Casing has been run now being plugged to prevent any possibility of water coming from below, pumping equipment ts being installed and the well will te brought to full production as quick- ly as possible. Oil is still flowing over the top of the casing and it bas every indication of betng one of the largest producers ever completed in that district. AS « direct result of the proving of the Tenslesp plans are riow being made for the immediate drilling of seven, more wells, all of which will be drilled in the proven area. Material ‘s now being transported to the field and rig building wilt be started on February 1. It i# expected that all these rigs can be completed and ready for operation within the next six Weeks and every effort will be made to have tho wells producing by the time the pipeline to the field ts ready to operate. Work on this line will be started not later than the middle of March and by early #ummer should be carrying production from the field to this city, Corning Crude Advanced. Following the announcement on Monday of the advance of 10 cents a barrel in the price of Pennsylvania Crude with the exception of that from the Corning district, a ralse of 15 cents a barrel was\ made with the 2 opening of bus'ness this morning on crude of that grade.
