on the Ingram farm at
Lower Newport. 1t was drilled to the
sand Tuesday, when the heavy flow of
gas and some oil made 1T necessary to
shut down and remove the boiler to a
safe distance before drilling in.
The Augusta Oil Co. have pulled the
casing in their well on the Harness
farm at Sand Hill and abandoned the
attempt as a dry hole.
The derrick on the Cain farm has
been moved twenty feet from the first
location and the drill has reached a
depth of hundred feet.
Notwithstanding the fact that Scio
operators are laboring under many dis
advantages, they have succeeded in
bringing in a number of good wells
and coming close together, and have
sent the production few points above
the 1000 barrels a day mark. The
United States Oil company has drilled
in its No. Kearns, and No. 4 Lau-
bridge, and both are showing for good
wells. Kennedy & Fitzgibbon's No. 3
Ramsey is in and showing for 20 bar
rels day. Meyers & Brown have
drilled in their No. on the Arbaugh
farm and have a 20 barrel producer.
Northwest of the town one and a
half miles, on a As degree line, Dun
levy & Co. have drilled in their test
we'll on the Ben Calcott farm and have
show for a 80 or 40 barrel producer.
IT is the opinion of some we'll informed
operators that an extension may be
developed in the northwest in that line
busters on the Haga and Waiter farms.
There is a space of nearly two miles
separating these two dry holes. The
Waiter farm well can scarcely be
classed as total failure since it show
ed for / or barrels day.
Far in advance of developments to
drilled through the sand at the point
where the oil was expected and got
nothing. They will drill deeper in the
search for gas or another sand forma-
ton.
At Bowerstown, seven miles. north
west of Scio, the test well on the Bow
ers farm has been completed and is a
duster. Only very light show of oil
was found at this well.
LOWER SOUTHWEST.
On Rich Run Monroe Co.. and north
west of the Jackson Ridge develop
ment, Galley & Mooney have drilled
their No. on the Cronin farm into the
Big Injun and have show for a good
well. When the drill tapped the pay,
the we'll made flow before the tools
could be taken from the hole.
On Wilson Run Washington county,
the United States Oil Co. has drilled
in its No s on the Ullman farm and
the show is for a small well.
The well on the Tice farm, on Elk
Run, has not produced any since last
Thursday night. 1t made three small
flows and has done nothing since then.
1t is thought it will make a 20 barrel
pumper at.er it is shot.-Derrick.
