The past week has not been dull one by
any means in the oil business. There have
been several surprises in the Allegheny
pools. The indications are that there will
be several more before the present week is
over. The W. w, Mcintyre, in the southern
spur at Wildwood, has created q new in
terest in that par. of the field, and will no
doubt be the cause of much activity before
the lst of June. The No. 4, on the L. P.
well, is also the reason for the start
ing of severa! wells in the vicin-
ity. The English well, beyond Per-
rysville, was a. surprise, a surprise
from 50 to 100 barrels day, and then
dropped off to almost nothing. One of the
biggest surprises, or rather disappoint-
ments, was captain ,G Graces S weil @ on IN tne D9sy
of it is a good sized 40barrel well and direct
ly opposite, in a southwestern direction, is q
00-barreler.
The McCurdy pool is looming up in first
class style and has already made fortunes
for several of the operators who have gone
into it. Jerome Aiken's Parsonage No. 2, is
at present the big well in the pool. The
Ewing well of Black & Guffey has pretty
nearly defined the limits to the northeast,
and the well they are now drilling on the
Andrews farm is one of the most important
ventures in the field.
The Mcdonald pool has nothing of a sur
prising nature, but number of rigs are 60
ing up. These will be completed by the first
of the month, when the activity in that re-
gion will be sufficient to lend to it no small
amount of interest.
There was report current last evening
that the well on the McGregoT farm, two and
one-half miles east of Verona which is be-
iroor lad hN- O nj fo 70
was making 20 barrels an hour. The report
could not be confirmed. As this well was
down only 1850 feet last Thursday and
would have to be drilled 200 feet deeper be-
fore getting tho sand, the rumor was gener-
ally discredited- 1t is 500 feet northwest of
the Stoner farm gasser, which made show
ing of oil in the Hundred Foot.
Evans 4 Vaudeville have purchased the
one-half interest of Coast & Sons in the
Rolshouse ten acres, at Wildwood, and in
their CoraopoIis property, for 5000. There
are five producing wells on the two leases.
