OIL AND GAS
DEVELOPMENT
OF TRESTATE
Latest Reports of Operations Ia
West Virginia, Pennsy.
Y vanla and Ohio.

Interesting developments In the
eastern fields are still lacking and
routine operations are all that at
tracts attention. Greene county has
a new we'll that is causing little stir
in a section that has not been promi-
nent for a number OF years. 1t is
the Carnegie Natural Gas Company's
test on the ]. S. Watson farm on
Bates Fork, Morris district. The oil
was developed in the Gantz sand and
the we'll has been holding up at fifty
barrels day for number OF days.
The exact location of the new discoy-
cry is two miles north of the old
Former pool. The oil is of very
high quality, light amber in color
and the gravity is forty-nine and one
half. In the same development, Rush
and Mum have drilled their test on
the Mrs. w. Fl. Former farm through
all sands and it is dry. Southwest
OF the Watson farm producer, 4.OOo
feet, the Carnegie Natural Gas Com
pany is drilling at SIX feet in the sand
at test on the Cynthia Conger farm
and has no show of oil or gas at that
depth in the sand.
In the Dorseyville field, Allegheny
county, the Rushville Drilling Com
pany has drilled It's No. 8 on the Sci
bert farm, west of No. /, through the
sand and 1t has dry hole. The first
we'll on this farm came in good pro-
Queer, the second was dry in all sands
and 1t now looks as though there was
no longer a chance for an extension to
the north or west Of the first well.
Looked at from any viewpoint 1t does
not seem possible that the producing
limits of the pool could he extended
by another location in any direction.
