Wildwood Comes Down a Peg.

HI
WILDWOOD, Feb 4-The production of the
wildwood field has come down peg or two
withiL the past few days, and tonight the pro-
ductlon is not over 1000 barrels a day. Ring
heisen No. 2 owned by Griffith and the Forest
Oil Company, is in the sand. but at this writing
the drill is not deep enough to determine re-
suits. The same company's No. 8 may find the
sand tonight, but the chances are it will be
morning before they get in. Runga No. 2 j.
NJ. Guffy & Co., is four bits in the sand and
making II barrels an hour. Drilling has been
suspended until the boiler can be moved OUT
Their No; 3, on the same property, is about two
feet in the sand, which is hard and fine. OF
their four wells, Ringheisen No. and Runga
No are regarded as very important.
The Roth Oil Company's we'll on the PEBBLES,
VIII be next due, and, as it is an advance well,
the result is being closely watched. With
ordinary luck, they will tap the sand by Satur-
day. No. II Harbush is 10 feet in the sand,
which is by no means good, and the well is only
flowing occasionally. Barnsdall & Co., on the
kress, are Is or IL feet in the sand with their
No. IL, which is showing an improvement over
Yesterdays production. Their No. is pro-
ducing rs barrels an hour, and their No. 33
barrels an hour.
Kennedy d Co.'s well, on the railroad lot,
took another spell this afternoon and for a
while spouted at the rate of 25 barrels an hour;
but by morning the well will resume its normal
condition-75 barrels a day. The same parties
on the same property are drilling their No.
and building another rig On the Hardy farm
ing, and Waterhouse & Co. are building a rig
on the WhiteselI. On the Semples Calhoun &
Co. have put in the last string of casing. while
their well on the Gibson has reached $50 feet
On the Susan Gibson, Christie & Co. are drill
ing at ], l50 feet. Evans d Vaudeville are down
l,SU0 feet with their Marks No. ], and have
timber on the ground for four more rigs which
will not be built until they know the result of
No.
The Old Shambufg Field Once More,
=
revived in the old Shamburg field by the dis
covery of an apparently new sand, which is
yielding some good producers. The sand re-
ferred to is called the Quinn sand, and was
known to exist years ago, but not until re-
Gently was oil discovered in this formation, 1t
is found at depth of 500 feet, in the midst of
the old developments. and, judging from the
find it will not be surprising to see quite a new
production here.
This new pool was opened up two weeks ago
by Nelson Farrell. Lowey & Co. followed suit
with 6O-barrel well, while other parties have
been equally as successful. At present there
are four or i've wells drilling and a number of
rigs going up.
Delayed by Pressure of Gas.
McCURDY-owing to strong pressure of
gas the Palmer No. did not find the sand to-
day, and the way things now appear will not
get in before Friday. McCurdy No. 4 and the
CuuTCn anu parsonage lot wells are also
pected in the last of the week Palmer No. l
is making 30 barrels an hour tonight, and the
old McCurdy about $50 barrels day.
A Fair Coraopolis Producer.
CoRAoPoLIs-The Ash WELL on the Watson
lot, located between the station and the river
bank. got the second pay to-day and has made
several nice flows. They are now shut down,
moving out the boiler. The venture looks like
fair Coraopolis producer
A Good New Producer at Bridgeville.
BRIDGEvILLE-To-day another good pro-
ducer came in at Bridgeville, which balances
the dry hole completed on a town lot some time
ago by a syndicate of home capitalists. The
well is located on the Donaldson farm and is
owned by Graham Robbins. 1t will make
a 40-barrel well settled production.
