ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHi
WILDWOOD, Dec. 24.-No little interest
is centered in the southwest line OF the
Wildwood field since the Ringheisen we'll
came in. There has been a diversity OF
opinion as TO the probable extension Of the
field. Some are of the opinion that as the
Ringheisen well had only small amount of
sand compared with the other wells and
with correspondingly small production, it
indicates that the jumping off place, so to
speak, is near at hand. Others claim that
the we'll is an east edger, and that the belt
crosses the 45 line and swings to the west.
These theories. however, will, in great
measure, be demonstrated when the Evitt
& Co.'s well. on the Guiton, is completed, To-
Gated only 200 feet east of the Ringheisen. The
well is now on top of the sand. and by to-mor-
row or next day should find the pay if there is
any in that country. The Finnegan Downing
well, on the Downing farm, is also an important
venture, and will pretty thoroughly test the
territory east of the As line. The Smith farm
recently has attained considerable notorlety'

Considerable Activity There.

tracing some notoriety. The Zeigler well,
which started the boom here, is doing about 80
barrels per day. This has been the incentive of
II OF Is drilling wells and rigs, all of which are
located on an area of or 6 acres. An old
operator, in speaking of the situation here,
said that from experience this condition of af-
fairs, to say the least, was silly. One hundred
rods west from the Zeigler well there was dry
hole completed. Captain Staughton Co. are
drilling a we'll within so feet of the Zeigler
which is due Saturday.
The Emlenton Producers.
Another meeting of the independent pro-
ducers of the Emlenton district was held Sat-
urday afternoon in the Opera House. Plans
for building an independent refinery and pipe
lines were discussed in detail. Ex-senator Lee
and Hon. George O. Crisswell. of Franklin, are
identified with the scheme, and it now begins to
look as if the project would be consum-
mated Twelve thousand dollars were raised
at the meeting Saturday, which is about one
fourth of the amount necessary to carry out
their plans. Another meeting has been called
for next Saturday, at which time it is expected
that the whole amount will be raised. 1t is the
intention, together with the business men here.
to incorporate themselves into a stock COM
pany and as soon as the capital has been sub
scribed to make application for a charter.
GALLERY JUNCTIoN-At Gallery Junction
the excitement caused by the Geohring well
still prevails. The well is making 245 barrels
per day, and city of derricks is springing into
existence on the town lots surrounding it.
Yesterday Jerry Boyer and Mr.. Root left Pitts
burg for the busy scenes of Gallery with de-
termination of making an investment They
were successful IN their enterprise, having
purchased lot from widow lady near the
well, aud when they left for the city in the
evening the house in which the family lived
was torn down. In a few days Messrs. Boyer
and Root will have rig ready for the drill
where the dwelling once stood. II. Moe.
