THE WEEK IN PETROLEUM.

While activity has continued unabated throughout
the lower Southwest and the Southeastern Ohio
fields. no important developments resulted last
week. There would have been greater activity
probably had the roads been in psssable condition.
Operators who were anxious TO drill certain sec
tions held off rather than pay the extra expenses
involved in hauling supplies over the heavy high
WAYS. Producers have fear OF the market de-
clining and are therefore not overanxious 70 push
their operations In fact further advances IN prices
are expected. such advances must be made IL
wildcating is to be encouraged At present there
seems to be little hope Of finding any pro-
ductfve territory in the lower Southwest and pools
are growing scarcer month by month The decline
of the Southwest field has turned the attention Of
operators more than ever TO the Ohio and Indiana,
the Kansas Kentucky and Indian Territory fields
The most active section during the week was the
FoIsome district in Wetzel and Harrison counties.
W. Va. where more new wells were completed
than elsewhere. These wells. however. are sradu-
ally growing smaller and the indications are that
this good territory is approaching an end OF its
production Only two small bumpers were found IN
the Pine Grove extension The Talkington well de-
cIined rapidly less than 30 barrels day, but IL
was shot week ago. and the production was re-
vived 400 barrels for the next twentyrour hours
1t is hoped that this territory may contain soma
other good well properties that viii Offset 70 some

caHties North Of this well test well Is also

The Shallow Sand territory, in Washington

in the week but they were all within well defined
limits and opened UP nothing new Fair wells
were also found in the WhiSkey Run extension. IN

approach to which is beset with perils. They
leach their goal after amazing experiences, and
then stumble upon anti-cimax However, the
author is undaunted. He glides over the Cisap-
pointment Of DR.. Henry Mortimer and Corkran
the Coxswain with the greatest ease and rat
ties on at a great pace, devising more situations
calculated to keep the reader absorbed. 1t is
an entertaining book.
The anonymous author of Dainty Devils has
written with a purpose, which is to expose the
frailties and absurdities Of those who live in a
great city and have more money than brains or
character. The heroine is an innocent young
woman who is brought bride from shabbl-
ness and obscurity to preside over huge man
sion and to make her way among fashionable
people whose ways she only with difficulty
understand, and cannot. by any effort, compel
herself to approve. Neither she nor her nus
band is very clearly drawn None of the char
acters are set tangibly before US The glst OF
the book lies altogether in its tacit argument
against foolish living. 1t is rather crudeIy
written, obviously the work of novice and 1t
soon pals.
