Oil and Gas.

Operators in the eastern fields are
getting back into their stride and in
a short time will again have the
usual amount of wo:! under way.
To start with there is no section that
shows unusual activity. but the new
work is widely distributed through
a great many Of the old districts. The
volume Of new production to be de-
rived from that source must OF ne
nessity be small for the reason that
old producing wells have had Ions
pull on the adjacent territory, tmpov-
erishing to a low degree the produc-
ing formation. With new producing
territory not in evidence. operators
have no other choice and will make
the most OF it.

ing territory Is again taken up West

ton. Nothing much along that line
