So few cashiers are completed in
the eastern fields that when one does
arrive It is next to sensation. The
latest and best is f. W. Bartletts
No. on the z. f. Batson farm on
E. Dents run. Warrington district, Mar
ion county The well was drilled a
little deeper last Wednesday morn
ing and Immediately the production
went to between ninety and 100 bar
rels an hour Yesterday morning It
was still holding UP at seventy bar
rels an hour. This we'll is the best
drilled in the Dents run pool and
so far the best OF the year. The pro-
duction of the pool is now close to
| 1000 barrels day. When the size
OF the wells and the money value
of the oil produced is taken into con-
sideration 1t can readily be seen that
the Dents run pool is desirable
place TO operate. 1t seems to have
been the irony OF fate for some Of
those who had previously held leases
on this territory to have passed 1t up
without making thorough test.
