THE SPECIAL FEATURE
OF THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE WILD
WOOD REGION.


An Increased Flow as the Result of Deeper
Drilling-The Latest News From All the
Principal Fields.
WILDWOOD, October 28.-The special
feature OF this field to-day was the deaper
drilling of the Ringeisen we'll. From the
time it was brought in until to-day 1t has
steadily flowed at the rate of 65 barrels per
day, and to-day was drilled to the top of the
second pay streak and this evening stopped
drilling in the top of said pay and was
making an eight-barrel flow each hour.
They will resume drilling in the morning,
when it is thought an increase will be the
result.
The Forest Oil Company and Grif6th's
No. 2, on the Herr farm, got the sand to-day
at noon, with fattering indications. They
are now erecting tankage and expect to
bring her in tomorrow. This well is located
800 feet east of Harbush No. and 800 feet
south of Rollshouse No. Z, belonging to
Forst & Co.
Menke No. 2. of Patterson, Miller & Co.,
were rigging up to-day and expect to be
spuddlng by tomorrow or next day.
At Grifiths & Co.'s McCaw No. 1 they
will put in the second casing tomorrow.
This evening at 8 o'clock Tinker & Co.,
on the Bryant lot at Semple station, got the
sand, and the gas began throwing out peb-
bles at lively rate. Owing to the nature
of the find they were compelled to shut down
for the night. 1t bears close resemblance
to the Whitney we'll when it was first
brought in, and in all probability will prove
good gasser, differing little in the matter of
the gas having strong oil odor.
Forest OIL Company, Guffey Queens No.
i WELL on the Rollshouse S0-acre lot will get
the sand next Monday. Their No. 2 will receive
the second casing by Monday. These wells are
located about l, 200 feet northwest of the Har-
bush wells, and their No. 8 has the rig COM
pleted and will be drilling by the middle of
next week. and at their Runga No. l the rig is
building and will be completed by next week.
This well is located 600 feet northwest of the
Ringeisen No. l.
Gibson, Giles Co.'s rig No. 10, on the Har.
bush farm, is completed, ana their No. II, on
the same farm, is building.
Barnsdale & Andrews are drilling No. !
Kress. They are building rig No. 2 on the
same farm and have the grades made for No. 8.
The Kanawha Oil Company's No. well on
the Fogle farm was 25 feet in the sand this
evening and possesses all the earmarks of a
duster, unless it may phenomenally find her
pay at the horizon in which the Semple sta
tion wells got 1t, which is Is feet deeper in the
sand.
Owing to the good showing of the Ringeisen
we'll of Griffith, Miller Co., the following is
Barnsdale & Andrews have located two new
wells on the Kress farm, 1000 feet northeast of
the Ringeisen; Forst & Co., two on the Mckee
lot. 400 and $40 feet respectively, north of the
same; Forest Oil Company. Gutfey & Queen,
one well, 600 feet northwest of same. and Nc
Dewitt Co. will commence drilling their No.
on the Enoch Guyton farm, as will also CAL
houn & Co their No. on the John Guyton
property which rig was up four months ago,
but the operators apparently lacked the cour-
age to prosecute the work until prompted by
Developments on the Ringeisen.
Roth & Jennings faith in the southwest por.
ton of this field is demonstrated by their
driving a stake half a mile in advance of the
Ringeiser on 450 line. From present indica-
tions it looks as though activity from other Sec
tions of the field has been transferred to this
section.
MANsFIELD-The Mucurdy well was drilled
little deeper to-day, and the production some
what increased. The activity in this new field
will make up for the dropping OF in operations
in the old territory.

Drilling has been suspended on account of
moving out the boiler and making connections.

ding.
The Finegan gasser. on the Wilson, is re-
ported to be one of the biggest gas wells ever
struck in this locality.
WOODS RUN-Dr Keggy's well came in yes
terday and was tubed to-day. The big well re-
ported on the Kissick farm some few days ago
has made only two feet of oil in $50 barrel
tank. Heine No. q Heine farm, is drilling at
700 feet and their No. Sam, tubed Saturday,
is making 80 or So barrels a day. Addleman 4
Co., on the Mrs. Burger farm, will most likely
find the sand tomorrow or next day. Straw
No. 9, which was shot last week, is doing in the
neighborhood of 100 barrels day, while the
old Stone Quarry well is producing 20 barrels in
"a hours.
PARKER'S LANDING-Within the past month
several good producers have been obtained
around the once famous town of Parker A
new well was completed yesterday on the hill
east of the town which is good for eight or ten
barrels day, while another good well in the
same vicinity was completed in the second sand
on Saturday. On the Baxter farm, two miles
east of Parker. there will be a well due the last
of this week.
MARIoNvILLE-A report has gained circula-
tion that well has been struck at Byron sta
tion, Pittsburg and Western Railroad, Forest
county, which is flowing l5 barrels a hour.
While there is some truth that well has been
found in this locality. no one gives the well
credit for this amount OF oil. The new venture
has opened up some new territory.
