southeastern ohio fields had better
success In finding large producers
curing the early part and the close
or the past week than has been their
experience for sometime. The South
Penn oil Company's 500 barrel pro-
Queer on the Tannant farm in Monon-
gala county. the Carter Il Fisher
OH Company's good producers IN the
Scanold run field In Spencer district.
Roane county. and the South Penn
Company's good producer on the
Sprout farm. In Harrison county. all
helped TO revive interest in their re-
spective localities. To round out the
week with god record the Blue

farm. located on Laurel run Of Fall
ing Rock creek. Big SANDY dis
trict. kanawha county. and got one OF
the best producers that has been found
In that district for several weeks. A.
soon as the drill tapped the pay in
the Weir sand the well began TO flow

tract a shot and increased its produc-
ton from SIS barrels to $50 barrels a

duters or dry holes In proximity To-

that district since the first OF the
year. There is a large scope OF unde.
Neloped territory in Big Sandy dis
