REPORTS FROM THE LEADING FIELDS


ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
WILDWOOD, PA, October 29.-To-day
must be noted as a very important one In this
field owing to the fact that there are num-
Der of wells that have come IN to-day, or are
drilling on the top Of the sand, and great ex-
pectations are in store for tomorrow. Inc
Ringeisen well was drilled little to-day
and was materially improved thereby, and
is this evening doing II barrels per hour
and Is still drilling in good sand, with
prospect of further improvement. Grittlths
and the Forest Oil Company brought in their
Herr No. 2 to-day. 1t isone bitin the sand,
and is this evening doing II barrels per
hour. They are to-day moving the boiler,
and by tomorrow expect to resume drilling.
1t is in close proximity to Harbush No. 3
and Forst s. Co.'s RolIshouse No. 8, both of
which are good wells, and nay be put down
as a good one. Forst & Co.'S No. 8 got the
sand to-day, and by tomorrow the tale will
be told. This well is located about the Gen.
ter of the Rollshouse farm, and is surrounded
BY wells of varied production in this
field. The same firm have also got
the sand in their Ice-pond lot
well, and in a short time will know
what relation it bears to Patterson and the
Forest Oil Companys No. l on the Young
farm, which is about 400 feet northwest of the
same, and is doing 800 barrels per day. Rolls
house Co., on the Rollshouse farm, to-day
struck the sand in their No. l, and will bring
said well in by tomorrow evening or Friday
morning. This is also surrounded by produc-
ing wells of from so to l25 barrels per day.
Fishell, Ralston q Co also got the ,n sand late
farm, and will be drilled in tomorrow or next
day. This well is situated between the Coast q
Evans wells on the east, and the Barnsdall d
Andrews and Burt & Mcbride dry wells on the
west, and will decide definitely just how far
the oil extends northwest on the Rollshouse
farm. Forst Co. to-day are rigging up at
their McGeagh No. l. and will be spudding by
day after tomorrow. This well is located 500
feet north of Grifiths, Miller & Co.'s Ringeisen
No. J. Miller Co. are rigging up their Menke
No 2 and expect s;a to be spSdding by Saturday
we'll, Being furthest to the east in
the SempIe station portion of development.
Tinker & Co. to-day drilled in their Bryant
gasser and equal to its neighbors, the Whitney,
McClay and Hancock wells. the pressure in all
being about the same. Forst & Co. have rig
up on the Jones farm and expect to be drilling
very soon. This is located one-half mile south
of the Menke well and is looked forward to
with much interest, as it will extend the field
southwark or will proclaim to the world that
the oil-producing area extends in some other
direction. Kennedy & Co., on the Hunter farm,
expect to get the sand tomorrow. Dunlap d
Co. drilled their well deeper on the Nancy
made several very nice flows: 1t may be
classed as small producer. This is the well
that was reported dry month or more ago,
owing to both operator and contractor being
lost as to the sands in said well.
Mt. MoRRIS-The elaborate report of sthe
Mt. Morris field, published this morning in a
e@otemporary. cot is as misleading mis-. n as lTdicro1s:
]. NJ. Morford farm, completed a 900-barrel
well and an S50barreler on the Ezra Sherman,
l-9OO-barrel well on the Emory Sherman farm
and ], ,400-barrel well on the E. w. Core farm.
Facts of the case that these figures simply show
the depth of the wells drilling, and have no re-
gard whatever to the production. Mt Morris.
within the past month, has only kept the even
tenor OF its way. There were seven wells COM
pleted, two of which were dry, the remaining
live giving new production of 400 barrels.
There are "a wells drilling and nine rigs up and
building. There have been no new features de-
veloped, but the production has slightly de-
creased as compared with last months report.
CoRAoPoLIs-The Gaily and Mellon well,
and, contrary to expectation, did not increase
the output of oil. The well has been over.
estimated and, from reliable information, will
not make more than ten-barrel producer. 1t
is more of gasser than an oil well.
MANSFIELD-The McCurdywell is only doing
% barrels an hour tonight. 1t is remarked
among the oil people that if the McCurdy well
is going to make as big producer as con-
templated it is very strange that the owners
don't drill her in.
The city is honored by large delegation of
prominent oil well tool manufacturers who are
now holding their second annual meeting st
the Oil Well supply office, of which Mr.. ]. L.
Seyfang is President, Mr.. ]. E. Hughes Vice
