The Boston Oil company has
drilled In a we'll on the Lehmer
farm on Cow Run says the Marietta
REGISTER, which Is remarkable in
several respects, and will do much
toward establishing the contention
that the oil-bearing rock cannot be
robbed of its product entirely, even
after years OF production and that
oil Is constantly forming In mys-
ferrous reservoirs so far below the
surface of the ground.
This we'll which Is in the First
Cow Run sand, was drilled In
Thursday. 1t Is surrounded by the
many wells drilled In this field In
the old days, with crude imple'
ments. 1t Is located only 400 feet
from a well which was drilled
twenty. FIVE years ago, and which
found the pay at the depth OF 3o4
feet and which Is yet producing at
the rate of two barrels per day.
At the same depth the Boston
OIL company's we'll, which required
only IL hours to drill, as against
the seventy.fve days required for
the old we'll, found thirty six feet
of new, fresh sand, pay all the way
through. The we'll was shot with
sixty quarts of glyceriue and will
make about forty barrels per day at
the start, a splendid producer In a
| In a field that has not been worked
for twelve or fifteen years, and
which was believed to be played out.
The Rouse Run OIL company's
No. &C. w. Warner on the pike
was drilled lin on Tuesday, and
showed up tor a light we'll In the
Keener sand. 1t was given a shot
on Wednesday, and may develop
into a fair producer.
The Mutual Oh & Gas Co. drilled
in No. I John Edgell 3 acre lease
In the Ben's run district last week,
and have a 100 barrel producer
from the Cow run sand. This Is
the best we'll brought In In that
section for some time and will
have stimulating influence on op.
erations In that vicinity.
The Hummell Drilling company
run up against streak of bad luck
at c. N. Matheny No I, just back
OF the city. They dropped the tools
just on top of the sand, and are
moving tine machine to start a new
hole.
The U S. Oil company's No. I
Sol Bills, just above the city, was
drilled through the Keener sand
