more or less gas has been found,

sion Is that somewhere, de.p down

lies an immense body of oil-neces-

county. A deep hole might prove
this theory true and several might
show In false, but the company
owning this we'll proposes to 60
down 2, ZOO feet If 1t can find a spot
where 1t will be able to 60 through
the gas. F. II. Burt, one of the
famous Burt family of West Vir-
ginia oil fame, Is here and today
purchased a farm near the Miller
tract. The price was not given out
but 1t Is understood to have been
far above anything yet paid In this
part of the country.
It seems to be agreed among the
operators that the main body of oil
has never been reached here; that
not only the Sunnybrook. but the
Beaver Greek wells are producing
from crevices. This theory seems
to be borne out by the fact that
wells at Sunnybrook, within a ra-
dius of one-fourth Of a mile Of each
other, vary In the depth at which
they produce from TAO to 1850
feet. Though the bit might not
have found a crevice, the weight
of evidence seems strongly to indi.
cate that the oil found In the por.
Gus rock at these wells has been
forced upward from a much lower
level by an immense pressure of
gas through a crevice to the levels
where found, and thence spread to
the basins formed by the variations
of the formation.
The Somerset OIL company's
we'll. No. 4. on the Bertram farm,
produces forty barrels a day. at TAO
feet, and Its No. S well, 600 feet
of we'll No. 4, started on
level knot more than ten feet
higher, and came In at 100 feet
with production of 100 barrels a
day and has steadily increased un.
til 1t now makes nearly 200 bar
rels. Twelve hundred feet north
Of No. 4 the company's No. 2 well
came In at 814 feet, a flowing we'll
and after three months steady
pumping, day and night, made as
nigh as 500 barrels a day. This
we'll has now decreased to 1913 bar
rels. which 1t has made steadily
Tor a month. No. I, 500 feet far

This Is the fourth and largest gas
producer found In that section of

Though several wells on the
Miller farm and In that vicinity,
have been small producers and
none has been drilled deep. The
directors of the Penn lubricating
