VICTIMS OF THE ACCIDENT BETTER

The daily production OF the Wildwood oil
field is rapidly assuming it's former proper
tions. Last week it had dwindlcd down TO
scarcely 5000 barrels q day, and for a couple
of days the infant ATcCurdy completely
oversbadowed it. The big wells of the pres
ent week in Northeast Wildwood, the Crit
eth and Forest Oil Company's Ringenhelsen
= No G and the old Kress No. u of Rarnsdall
& Gillespie. have brought it up to 5000 bar
reIs. This was the point reached Wednes-
dav. Although at times it has appeared to
be dying a lingering death, something has
invariably turned up which gave it new
lease on life.
Since it has been pretty conclusively
proved that the w. W. Mcintyre in the
southwest is not going to startle the trade,
the operators in the field are looking to the
northeast, which is now giving indications
of being able TO step up with nrst-clnss
record.
