and East of "a As Degree Line-A Good
Well Reported From the McCurdy Field
Reports From Other Pools.
A little ripple of surprise spread over the
groups of producers gathered on the streets
last evening when the late reports from
Wildwood came in. 1t was caused by the
Roth Oil Company's venture on the W. W.
Mcintyre, which got the sand at 2,OI7 feet,
and at the second bit struck the pay. 1t in
stantly filled up with oil and the
boiler was moved back. This well is three
quarters of n mile south of the Alstop wells,
and 800 feet east of n As degree line. Al
most on line between it and the Alston is
the Jenny dry hole. If it should prove to be
q good well as indicated it will probably turn
the active operations in that direction. The
kanawha Oil Company has had h
on for fne heh1neog west OF the
ing member of the company said they
would probable commence drilling it inn
mediately. The McCurdy field also turned
out little surprise last night and is begin
ming to rival Wildwood in the attention
which it is receiving.
