WILDW0OD'S LATEST.
ANOTHER ADDITION MADE TO ITS LIST
OF GUSHERS.

No Other New Developments of ANY Start
ling Importance-The Latest Intelligence
Received by Special Reports From the
Various Fields.
There is not much of importance to report
from the field to-day. In fact, news of this
character Is a scarce article. Wildwood Oh
Saturday added another we'll to its list of
gushers. The well is located on the Kress
farm, 150 feet due east from the Governor
Pattison, and is OF no special Importance, as
it defines no new territory. On the start OH
it made 105 barrels an hour, but tonight
has dropped to so barrels an
hour. The Governor Pattison has a
record which is hard to beat. Ac-
cording to the pipe line reports the well pro-
duced 5, ,160 barrels the first 20 days after
being struck, which is an average OF $50
barrels day. The phenomenal gusher to-
night is making q inches an hour, or about
g. barrels. The Forest Oil Company and Guilty
& Queene No.2 Rolsehouse tapped the second
pay Saturday night from which its production
was increased from 200 barrels day to ~
inches an hour. The same parties expect to
bring in their No. 8 Rolsehouse by Saturday If
nothing occurs to retard present progress.
with another good well, which is now the best
in the pool and is doing from eight to ten barrels
an hour. The well was drilled deeper Saturday,
but there was no Improvement. The rlsher
Oil Company's last well on the Guthrie is good
for ten barrels day, while the Elcho Oil Com
pany's well on the Sculey, finished week ago,
is holding up at so barrels a day.
STEUBENvILLE-The Ault LinduH well, at
Blacks Mills, Island Creek, since shot and
cleaned out is making six inches day. half OF
which is salt water, or about eight barrels OF
hale F1Naar ranl
WELL on the Brady farm, there is a rig building,
and half mile farther down the creek there is
another going up, on the Chambers farm. John
McKeown who had an option on the j. Smith
farm 80 acres, let it slide to-day, not caring to
pay S2U0 an acre bonus and the same amount per
acre. which is pretty conclusive evidence that
the veteran operator has not much faith Ill the
territory.
All the territory in the neighborhood OF the
producer has been corralled, with the exception
of few pieces which are held at high figures.
Two miles north from the well, at Jeddar's sta
tion, operators are offering one-half royalty for
big blocks of territory, but will pay no bonus
nor begin operations under six months.
GINGo-At GingO the Ohio Valley Gas Com
pany have brought IN their No. 2, located 400
feet from No. l, and it is duster in all the
word implies Fifty feet of Berea sand was
found with three feet ot q break. The Ad-
vance Oh Company, zoe feet south from the
above duster, is down 500 feet and showing
some gas. The Ohio Valley Gas Company
should reach the sand by Wednesday in No. 8.
ST. MARY'S-A half mile east from the St.
Mary's well, on the Bells farm shallow well
which is being drilled down to the Belmont
sand, struck fair gasser in the bottom of the
Big lnjun sand. Wheeling parties have well
shut down on top the sand just back of Van
cluse station. This is looked upon as an i'm
portant well, and is attracting some attention
among producers here. The well is located
about half way between Belmont and ST.
Mary's
Mandevine Co.'s well, on the Davis, has
been packed and made one or two sQuirts
Saturday, since when it has showed no signs of
producing. The pipeline people are laying
hey are monkeying with the well. At Waverly,
near the Jewel Oil Company's well on Bull
creek. the Bear Creek Refining Oil Company
will bounce the drill tomorrow.
GLADE RUN-This field presents nothing
new or of a startling nature at present.
The depressed state of the market
offers no encouragement to the pro-
ducer and the result will be a decided falling
off in new work. 1t takes no Daniel to in
terpret the handwriting on the wall in relation
to the present depressed, price of crude. The
giant octopus that had laid dormant for the
past few months has suddenly revived and is
showing great activity since the land slide on
the 4th day of this present month, and
the probabilities are that tue small producer
viii be treated to an unlimited supply OF
the squeezing out process ere the market takes
a turn for the better. OF the new work Just
completed the Forest Oil Company comes in
for the largest share. Their No ]. A. Ash
per day. No. Waldron only showed barrel
capacity. Naturally the casing was pulled
and she was shot. But the result is not learned
yet but she is looked on as light. Boyd, Nc
Nulty & Co., on the Miller, are in the 100 with
small showing. while to the south few rods
Klingehsmith & Co.. on the Waldron, are in
the sand and still drilling with the prospects of
a small well.
PETERsvILLE-Shoup Co.. on the Nc
Kinney farm, completed their No. l yesterday.
The sand procured was of 4 very fine quality,
and the pay was found lower in the sand than
in the wells adjoining 1t is thought she will be
good for 40 or so barrels. The Watson Bros.
have the drill started on their acre lease on the
same farm. Of to the southeast, near Reibold,
Boggs Curtis & Co., of Bradford, have rig ur,
and are ready to begin operations on the
Nolsheim farm
AMBERsoN-Farquer & Go. No. i. McDon-
nald, was sho' with l00Quarts of high explosive
yesterday afternoon and responded with 20
minute flow, clearing herself nicely. Her own
ers are very sanguine of having a nice we'll but
her capacity will be better known by the first
of the week. Christie & Sutton's gusher on
the Zeigler, turns out to be very tame affair.
Yesterdays gauge showed her as doing 20 bar
rels.
CALLERY.-The Showalter q Forest Oil
Company, on the George Marburger farm, is
Just in and is rated as a 45-barrel producer.
This well, if she is equal to what is claimed for
her will be an exception. as the ventures
Gently brought in on this farm were not of the
prolific sort being rated as five and ten-barrel
wells. h. MCC.
