BRADFORD, August 13.-The Bradford
field has long been considered back num-
Der so far as keeping pace with the tide OF
the oleagirous industry. However, in the
old field there is yet considerable lie and
quite an amount of new work is being done.
The production of this field is holding up
remarkably we'll, and property here is not
bad thing to have. Production is rated at
from 81 900 to 81 200 barrel which finds
ready market at these figures. The latest
deal in oil property was W. 81. Whitney's
sale of 125 producing wells with large
scope of territory to the Emery Oil Com
pany for s175, 900, and the Emery Oil Com
pany's 95 wells, in the Knapp's creek district,
to Mr.. Fancbot on basis of 81 200 bar
rel.
1t is estimated that there are ], 800 produc-
ing wells In the field, which approximately
yield 10000 barrels a day. Operations are
confined to no particular points, but are
mostly around the edge of developed terri
tory. A little lead off has been found at the
mouth of Miner run, near Degolia, which has
stimulated some new work. The wells average
from 10 to Is barrels day. James Sterns, h
]. Streight and Book are the principal oper-
ators IN this locality. At Mount Jewett they
are getting some very nice wells. producing
from so to rs barrels each. Boggs Andrews,
Rathburn 4 Mallory and the Palm OIL Com
pany are operating at this point In conserva-
tive way, while in the vicinity of the old Burn
ing well Ralph Bros, Collins McCrumb and
others are drilling. This territory is good Tor
from rs to 50-barrel wells.
The Producers Association, the McCalmont
Oil Company and the Forest Oil Company are
operating on the Bingham lands near simpson
and are getting some fair producers In Allie
gheny Village on the Allegheny river. near
Four Mile, Rhodes, Ferness and Eugene Nc
Elwane are also getting good producers. The
town of Bradford is improving and the value OF
property has doubled within the last three
years.

Notes of Neig hborins Fields.

JACKS RUN-The Doctors well is dry be-
yond doubt. The well was drilled to-day, but
the sand did not improve. and the general YER
dict is that its N g, Two more wells are due
to-morrow-the Jones and Patterson.
MoNToUR-The old Young well stopped flow
ing last night and was shot to-day, but the re-
suits the reporter was unable to learn.
Observation-Disclosures d Co. brought in their
No. Il Mortland, to-day, which at the start
showed up big. A special at noon from the
well stated it was feet in the sand and max
ing so barrels an hour. Later in the afternoon
another special was to the effect that the we'll
was doing LIS barrels an hour and to-night's
direct information from the well puts its fiow-
ing by heads and doing Is barrels an hour.
There is no Importance attached to the strike,
as it is located only $50 feet from a producer,
and when the head is exhausted the well will
make an average Murrinsville producer.

wnDwooD-Some interest is felt in the re.
suit of the McCoslin well, located near the
plank road, three-quarters of q mile northwest
of the Bryant well. The well is shut down at
present on account of repairing the engine,
and will not reach the sand for several days.
1t has been rumored that they were on top the
sand, and were moving the boiler. Bryant No.
2. on the simpson farm, 300 feet north of
Bryant No. i, and Griffith q Co., on the Funk
lot, will not get the sand before the latter part
of next week. The Herr well was treated to a
25-quart shot to-day, but the result was not
as satisfactory as some anticipated. The well
cleaned itself nicely but filled up only 200 feet
with oil two hours after the shot was exploded.
At best it will make only small pumper. The
Roth Oil Company No l, Harbusch farm. is
down $50 feet; No. 2 $50 feet; No. 5, 800 feet,
and at No. 4 they are fishing for bailer and
sets of tools. Their well on the Kretzer farm
is down 500 feet and the Smithfield Oil Com
pany No. 2 on the Smith: is drilling at 500 feet,
and No. Smith at 1000 feet, Griffith & Co.
No. 2 Whitesell, was agitated this morning and
for time made 90 barrels an hour, but to-
night had dropped back to go barrels an hour.

CATARRH AND LUNG TROUBLE
MR.. w. h. WISE

Testifies TO his Permanent Cure by the Catsrrh
Specialists at 323 Penn Avenue.
At No. Sl5 Brownsville avenue, Southside,
resides Mr.. w. II. Wise.
When he called on the catarrh specialists at
their Medical Institute 1923 Penn avenue. he
stated that his catarrh which had troubled him
SO long had become so severe that at times he
was unable to follow his usual business.
The tough tenacious mucus that dropped
from his head caused a soreness in his throat.
Although he was almost constantly trying to
clear his throat, the disease extended TO bis
lungs. His breath became short, and he felt
pain in his chest.
There was scarcely day he did not feel
great pain over his eyes. He took cold easily,
and every cold would cause such stufed-up
condition in his nose he could scarcely breathe
through it. His appetite was poor, and ne mad
belching of gas from the stomach.
Night sweats weakened him terribly ana ne
lost flesh. In this condition he began treat
ment with the catarrh specialists on the Stn
day of last December; on May Z he gave tne
following statement:
This is to certify that have been entirely
cured. 1t is now i've months since became
CURED. feel splendid, and no symptoms OF the
disease has since appeared. W. d. WISE

best the processes Of repair require time,
and that the ultimate outlook is hopeful,
my object will have been accomplished
The great obstacle in the treating Of these
troubles as all physicians know, is the vac
illating will Of the patient, and the habit Of
placing too great expectation upon treat
ment by drugs. The time has gone by
when the principle Of mo cure but by
medicine holds The resources Of the
healing art, with every generation, embrace
more and more of the recognition of human
physical laws which may be laid hold Of and
turned to curative account, and less and
less of dependence upon the permanent eff
cacy of drugs alone. Avoid especially the
advertised compounds for nervous prostra-
ton which are so artfully, nowadays, insin
uated upon your attention at the end of
some attractive newspaper sketch or anec
dote, which deceives you, like his Satanic
