LITTLE DEER CREEK Is Proving a Grievous Disap pointment to Oil Men. The fifth sand development on Little Deer creek, Allegheny coun ty, is still bringing disappointment. T. W. Philips has drilled his No. 2 on the Marshall farm through the fifth sand and has a duster. The location of this well is about 900 feet north and a little east of the Mullet producer, In the Canonsburg district, Washington couniy, the Forest Oil company has drilled its No. 2 on the Hall heirs through the sand, and has a probable duster. A small show of oil was developed, and the well will be shot on Monday in the hope of making some sort of a producer out of it. The Jackson ridge territory, on the Ohio side of the Sistersville field, has a good deal of new work starting. The territory has offered nothing better than 15 or 20 bar rels as a rule, but they are good stayers. S. Galey & Co. have drilled their No. 1 on the Frank farm, and have a producer good for 20 or 25 barrels a day. The same company is starting No. 3 Covert and Brown and has made the loca tion for No. 4 Brown. Galey Bros, and the Fisher Oil company are starting a wildcat on the Dr. Parry, located one mile northwest of the Jackson ridge de velopment. This will be an impor tant test for the northwest, and should it come in a moderate pro ducer will start new work to the northwest. The Fisher Oil company is drill ing at 600 feet at its No. 3 on the Craig farm. The Ann Oil com pany has a rig up for a test well on the Stead farm, and Mooney & Dorr are ready to start the drill at a test on the Winlan farm. In the southwest extension of the Whiskey run pool, in Ritchie county, the South Penn Oil com pany's No. 4 Barnes is only good ior five barrels a day. No. 3 Hay hurst, in the same extension, made 50 barrels the last 24 hours, ending at 7 a. m. In the Murphytown development in Wood county, the Elliott Farm Oil company has drilled in its No. 1 on the Farron farm and has a duster. In Wetzel county the South Penn Oil Company has completed its No. i S, on the John Steven's farm, and has a producer good for 35 barrels a day, from the Big Injun. Jacob Wiley No. 3, on Piney fork, and Si'as Wyatt No. 3, at Stringtown, are both due in the sand, Ann Harvey No. 6, on the east side of the Flat run development, in Marion county, is drilling in the sand. Samuel Galey has sold his pro duction on the Calebaugh farm, in the Deist pool, Monroe county, O, to F. P. Hue and others, of War ren, Pa., for $14,000. The prop erty consists of a lease on the Cale baugh farms and six good wells having a net production of 30 bar rels a day. This has been, and is yet one of the most famous pro ducing farms in tne Deist pool. It has placed 60,000 barrels of oil to the credit of Mr. Galey since he be gan operating on it in 1895. The farm was not noted for gushers like some others in the Deist pool, but the wells showed staying qualities. The price ? $450 a barrel ? is con sidered low, but the details of the trade were practically all made and the consideration agreed upon be fore the recent advance in the mar ket. This is the first transaction in property in the Deist pool for more than a year. IiMflnc Most Cease. The Baptist society is having a substantial iron fence erected about its church premies. The porch of this church has been the habitual loafing place for many denizens of the city and country and it is to be hoped this condition of things will be obviated now. Adjourned One Week.
