WILDWOOD, November 6.-The monot.
onv at Wildwood was relieved to-day by
the bringing in of Guffy & Queene's 80,
acre Rolshouse well. Drilling was re-
sumed about 1890 o'clock, which was con-
tinued only ID or 20 minutes when they shut
down for dinner, after which the drill was
kept bobbing for an hour and halt. When
at six feet in the sand the well responded to
the tune OF 100 barrels an hour, which rate
was maintained last night when THE DIS
PATCH scout left the well. There is no par
ticular significance attached to the new
strike as it is an inside well and was looked
upon as gilt-edged location, and had it not
been a good well all theories and signs
would have been reversed on this line of the
field.
Herr No. 2, owned by W. E. Griffith and
the Forest Oil Company, is making six
inches an hour tonight in $50 tank. or
about Is barrels an hour. The Ringheisen
is holding up good and showing remarkable
staying qualities. The Hunter well, located
one-third OF mile north from the White
sell well, at the creek. is 25 feet in the sand,
with no indications of oil, while the Fogel
farm we'll is 40 feet in with the same result,
and fishing job on hand.
Guffy & Queene are drilling an important
experimental two and a half miles north
east from Sharpsburg on Little Pine creek,
located on the Olendorf farm. The venture
is nearing the sand, and is being closely
watched by different parties, About two
years ago two wells were drilled in the i'm
mediate locality, one of which had 80 feet of
good white sand and showing of oil. The
Gufy s. Queene we'll is located 1000 feet
east from this old we'll where they are hunt
ing for another Wildwood field, and it is
just possible they may succeed. Unknown
parties are also drilling another important
well northwest from Sharpsburg, which will
be due in the neighborhood of two weeks;
these wells will bear watching. The pro-
duction OF the Wildwood field is estimated
at 5, 500 barrels day. which does not in
clude the Guffy & Quenne well struck to-
day.
BELMoNT-Ackerley & Sammell are
again in luck at Belmont. Yesterday they
brought in their No. 2, Rufus Green, locat-
eu oUU leet southwest from the 0lQ brown
well. The venture in its present stage is
making $50 barrels day, but the owners
expect this figure will be increased with
deeper drilling. This firm will have an
other we'll due this week, located on the j.
B. Green farm, and have a fishing job at
1,500 ieet on the r. Green farm.
SAXoNBURG-Two wells are nearing the
sand at Saxonburg, one on the Welsh farm
owned by Shfeir. and the other belonging
to Imam & Co., on the Weber farm.
BUTLER-Some interest is manifested in
a wildcat well on the Cypher farm, in the
Rough Run district, east of Dike's station,
on the West Penn Railroad. The venture
is located in the locality OF the old Leidecker
midnight mystery, drilled some five years
ago. 1t is claimed that the well has made
one 5O-barrel flow, and is now being closely
guarded and worked for mystery. The
chances are that the reports are exaggerated
for the purpose of disposing of territory at
handsome prices.
CoRAoPoLIs.-Colon Gilmore & Co.
had the good luck to find a 50-barrel well
on the Rachel Logan farm.
FOREST GRovE.-Rev. Mr.. Beacon was
fortunate in obtaining a good gas well at
Forest Grove, which bids fair to be
staver.
There is no particular change at other
wells il the southwest. H. Nc.
