present, is south of the race-cou rse where
tho new well OF J. c. Hyde d. Co., Western
property has started of as q first class well.
This together with the liberal yield OF the
Murray wells gives Durham creek 40 i'm
portauce not recently possessed in that quar-

have been already secured for developmen
along the rise Of tho ground aud upon 'nf

Cooley are busy with their wells. MT
Lsncy-and ground will soou be broken for
new rigs. Altogether the prospects OF tue
Petrolia east eudsrs are Frightening. Witn

Quite a number of inquiries are made Of
the "oldest inhabitsnt" about the old Slack,
Lane, Hall, Galbrsitb, Merchant, Munn's,
Garthshore. and especially the Wilmot wells

will soon be made upon some at least OF the
