Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-01-21

At present there is but very little operating %
being done, and that little is confined prin-
cipally to the front district. At the 'front.' EN-
erson Co., completed a dry hole on the Burk-
hart farm in the heavy oil sand, and found the
same result in the gray sand. Crafty & Myers
also finished one-barrel well on the Scott farm
Saturday.
The latest transactions in the heavy oil field
is the sale OF Crafty Myers of their one-half
interest in the Scot. farm of n acres, eight
month, for sl2, 600.

well Saturday on the Eichner farm, and have
started another on the same farm. Heald &
Hopkins, of Pleasantville, who lately pur-
chased the interests of Black d Emerson, are
doing considerable work.
Tally One More for wildwood.
WMDwooD-W ildwood to-day has lost none
OF its former reputation. On the other hand,
it has added to its history on the southwest
line by the bringing in of the Guffy & Queen
No. 1 on the Runga. The well is reported to-
night as doing 100 barrels per hour. and just
where the end is We hesitate to prophesy.
Greenlee Forst, on the McGeagh SIX acres,
are in the first pay with their No. 2, and shut
down to move the boiler. Their No. ], on the
same property, is reported 20 feet in the sand,
with no show of oil. 1t is likely they will find
the pay at about the same place it was found in
the Ringheisen. Barnsdall & Gillespie shot
their No Kress to-day which increased the
productien to rs barrels per hour. Kennedy &
Co.. on the P. q w. lot, are able to
make but little headway with the drill, owing
to the pressure of gas and itis not unlikely thai
work will have to be discontinued until the gas
ing somewhat tonight. The Griffith & Co.
well, on the Hill farm, NORTH was no good in
the 30 foot and 1t will be drilled to the third
sand. Christie Co., on the Susan Gibson
farm, three-fourths of a mile north of the
Harley well, is down about 500 feet THIS well,
owing to the oil found in the Bowman gasser,
will be watched with interest. The Bowman.
on being turned into the tank to-day, made
about eight barrels in an hour.
