barrels day, on 200 acre lease,
on which there Is room for IL more
locations. The Consolidated COM

DoDDRIDGE COUNTY, ". VA.
The new strike made by the Car.
ter Oil company, on the Dan Harris
farm on Long Run of Arnolds
creek Is still the talk among pro-
ducers. An oil line now connects
up this well through the Douglass
we'll and the first oil was gagged
last Monday and 1t Is we'll under
stood that the we'll Is good for fully
$50 barrels per day. Arrangements
are being made to drill number
of wells In that vicinity, which will
be watched with much interest.
The Southern Oil company has
20 barrel we'll on the Fenton
Williams farm In Greenbrier Dis.

A correspondent from Harris,
Doddridge county, w. Va, writes
the Herald this week as follows:
1 have to report good deal of oil
! and plenty of excitement In the
Harris field. Harris No. which
came In good one on the morning
OF the 18TH inst, Is holding out and
Is without doubt producing more
now than 1t did at first. When it
came in Tuesday 1t threw the oil
from 20 to so feet over the top OF
the derrick and continued to do SO
at periods till tanks were built to
receive the, oil.
1t Is a good grade of oil and
many dollars were lost before ar
engagements could be made to save
the oil. Five tanks, each holding
ESQ barrels, now built and another
In course cf construction. A two
inch oil line was completed Sun
day evening which connects this
we'll with Douglass No. 7. The
Carter company gets all the pro
duction from this well, which is
producing at least 200 barrels per
day. Some place 1t at 400 barrels
and some as low as $50; but I think
a conservative estimate swould be
200 barrels at least. At this writ
Ing 1t flows into four tanks and al
one flow Sunday morning 1t flowed
eleven minutes into the tanks.
Other flows lasted from seven to
ten minutes, with about one hour
between flows. At times il
belches every fifteen or twenty
minutes but when 1t does. of course
