The first wells in the McDonald field were
drilled for gas. Xe.uly three years ago a
noil was put down m advance of McCurdy
m the Joun Itobb farm by the Oakdale Gas
Companj When it reached the Gordon
sand it began to spray out, but, before the
cipacitv of the well could be definitely ascei -t.iined,
the tools were lost and the hole had
to be plugged Others were soon afterir.rd

Greatest Well In the Field.
This was and has been as a steady pro
ducer the greatest well in the field. It has
produced to date 510,000 barrels of oil, and
from the Herron hollow .inwhich it islocated,
the owners have taken 1,500,000 barrels of
petroleum. Their No. 4 on the Susan Herron
lann has produced 400,000 barrels and their
Xo. 1 on the Matthews heirs' farm, which is
comparatively a young well, has made
100 000 barrels.
The Matthew s Xo. 1 w as allowed to remain
at 40 barrels an hour for several weeks.when,
as she showed no sign of declining, the
owners decided to drill it a little deeperinto
the sand. The tools had been run but ft few
minutes when it bezan to flow at
the rato of 140 barrels an hour.
Drilling was stoppd, and nothing more
was done for a couple of weeks
and as it was still doing 140 barrels an hour,
thev hit it again, and its production went
to240barrelsanhour. This was considered
phenomenal, but a few weeks later it was
again drilled, nnd jumped toneai COO barrels
an hour. Thclrwells on the Bell farm a few
hundred leet from the Matthews
were also big producers and helped
with their Xos. I and 2 Herron to
get the 1,500,000 barrels of petroleum they
hae now to their credit. Aieraging the
pricoofoIlatCO cents a barrel the oil which
thev hnve produced in tin list five and one
h.llfmo.itln is worth $900,000 As the wells
are still big producers it is probable that
they mav get as much more from their
leases in tins hollow. J. M. Guffev, M. Mnr-nhj-,
E. II. Jennings, John Galloway and
John Galo3 are the members ot this Sni
Another Successful Finn.
Tne Oakdale Oil Company has, next to
Gufler, Murphy, Jennings & Co., made more
money than any other firm In the field. The
Fisher Bros., the well-known operators, are
the heavjest stockholders. It has 1,800 acres
under lease in the field, from which 803,000
barrels or oil have been taken up
to date Their greatest well is the
Baldwin Xo 1, which was struck August 18
and has produced to the present time 271,000
barrels, or over 2 000 barrels a day. Their
other big wells were on the Wallace, the
Morgan heirs' and the Sturgeon nctrs
farms. Ttau Forest Oil Company secured a large
block or good territory in the rich belt and
will come out at the big end of
the horn in the lower end of
tho field, although their ventures
in Southwest McCurdv have not proven
gushers. Their Xo. ton the W. C. Herron,
and one each on the three Glenn farms are
cf the first magnitude.
On August 14. Guckert A Steele drilled
their Xo. 1 on the Merry farm. It started off
at 150 barrels an hour and produced over
100,000 barrels hut with one exception their
other wells on this larm hai e been small.
The King of Gushers.
The greatest gusher on earth Fc-. . &
Greenlee's Xo. 1 on the Mevey farm, half ij
mile northeast of the first wells drilled, was
completed on September 26, and has since
produced in the neighborhood or 300,000 bar
rels. It has produced more oil in one day
than any other well ever struck in
America. For several das it made
over 16 000 barrels a day, or
ncariy 703 barrls an hour. Their Xos. 3
and 4 slatted off with a combined output of
4a0 barrels an hour, but soon dwindled.
There were 16 w ells drilled on this farm, and
with the exception of those named, they
have all been light.

The f)evoiian Oil Company, which was
formerly Fitregan, Downlnjr & Co., drilled a
big w elf on tho Morgan Elliott farm, in the
n estern limit of tho territory at McDonald,
which lias produced enough oil to more than
piv for all of their operating in the field.
Those wells with those of Patterson 5,
Jones on the Kelso farm, and the Devonian
Oil Company's Isos. 1 and 2 on the Boyce,
southwest JlcCurdy, are about all of the
great w ells of the field, although there were
others which started off at o er 100 barrels
an hour, but soon dropped to almost insig
nificant proportions.
J. M. Gutley and il. Murphy are the largest
individual gainers in the field by long odds.
They are about equally inteiested in the
Oakdale Oil Company, in the firm of Guffey,
Jennings Murphy & Co. and m the Elliott
mid fetnrgeon iarms. The farms in which
they are interested have produced half of
all the oil in the whole field, or about 2,750,
000 barrrels.
Production of the Field.
The production of the McDonald field on
September 16, just after the Meey Xo. I of
Gieenlee Forst came in, was 32,000 barrels;
on October 13 it was 33,030, October 15, 15,500;
October 1G, 5,030; October 17, 53,000; October
19, C2.000, October 31, 78,000. November 1 it
was 77,000, November 4, 73,000, November 5 it
jumped to 0,000, and oa November C it
reached the highest point of the j ear, 4,300.
From that time it has gradually declined to
the neighborhood of 10,000 barrels. The
total production of the entire field is about
5 550,000 ban els Tho value of this produc
tion ould De $3 530 003, averaging the price
of oil at 60 cents a barrel.
There h is been about $5,500,000 put into
the field in tho drilling or w ell-, laj ing pipe
linc, building tanks, paying bonuses, trans
portation and other eTpense. There havn
been drilled in the McDonald field alone 2G7
w ells and there are 1B7 drilling. In the Mc
Curdv field there weie less than 103 nells
completed.
There areiv4it dozen firms in the field
which w ill eventually come out of it a dollar
ahead, w hile probably 500 individuals have
lost money, x lie amount or oil to the acre
will average about 1,150 barrels, w hile the j
Bradford field has averaged considerably

would have drained 1,100 acrcsor ind,avei-

McDonald's Production 38,000 Barrels.
There will be many happy producers this
morning when they read that the produc
tion of McDonald has dropped below 40,000
barrels. For the last two weeks bets of
cash, new hats and new clothes have been
freely offered and almost as quickly taken
that the production would be below 40,000
barrels, uerore the flrot of 1892. 'ies
tcrdav the output of the field was
given'out as 38.CO0 barrels, and the figures
can be easily pi oven to be correct. There
was not an increase in any of tho big wells
vesterdnv. but several of them declined from
5 to 10 barrels an hour. The stock in the field
was off to 93,000 barrels. There was a report
current last e ening that Dawson, McKair
6 Co."s well at Georgetown, which came in
several w oek ago, had started to flow and
was making 10 barrels au hour.
