Flow is
Placed at 500 Barrels

Since the report Of the Pocahontas
gusher, reports have placed the pro
duction at from 100 barrels per day to
$500, and the stock. as per rumor has
fluctuated from to / up to figures
staggering the imagination.
According to a statement Of one Of
the stockholders in the company, and
one who should know, the official gov
ernment test Of the well, made last
Saturday, places the production at 500
barrels per day The official register,
il is said, showed an exact production
Of 400 barrels, but the operator stated
that owing to the fact that the well
was slightly caving at the time the
test was made. he would place the
wen as a 500 barrel producer.
Work has already begun upon five
new wells on the Pooahontas lease
and the rigs are being erected as fast
as the carpenters can work.
