WILDWOOD, November 1.-THE pro-
life southwestern line of the Wildwood
field exhibits tenacity that surpasses the
expectations of the most sanguine operators
who had pinned their faith to the glory and
| greatness, so to speak, that the drill would
reveal. The Zingenhein well, located $50
| feet east from the Governor Pattison well, is
doing s. barrels tonight, while the Roth Oil
Company No. on the Harbush is making
so barrels an hour. The Governor Pattison
Greenlee & Forst No. s Rolshouse, is produc-
ing 40 barrels an hour, while their No. g. same
farm, is making 100 barrels day from
the first pay. Their 1cepond well made
q production of eight inches in a 25O tank
in the last "a hours. The same compary's No.
l3, Rolshouse, will find the sand the latter
part of the present week. The Forest Oil
Company and Guffy & Queene will, in all prob
ability. hit the first pay by Wednesday in No.
2, Rolshouse, while the Smith Oil Com
panSS on tne Ta 5e on on hop
pay is entered. The Kanawha Oil Company's
Fogel farm well, to the great surprise of the
owners, made five-inch flow this afternoon.
MANsFIELD-The Mellon & Co. well. on the
Scott farm located about a half mile nearly
due east from Patterson & Co.'s MeCurdy well,
struck first pay this afternoon and the well
began flowing. As there was no tankage up its
production could not be estimated, but by
practical operators who were present the well
is considered a good one 1t will only be
short time until the new venture is opened up,
and i1 - -bove predictions are made good by
thG well coming in as big as the McCurdy it
will indicate quite scope of available terri
tory, which, if the inclination of the producers
is followed, will stimulate many new ventures.
BRIDGEvILLE-The Forest Oil Companys
well on the Stewart-Hickman farm made nice
flow yesterday from the Gordon sand. 1t is
estimated that the well will start off at 75 barrels
a day.
JACKS RUN-The Thayer well. on the Frank
Berger farm, is holding up at seven barrels an
hour.
the third ana fourth sands in their well on the
Williamson farm. in the old Armstrong run
district, and it dry in both horizons; they are
drilling for the fifth sand.
TURKEYFooT-Two good wells have Just
been added to the credit of the South Penn
Oil Company and Bott, on the Lee farm. No.
is showing for a l0O-barrel well, while No. 8 was
a genuine surprise to operators in this field.
The well has 30 feet of good sand, and, from
present Indications it is thought, will start off
anywhere from 200 TO 300 barrels day when
up on the same farm for Nos. and G, and will
bounce the drill soon. George Givens COM
pleted a duster on the Lyons farm.
CHARTIERS-The CHARTERS field has been
quite duh for the last two weeks. The way
seems to be opening up again, and before long
quite number of new wells will be in opera
ton. The well on the kritzer, near Dutfs,
which was looked upon as failure, came in to-
day. and is making 10 barrels an hour and still
drilling. The Bryant Znkham on the Bry-
ant Is very fair we'll The Humphries, on
Town Lot, is about 80 feet in the hundred foot,
with bit in the well. The McKee's Rocks, on
Zinkham. is down L. 200 feet, and Robinson, on
the McGunagle. is down LOO feet; Fisher, on
Guthrie ], 200 feet. The second well on same
lease is down 1000 feet. Robinson, on the
Mower is ready to start drilling. Fisher, on
the Meyres, same distance on the advance line,
is drilling we'll The Martin well, on the
west line, looks to be failure. The j. o. Nc
kee well will be drilled down to the fifth sand.
CoRAoPoLIS-Gilmore Co.'S No. Logan is
good for $50 barrels day, while their No. !,
same farm is making 70 barrels in q hours. Mel
Ions Kerr No. 2 is about through the sand and
the indications tonight are not fattering for a
producer. Coraopolls is beginning to assume
the aspects of oil town. The streets are
about three feet deep with mud and it is al
Southwest Pipe Line Company expects to have
their new station in running order next week.
MoNToUR-Montour has nothing of import
ance and the probabilities are that her story
has been told. Sill, Dell & Co. got 50-barrel
well at their No. ., Magin's. Galley Co. are
nearly through the sand at their Byrnes No. l,
and have no show of oil. They will go on down
for gas. Fisher & Co. have rig nearly CON-
pleted on the Schuller.
The DuQueSne Gas Company's well, on the
Thompson farm. north of the Schwetter devel-
oDments and half mile south of the Perrys-
VILE road, which they purchased a month ago
for $4,000, has played out and is not now pro-
ducing enough gas to run cook stove.
