think the outlookiis anything but en-
eouraging and viii not be surprised to
SEE a repetition Of the hard pan times
which have characterized the oIeagln-
ious industry In tho past.
Tho Garner Pool.
The old Garner pool east OF Proctor.
in wetzal county. West Virginia, Is
making surprising record. and is des-
tined to cut considerable figure in
the producing arena It's producing
boundaries arc being enlarged, while
the defined territory is producing some
very handsome wells. Since the last
review OF the Garner pool. the South
Penn OIL Company developed new
well in new territOry which has sig
nltlcant bearing. This new venture was
purely test, and has opened up some
new digging that looks reasonably sure.
The well is located upon the H. R.
Thompson farm, between three-qunr-
tiers and a mile to the northeast fror:
the old production There were but
very few who had any faith in results
and even the owners themselyes
thought the gnmhls was poor one.
When the well below the level OF thu
Gordon sand pay, 1t looked rather dusty
and was reported a failure. The COM
pany thought as they had ventured 80
much in drilling the we'll they would
try the effects of a liberal shot, WHICH
resulted in forty-barrel well Taking
this venture as cue, they have made
several locations and will. as fast ms
possible, test the new lead. The South
Penn company's No. L Henry Garner
farm, is still maintaining daily pro-
ductlon of go barrels. while their No.
12, located on the same farm, has an Of
fetal gauge of 23O barrels n day.
quite an important wildcat well was
completed this week in the shallow
sand territory in Tyler county, by Nc
cormlck & Company, located upon the
Morris farm. BY a majority of local
fraternity. the well was thought to be
located for winner. and that somn
new territory would be opened up. But
the drill recorded dusty story and put
a quIetus on further explorations in
this latitude.
The South Penn psople completed an
important well recently in the Piney
Fork pool, and in the Gordon sand.
which verges closely upon the dry hole
line.
In the Falrvlew district, In Marion
county, they were more successful, find
ing a ESQ barrel well on the Samuel
Jefferson farm.
Wolf Summit.
The northeast extension of the Wolf
summit field is making one of the
finest records in the southwest dis
trlct. The wells are not only large, but
hold up beyond the expectations of ev-
cry one interested in the pool. j. M.
Guffey has two wells on the Harrison
Flanagan farm. doing one hundred and
thirty barrels each. while the South
Penn OIL Company has six or eight
more in the northeast extension, and
none of them have record OF less
than one hundred and twenty-five bar
rels day.
A message at this writing from the
South Penn OIL company's gusher IN
the Wallace district, located on the
Whiteman farm. says the well is mnk-
ing production OF over one thousand
barrels n day. 1t is thought by vel!
posted oil men that Wallace will be
the next Gordon sand pool OF import
ance In the southwest. II the South
PENIS initial well is to be taken US n
criterion OF future operations, big
production may be reasonably counted
upon.
The Knnawha OIL Compnny's good
luck has not yet deserted them in their
explorations in wctzel county, w. Va
Since last weeks account Of their do
inEs, they have completed two Gordon
sanders on Mods run. located upon the
J.. s. Holt farm. one doing two hun
bred and fifty barrels a day, and tho
other one thirty-Hve barrels day, This
week the South Penn OIL Company ran
up against n rank Gordon sand buster
on the NJ. j. Clark farm on Redwood
Run.
The shallow sand developments In
Morgan county, and on the Ohio side,
are maintaining splendid record. A.
], Locknrd's No. S. Murdoch farm, Just
completed, is doing nifty barrels day,
Il, Lane & Company's No. 3, Vanlaw
farm, is doing better than one hundred
barrels day. II. II, Burns No 9,
Homer Russell. Just finished, Is good
for one hundred and ninety barrels
day. Mr.. Grcenloc, Of Fair Luclndy'
fame, has Just completed n test ventura
on the Doughcrty farm, which is dry
and Hochstettcr & Company brought in
another on the James II. zumbro prop
erty OF the same stripe. In both OF
these wells. they were hunting for
continuation OF the good territory. but
missed their bearings.
