close Of March, while dluuthup
close of March, which is nearly
800 below the number at the close
Of December. In March, the Penn
sylvania oil fields completed 595
wells and 1874 were busters and &c
gassers, leaving 425, with an aver
age yield of less than 111a barrels.
This reveals an absence of terri
tory of the gusher class and shows
that the vast majority Of COM
pleted wells were mediocre pro-
ducers. During February there
were 504 wells completed in the
districts producing Pennsylvania
oil, and 112 of these were busters
and SO gassers. The average yield
of the productive wells was close
to Is barrels, which was the best
OIL record for a year. In the same
sections SAT wells were completed
in January, including 119 busters
