dry hole last week ON the old Jesse Dale
farm, up the river, It being the compsny's
fourth well on their leases in the Dawson
field. This farm lies on the east bank oI
the Allegheny river and this we'll would
seem to indicate that the good pay streak
which this company has opened up on
Dawson island and the west bank OF the
river does not cross the stream, at least
not at this point.

ing but gushers were considered worth
while and so these wells we're abandoned.

The Consolidated Natural Gas Co. of
this place, drilled in well this morning
on the McNeal tract in the Jefferson
county field that is hummer, and it is
estimated that it will do from three to
four million feet of gas per day. This
well was struck in the speechey sand
which is very good indication that it
will keep up its splendid volume for
some time to come. This is very good
news as it means much for Ksne's future,
and with the big line that is now COM
will unquestionsbly be better than it was
before, and that is saying a great deal,
but nevertheless 1t is a fact.-Kane Re-
publican, 5th.
