ALL AFTER LEASES.
The Territory in the Vicinity Of the
st. Mary's Well is
ALREADY A SCARCE ARTICLE.
The Venture Has Not Been Developed
Enough for Prediction.
PROGRESS OF THE PIPE LINE PLANS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.I
BELMONT, November 1.-THE st. Mary's
well has not as yet demonstrated that it will
make producer of any consequence. As
usual there is considerable excitement and
interest in the vicinity of the new venture,
and territory has been pretty generally
picked up. 1t is thought by some practical
operators that the Duncan & Co. we'll is an
edger, and that eventually some good terri
tory will be developed. The Eureka Oil
Company's No. deep we'll on the Rutten-
cutter farm is on top the sand fishing for
broken jars. Messrs. Ackerly & Sammel.s
NO. z Charles Green farm, blew up the ouii
wheels yesterday, and the well will not be shot
until tomorrow. Their No. on the Hender-
shot is holding up good, and their No. on the
R. Green is drilling ], 900 feet.
BUTLER-Nothing new has been developed
at the Cypher well on Rough run. The 1ndlca-
means hattering. Last night 1t was drllilng
IN hard, close, dark gray sand and the well mas
not made flow since the one on the Gay tne
the sand was tapped. The contract was let last
night for rig to be built which is located near
the well.
The Dambach well. owned by Bishop and
Wahl, has not been put in shape yet. so II is
impossible to determine what it will be good
for.
NEW PIPE LINE PROJECT.
A Butler county producer informed THE
DISPATCH scout to-day, that the new pipe line
project at Butler was not dead. During the
excitement of the campaign it was lost sight
of, but now that the political issues have been
settled, matters pertaining to the oil business
have resumed their normal condition. he
further said that Mr.. T. w. Phillips was inter-
ested in the matter and in short time there
would be meeting of the General Assembly
of the P. P. A, from which strong 1ndeDend-
ent combination will be organized with
large amount of capital.
CoRAoPoLIs-Colonel Gilmore & Co.'s No
Logan farm is producing 100 barrels a day and
by tomorrow or next day they will most likely
bring in their No. 2 on the same farm. Had it
in Filming & Downing's McClinton well 1t would
have reached the sand to-day.
MANsFIELD-The McCurdy well is still
holding up remarkably we'll Drilling was
begun to-day in the old Riddle well, which Is
owned by Galley & Mellon. The same parties
expect the Gordon sand tomorrow night; the
well is located one-half mile east from the Nc
Curdy On the Palmer farm, 900 feet north
east from the McCurdy, they have well drill
Ing and are building another rig on the same
farm
NO IMPORTANT CHANGE.
WILDwooD-Since our last report there is
no change to note in the Wildwood field. The
Forest Oil Company and Guffy & Queens
Governor Pattison well is reported as doing 90
inches tonight or about l25 barrels an hour.
The Kanawna Oil Company succeeded in
getting the tools out of their well on the Fogel
farm this morning. The well is in the bottom
of the sand and will be finished tomorrow; it
looks dusty. The Roth Oil Company, No. 2,
did not get the sand to-day as was expected,
should be found. Guffy & Queens well. drilling
two and a half miles east from Sharpsburg, is
in the 30-foot. This is an important well and
is attracting some attention.
CHARTIERS-A new feature is being de-
veloped at CHARTERS, aud that is production in
the 100-foot, which until recently has been con-
sidered no factor IN production in this field. The
latest strike in the horizon belongs to the Reno
& Brown Oil Company, which is looking for
good well there; are two or three other l00-foot
wells which are making from 20 to 40 barrels
day. H. Nc.
