WILDWOOD, March 10.-The point of st-
traction at Wildwood to-day is on the south
west lire in the locality of the McGinnis &
Speer we'll on the August KYLE farm.
There is but little new to report from the vel
tonight as no drilling has been done since our
report this morning. The well has been making
| ten-minute flows during the day at intervals of
a little over an hour. The owners expect to
have tankage up and connections made ready
| to start the drilling again in the morning.
| There is no little speculation among the pro-
ducing fraternity as to the probable caliber of
the well. Some are of the opinion that it pre-
sents all the antecedants of a southwest gusher,
while others do not share this rosy view and
say it will make only an ordinary producer.
The latter base their opinion on the fact that
as there has yet been no big wells found as far
east of a 45o line as the McGinnis q Co. well is
located. it would be very strange thing to see
this one come in big, and would knock all
theories and geological calculations TO smith
Greens. By this time tomorrow night we hope
to be able 10 give full account of this import
ant venture Queene Co. on the Kretzer
tapped the pay to-day at Is feet in the sand and
made several small flows. This well is located
west OF q 45o line, and would seem to indicate
considerable width to the belt in this section.
The well is shut down, moving out the boiler
and getting up tankage. The Duva q Beers
well on The August Kyle farm, located about
700 feet northwest from the McGinnis well,
has been drilling to-day, but at this writing
there is no Improvement 1t is l9 feet in the
sand with no oil in the hole On the Rolsehouse
farm Rolsehouse & Co. are on top the sand and
1t will not be long before they will know what
the well will be good for. On the kohler farm
Beers Duya have lost the tools in the 30foot, /
while Finnegan q Downing No. !,
and flowing by heads on a small scale; their
No, 3 Wallace heirs is drilling in the l00foot.
1t is reported that Griffith & Co. are through
the third sand on the Richie farm and dry. The
good showing in the Kretzer well most likely
has been an incentive to MesSrs. Evans, Mande-
vile & Co. in starting Nos. and up on the
Wright farm. 1t now looks as if the Kretzer
Will stimulate batch of new work to the west
ct 45o line. n o.2 Scott lot Gibson Gibson was
shot to-day. The Roth Oil Company will start
the drill tomorrow on the Peepbles heirs farm,
and Ringheisen No. is drilling in the bottom
OF the sand. 1t will make a light well. Smith
Farm Oil Company, No. Smith is eight or nine
feet in the sand and dong seven Inches an
hour, and No. 9 is in about the same depth and
making 20 barrels day. Kennedy & Co.'s No. |
2, P. d ". lot. located 300 feet little east of
north will lind the sand tomorrow The |
Alston well is panning out II inches an hour to-
night. A conservative estimate of the pro- |
ductiop for the past q hours Is e. $50 barrels. |
ST. MARY's-The drill has been started in |
the well on the Cunningham farm, short dis |
tance from the mouth of Mckim creek. Tie |
Middle Island well has reached a depth of |
about 200 feet, and if good luck continues it |
will not be many days before the well is COM |
pleted. The stockholders in the Riggs lot well |
have got into a dispute, IN consequence of |
which drilling for the present has been sus- |
pended. Little Gulch No. and Dutton have |
been cleared, and the drill is again bouncing in
both wells. Soma territory has recently been
leased near the forks of French creek, and with |
the opening of spring several new wells are |
contemplated being drilled. The progress at
the Laurel Point well has been impeded by
fishing job.
McCURpY-Melon, Gaily & Co.'s Riddle
well is not at the present writing showing for
much of fifth sand well. 1t is now below the
depth where the other big wells in this pool
found their oil, and from one of the owners
The DISPATCH scout was informed the old
Riddle would not make more than 2O-barrel
pumper. A special to The DISPATCH from
tonight says the well is about
through the sand and only 400 feet of oil in the
hole. The same parties, Scott No. will prob
think they will reach the pay in
Dougherty No. l. To-day the drill was started
in Riddle No. 2. while Dougherty No. 2 rig is
about completed. Their No. / Palmer is max
ing $50 barrels a day, and No. 2 Palmer 400 bar
rels day. Patterson d Jones within the next
10 days with ordinary luck will bring in five or
SIX wells which are located on the McCurdy
FAIRVIEw Murphy & Gaffney's well on
the Sutton, which found the pay Saturday, will
make good producer. Amos No. is on top
of the sand, while the tools have been lost in
ost well No. G. This well is close to the
sand, and had not this accident happened it
would have been in by this time. Sutton No. 2 |
is expected to get the sand in short time.
MANNINGToN-Matters oleaginous in the
Warrington field are keeping the even tenor of
their way. There is nothing of special moment
to chronicle, and some days will elapse before
any important wells are due Bent Bros No. 9
has got started to drilling again, and the tools
have been taken out of the Sine well. This
venture will soon find the interesting spot, the
result of which is awaited with no little inter-
est. Should it prove paying investment con-
siderable territory will be developed in this
locality the coming summer. A member of the
Logan Oil Company said to-day that his COM
pany contemplated doing quite a stroke of
work this season.
CoRAoPoLIS-Finegan d Downing No. 8
Nicely is in with 800 feet of oil in the hole. The
we'll is located 200 feet northwest of Logan 5.
Black Emerson's Snowwhite No. ! is good
for 20 barrels day, and their No. Curry will
make about the same kind of we'll
ANNIsvILLE-JohnM NJ. Patterson & Co. are
reported as in the third sand with their well on
the Daubenspeck farm, which is showing tor a
producer. This well is located three or four
miles southeast from the Murrln field and Is a
wildcat of the first water.
WEST VIEW-The Bowman well, on the
Scheidic farm, which came in yesterday after
noon with flying colors and record of Is bar
-els an hour, has declined to 10 barrels an hour
,o-night. II. Nc.
