the Southwest Field.
ALL LATE AUTHENTIC INTELLIGENCE

1nere Is put little cnange III tne 0outu-
west situation during the past "a hours. No
new strikes are reported from any section,
and the only important feature in the indus
try is the general inclination to stop the
drill. This disposition is more manifest in
light and old territory than in the more pro-
life pools. The low price of oil, however,
has no effect upon the festive wildcatter, and
nearly every day experimental wells are be-
ing started in many localities from Butler
county into Old Kentucky. To-day the
Augusta Oil Company received dispatch
stating that their wildcat well in West Vir-
gina, jackson. had reached the oil-bearing
rock and the indication was favorable for
small well. The company at once sent one of
its members to investigate the new venture.
and in few days its true status will be known.
NEwPoRT-A special to THE DISPATCH to-
night from Newport. o., states that the
Manderville & Co. well, on the Davis
farm, located six miles north of Newport, in
Ohio, struck the sand at l. 7S0 feet, and that the
well is now Is feet In the sand, and made one
flow @ over the top of the derrick this afternoon.
The opinion of experienced operators in this
field is that it will make Is or 30barrel pro-
ducer. The special also states that Rose d
Co.'s wildcat. on the Forshure farm, three
miles northeast from Newport, is drilling below
the Belmont sand at a depth Of 800 feet. and
beyond question is a duster. Duncan & Co.'s
well at ST. Mary's is still producing Is barrels
according to the best geological information of
this territory, is l50 feet above the Belmont
or Eureka horizon.
OIL C1TY-Information tonight from a noted
scout living in the Hub of Oildom is to the
effect there is but very little new work being
started in old Venango county. There are
only few wells drilling in the gray sand dis
trict, and those that have been completed
during the month are uniformly light. Along
historic Oil creek there is an occasional well
drilling while in Pinegrove and President
operations were active, there is not more than
one or two wells now drilling. Pleasantville
and the Emlenton districts have also felt the

have hung up the fiddle and bow and will rest
on their oars for the winter. This action on the
part of the Standard is having a salutary infu.
ally speaking he is emulating the monopoly's
example. If the great Southwest would CO.
operate in this movement during the winter
months by spring there would be large de-
crease in production and the price of the in
despensable staple should be ,correspondingly
higher.
Harbush, which was reported last night as
doing T5 barrels an hour, has subsided to so
barrels an hour tonight. This decline is at
tributable to set Of tools which was un-
fortunately lost in the hole to-day and fishing
job is now the result.
The same company found the second paw on
their No. 3 kretZer, and the result is a mate
rial increase in production. Evans & Coast are
building rig on the Marks farm, which corners
with the Ringheisen on the southwest. The
Governor Pattlson is doing 65 barrels an hour
tonight, and No. 2 same farm. is doing only
six barrels an hour. The Vogel well was started

was not ascertained. Forst Greenlee's No.
2 is hopeessly dry in the third sand,
the interesting spot in few days. There are
a number of other wells on the northeast line
of the pool, none of which are expected to
seriously effect the market. A liberal dose of
glycerine in Greenlee Forst's No. 0 Rose-
house temporarily increased its production.
The same company on the McGahey lot are
down $50 feet
CHARTIERs-Fromt the present outlook there
is not much to be counted in the CHARTERS field.
The supposed extension toward Jacks Run has
proven treacherous, as indicated by the Fisher
Oil CoMpanys small well located near the
Steinmiller, and which should have been good
producer. The same company, however, had
better luck to-day with their well on the Mary
Gutherie lot, which looks as If it will make
fair-sized pumper. On the CHARTERS township
side of the creek the Kertzer well was looked
upon to come in duster, but surprised its own
er by starting off az a l50-barrel gait per day.

ducer is to move slow The Fisher Oil Com

pool toward Jacks Run, as will also Gutfy &
Gaileys well on the Mckee farm, near the Ohio
river; both the above wells are down 700 or 800
feet. The wells that have been drilled down to
the fifth sand SO far have turned out failures,
while the l00-foot developments in the vicinity
of the Scully farm have apparently opened up
new feature in this end of the field and from
present indications it is fair to presume that
quite production may be raised from the GEN.
tenial horizon. There are number OF wells
that will be pulled out and abandoned, while
several new rigs that were too previous in their
construction will be taken down and moved to
more prospective digging.
BRIGHTwooD-The sanguine expectations of
the owners of the Brightwood wildcats are not
likely to be realized, and horny-handed sons of
toll will be somewhat disappointed in their
dreams Of fabulous bonuses for their land.
The well was drilled deeper yesterday, and
made one four-inch flow. From all indications
it will make a fair pumper; at least, the pipe
line people think SO, as they have laid line to
the well. There is some new work near the
well contemplated. and the probability is that
before long it will eventuate into reality.
WooDvILLE-The fattering promises of the
Woodville well few days ago created the i'm
preston that another new pool was among the
certainties. Subsequent drilling has not made
good the first indication. but, on the contrary,
the venture is not looking SO favorable.
The well has been drilled deeper with no i'm
provement and has ceased to spray any OIL In
| its present status it may be summed up as a
| good gaser in the Gordon sand and little oil
in the 80 foot. They have now fishing job on
hand.
BRIDGEvILLE-The Forest Oil Company
| have got Their Hickman farm well to pumping
| which is making 16 inches day in $50 tank.
The OIL Well Supply Company are shipping a
| $50 900 order to Germany, which consists of
| four strings of tools and a complete outfit Of
| oil well supplies. A German syndicate has
| been organized across the briny and will drill
several experimental wells in the southern
| part of Dutchland. Mr.. Eaton has contracted
| with the syndicate to send an experienced crew
of drillers and tool dressers from Pittsburg to
| drill the wells. H. McC,
