A GUSHER ON THE RINGENHEISEN
FARM AT WILDWOOD.

The Big McCurdy Wells Still Holding Up
Tho Northeast Whitesen Farm Well at
Wildwood Increased to Fifty Barrels
an Hour-Cieneral News.
Outside of the McCurdy and Wildwood oil
fields there was nothing to interest the
operntor. These two fields, however, made
up for any lack of interest in other quarters.
The early trains to these localities carried
extra large loads of men who follow
the producing business. At McCurdy they
found the two big wells which were reported
in the morning papers still putting out tanks
full of oil every few hours. The Foster Oil
Company's HacEett & Shirley well, on the
W. Z. Riddle lot, was rated Mt so barrels an
hour by the owners, while the Gillespie No.
!, on the Jane Riddle, l25 feet north, was only
a few barrels behind.
