HISTORY OF MCKEAN COUNTY.
a second well on King's run, which proved dry. It appears that this sand belongs to the Elk county family rather than to the Bradford family. It is said to have its origin in Spring Creek township, in Elk county, and to extend to Wellsville. Taylor's Triangle No. 4, the Schultz wells on Halsey's lands, near Wilcox, the Buffalo Coal Company's wells on Instanter brook, the wells at Smethport, also the wells drilled toward the northeast, were all found to be in the Spring Creek sand. In 1878 the Duke Centre oil field showed the rich oils of the Bradford sand, and the same year wells along the Windfall and round Eldred ivere drilled. The Angell Oil Company was organized in March, 1880, when C. D. Angell's wells, at Knapp's creek, the Exporters & Producers' wells, on Kendall creek and at Fullerton, were merged, and 960 acres of the Clark, Babcock & Hulings' tract, north of the State line, added, in all fifty-eight producing wells, valued at $400,000. C. D. Angell was chosen general man- ager; George H. Danforth, president; William R. Lyon, secretary and treas- urer, and they, with Charles T. Crocker and E. M. Danforth, formed the board of directors.
Mitchell & Jones had 900 acres, sixty producing wells, and a one-fourth share in forty others, in 1882. Peck & Freeman had 500 acres, fifty produc- ing wells, and a one-eighth interest in 125 acres of leased oil lands. Brown & Jones claimed 125 acres on the head-waters of Kendall creek, in 1882, with. twenty-five producing wells. The Emery Oil Company (L. Emery, Jr., W. R. Weaver and L. E. Hamsher), purchased the Minard run tract, in October, 1883, from C. C. Melvin, A. B. Walker, Howe and associates. The original Moody tract was 7,000 acres, of which 920 were hitherto disposed of, leaving the Emery Company 6,080 acres, ninety-four producing wells, and seven 35,000. barrel tanks. The consideration was $300,000. This was formerly proved and found wanting by the P. C. L. & P. Company, but Melvin, Walker & Howe are said to have realized about $1,000,000 from the tract.
In November, 1885, the Kane field, which was an uncertain quantity in the oil market for six years before, came prominently before the people. At this time oil reached $1.073, but on November 20 news arrived that the Kane well was making seventy-nine barrels in sixteen hours, and that on December 11 it had reached ninety-three barrels in twenty-four hours. This news, of course, had its effect upon the market. Among the leading producers of this county Capt. Jones leads, with R. J. Straight, the Emery Oil Company, Lewis Em- ery, Jr., John Mckeown, The Associated Producers. Union Oil Company, Forest Oil Company, Anchor Oil Company. Bradford Oil Company, American Oil Company, and the Watson Oil Company. The American Oil Company (P. T. & W. C. Kennedy), were among the leading producers until a year or two ago, when they soll many of their wells.
Wells of the Pioneer Period .* The wells drilled in the Bradford field prior to December 1, 1880, 8,845 of which were producers at that date, are named in the following list: [The few omissions in this list are referred to in the sketches of the boroughs and townships of MeKean county. ]
* The list was prepared for the Era hy a special staff of reporters, among whom w: s the late J C. Mc- Mullen; A. L. Snell, now manager of the Ern, was also in this work. How well they accomplished the work .confided to them is made evident by this historical list- the only record in existence which gives the names connected with the Bradford field and the drill work accomplished within its boundaries from 1873 to Decem - ber, 1880.
