OIL AND
GAS TALK

The Kenyon we'll ia proving the
best we'll in the field. 1t flowed
500 barrels Monday and is still at
it, they say.
Woods we'll No. A, on the farm,
was drilled in by the Springfield
company and proved to be very
creditable we'll.
The we'll on the David Wylie
farm, formerly owned by George
Evans, will be ready for the ''long
string" of casing about Wednes-
day, if nothing prevents.
The crooked hole on the John
Krinn farm proved to be 90 serious
it was impossible to straighten
and the derrick will be moved and
another we'll will be drilled.
The Columbus and Hooking
Coal Co. we'll between Straitsville
and Gore has reached the sand
and has 600 feet of oil in the hole
The company is erecting several
rigs.
The pump station of the Logan
Gas company, near Lancaster, was
visited by a fire this morning
which did about 800 worth Of
damage. The fire started from
two electric wires becoming
crossed and the sparks ignited the
gas.
The Goble Oil and Gas company
! is running better than tank of
oil per day from their wells near
Flagdale. They expect to have
several more wells in before the
bad weather sets in this winter
and will more than likely pay
some fat dividends after the snow
begins to fly.
The Springfield Co. failed to get
the sand in the Weitzel we'll, owing
to the caving of the walls. The
we'll had been drilled to within
about five feet of the Clinton sand
when 1t began caving, finally
catching the bailer and plugged
the hole. The derrick will be
moved and another we'll started.
The new wells in the southeast.
ern Ohio district last week were
as follows by counties:
Washington, 12 wells, dry, 25
barrels; Monroe, 8 wells, one dry,
l48 barrels; Morgan, 8 wells, 2
dry, 80 barrels; Jefferson, Z wells,
dry, 2l0 barrels; Columbiana, 6
wells, 2 dry, l4O barrels; Perry, 5
wells, one dry, rs barrels; Noble,
four wells, three dry, five barrels !;
Fairfield, three wells, two dry. 10
barrels; Stark and Guernsey, one
dry hole each. In the district, 65
wells were completed, of which 2l
were dry, and the aggregate daily
production of the other "A is 645
barrels.
Experienced oil men from other
fields who have been in Bremen oil

that inexperienced men have ruin.
ed number of good wells in that
district and that more will be spoil
ed before the new men in the busi-
ness learn their mistakes, as they
refuse to be guided by the expert
ence gained in the older districts.
The oil men say that the practice
of drilling wells "wet" and shoot
ing them in that condition is bad
practice and has been so proved
all over the country. The nitro
fails to act properly, as the water
forms cushion and does not make
the great oil basin at the foot Of
the we'll as it does when shot in
properly cased well.
