failure. as now indicated, 1t will con-

Leasing Is Active.
The Southwest is the most favored
now for an extension. Leasing in
that direction is still quite active.
Local parties have leased the Lutz
farm located mile in advance or
third-sand production, and paid a
bonus of $500. -Four separate and
distinct companies are crowding In as
close as they can get to the South
Penn OIL Company's good producer
ON the b. #. White farm. There are
three righs up and another building
ON adjoining lots, and it is possible to
step from one rig to the other. By
the time all are completed their re-
spective owners will not have SO much
money but they will be a whole lot
wiser. The same is true OF those who
are drilling In the central part OF
the town. In one part of the village
there are twelve wells completed.
drilling and starting on space not
to exceed i 1-2 acres
According to the last twenty-four
hours guage of the South Penn OIL
Company's No. 5 on the B. f. White
farm, it averaged 18 barrels an hour.
The McSweeney and Company well
on the Pierce lot is down to ten
barrels an hour.
Drilling Old Well.
The South Penn Oil Company has
started to drill its old No. on the
hut are Just now drilling on some
thing hard, probably which they have
no record. Before the close of the
week there will be no fewer than
six, and probably eight, wells get the
sand at town lot locations. Nothing
daunted by the dry holes and small
wells ON number of town lots there
are still those who show q willingness
to take chances. Rigs are COINS up on
more lots and 1t looks as though the
furry would not end as long as there
is a location undrilled To the ma
jority of town lot owners the excite
ment has brought no small amount
of easy money. Nearly all have
received some bonus money. and in
some instances more than the house
and lot would bring IL offered for sale.
While some Of the rigs are not In the
living room, they are so close as to
shut out the light from the win
dows.
The big gasser near East McKees-
port, In Versailles township. is partly
under control. The Peoples Gas
Company has purchased the output of
the well. but is not to pay cents
per thousand cubic feet, as has been
reported. In the face of what the
gas company had to contend with 1t
is regarded by gas experts as mas
terly piece of work to be able to get
the well under control in SO short a
time. 1t will likely be long time
if ever. before another we'll OF such
pressure will be found. The volume
of gas developed I'm this we'll exceeds
that of any other well ever drilled In
this county, and Is location so near
to the base of consumption makes 1t
all the more surprising, It has
stimsllated leasing in Versailles and
adjacent township, and holders of
leases have visions of future great
gassers. The pressure of the well
has subsided-some thing one-fourth
and it is reported that the well
ia producing more water. Up to
this time NO new work has been
started in the Immediately vicinity
of the well.
Little Surprise.
West Virginia has a little surprise
in the way of good producer In q
district that has been furnishing any
thing better than light bumpers. In
Union district. Clay county. the Dav-
enport OH and Gas Company has
drilled No. 10 on the Frank Cox farm
into the Big Injun sand and has q
show for q. thirty or forty barrelspro1
duear. The location is 500 feet north
81 No. s ON the same tract. For
more than two years there has been
development work In this district
and the wells have averaged less than
ten barrels at the start In the same
district the CFeis Oh Gompany mas
started to drill No. on the v. SRalS
and sons farm.
