Developments in the Evans City
PA, pool will be of exceptional I'm
portance during the next few days.
The wells drilling and 9ue IN, IN
sand will have much TO do with eA-
tending the producing limits OF the
pool The wells drilling on town
lots are OF interest only to those VINO
have taken a chance. The INFORMS
ton most desired Is how far the pro-
ducing limits can be carried oeyon"
the town. To the northwest an inl-
portant test is drilling in the sand.
1t is owned by Clayton and Company
and located on the Clayton farm, Just
outside Of the borough line. AZ
eleven feet in the sand it had FOUND
nothing and the sand was close ana
hard. At a greater depth In the sano
it may find the pay, but the lnuiS@
tions are not promising Should this
well eventually prove a duster IL
will shut of an extension to the
northwest, and nothing will then re-
main but the southeast. The south
Penn Oil Company's No. l on the b.
4. White farm, coming in as 1t did,
q good producer, opens the way LOT
an extension to the southeast. Across
the creek from this well the RusS-
vile Drilling Company IS due IN Che
sand at a well on the Sutton lot.
The Schmidt OIL Company's well
on the Kern lot is producinug about
200 barrels a day. The well has not
been drilled through the sand. The
South Penn Oil Company's Nos. 8, 2
and 8 on the B. F. White farm are
all due to get the sand tomorrow.
These locations are on southWesI
line from production. Quite a num-
Der of the town lot wells will be due
to get the sand before the end OF
the week.
The tools are still stuck in the
well on the Pittsburg Realty Com
pany's lot. owned by Pittsburgers
The well is not producing and the
recovery of the tools is an uncertain
ty. Old wells contalue to decline
and unless the wells now que on the
b. F. White farm come in good pro-
ducers the production of the Evans
City pool was at its zenith during
the early part of last week.
All of the late competitions in the
West Virginia fields are light pro-
ducers or dry holes. On Pinch creek.
