MONTH in INDIANA OIL
GREATEST NUMBER OF NEW WELLS
IN HISTORY OF THE FIELD.
Large Number Of Dry Holes, Gassers
and Light Producers-Compari
with the Past Records.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
MONTPELIER, Ind, Oct. H.-During
the month of October AS wells were COM
pleted in the Greater Indiana" oil field.
OF this number seventy-nine were either
gas wells or dry holes. This is the largest
number of wells yet listed In the dry holes,
and the reason is assigned to the compile
tion Of large number of gas wells in the
tests made for oil. The figures show All
increase in completed wells over the Sep
tember report of forty-one wells, while in
the new production there is a decrease
OF l55 barrels, due to the completion of
more light producers in October than in
September. AS to completed work October
stands alone as the largest months work
since oil was first discovered in this State.
During the month fifty-seven old wells
were abandoned and the material utilized
for the drilling of new wells.
In new work under way there are 3S1
wells drilling and 1872 rigs up and building.
This is an increase of twenty-seven in
wells drilling and the same number In
rigs up.
The Indiana field now leads Ohio in oper-
ations and probably will continue to do so
from this on and Indiana has more drill
able territory in sight Ohio was renowned
for its gushers, and IL will be some time
before this State will produce as much
crude oil daily as Ohio does. Ohio has had
many wells of the 5,0O0-barrel kind. In
diana has not reached that stage yet, but
expects to some day, when the proper
spot has been found. Hundred barrel
wells are now looked on as prizes worth
having.
1t is expected that operations will soon
decline, as Is usually the case during the
winter months Still II the price of oil
continues to be good more or less drilling
will be done.
Grant county is making preparations for
an oil boom which has already got a good
start, and shows more completed wells
than any other county within the limits of
the Trenton limestone area. Wells county
is not slow and had nearly 100 wells drilled
during October, with big increase in new
production.
The following figures explain fully the
amount OF work for October, as compared
with that of September:
