The thirty.foot development on
Dents run, Warrington district, Ma.
rion county w. Va, like many Of the
late discoveries In the eastern fields,
Is proving q disappointment. The
fourth well in that vicinity has Just
been completed and like the first
three, 1t is very close to a failure. It
is y. y Allen & Co.'s test on the Elias
Ryan farm and when drilled through
the sandsfilled sent up only 80 feet with
fluid. When It Is recalled that the
Htggtnbotham farm we'll had All initial
production of more than 1900 barrels,
II can be understood how great Is the
disappointment to those who drilled
with great confidence.
On McKown creek. Walton district,
Roane county, the Republic Oh and
Gas Company has a. better than aver
age well at its No. 16 on the s. A.
Eeshman farm. 1t is a i35.barrel pro.
ducers In the Big Injun sand and locat.
ed, In old territory. The late average
offthe wells In the old Roane county is
not above 10 barrels.
At the head waters OF Tug Fork of
Walkers creek. Wood county, G . il
B1nnel1l drilled his test on the s..
Cooley farm through the second Cow
Run sand and found It barren. Il will
be drilled to the salt sand. In; the
Hughes river pool, Clay district,
Richie county, the Imperial Oil and
Gas Products Company drilled its test
on the John Riddle farm through the
Big Injun sand and It is showing for
9 25.barrel5 producer. The location Is
800 feet southeast Of the test on the
Mccormick heirs farm.

farm through the fifth sand and de-
velopedE q fair gasser.
In Mannington district, Marion coun.
y, Z. w. Bartlett's test well on the z.
y. Batson3 farm, drilled in some three
weeks ago to one of the best produc.
ers IN the West Virginia fields. It
has been holding up at about 26O bar.
rels q day and has at no time had a
