WILDWOOD, Jan. 11.-Grifith, located
on the Joseph Richie farm, northwest from
Wildwood, and who had his rig burned
down by gas, is building another, and will
soon be ready to start the drill again. The
we'll will have to be drilled 200 feet deeper
before the rock he is hunting for is found.
1t was reported that the well on the Hill
farm had found good showing of oil, but
further than this nothing more is known
about the well outside OF the owners. The
Rothe Oil Company's production up to the
first OF January from the Harbush, Bryant
and Kretzer farms was about 3S3, 800 barrels.
Forst & Greenlee's production from Rolse-
house farm for the month of December ap-
proximated 81, 900 barrels Following are
the gauges of some of the important wells:
Barnsdall & Co., Kress No. lilo inches per

Barnsdall & Co.. Kress No. 3-l6 inches per

second pay but not large.
The Wallace we'll. according to the general
verdict. is no good. Rolsehouse, Gutfy q
Queene No. is on top the sand and will soon
reach the pay. Harbush No. s is not the only
we'll that has been drilled down to the second
pay on the southwest line. The record shows

Croft farm, located half a mile south OF Craig,
Phillips & Co. No. l, John Martin farm, are 50
feet in the sand and still drilling. The well was
drilled in wet, found IL feet of fair to middling
sand, and she owners are sanguine of having
nice pumper when completed. J. s. Patterson
No. ]. Samuel Kaufman farm, was shot yester-
day and bridged over, and nothing definite can
be told about this well until the bridge is broke
and the well drilled in. Like all the wells
drilled in this field, this one was drilled wet.
She is now so feet in the sand. and may possibly
be small well when completed.
l. o. o. F. Oil Company No. ], on the T. Dun
bar farm, are in the sand and still working the
drill. The well is showing small indications of
oil, and may possibly make small well. but 1t
will certainly be small, as this particular corner
has not been prolific of gushers.
The Geohring & Co. well, on the Irwin lot
which gave this field its boom some four weeks
ago by starting off at 400 barrels a day. had de-
clined to $50 barrels, but on Saturday was
drilled little deeper and increased its pro-
duction to 525 barrels day.
GLADE RUN-rhis field remains quiet, a
couple of drilling wells about comprising the
new work, and when these are completed 1t
looks now as though the drill would come to a
dead standstill as far as this particular field or
locality Is concerned. The Forest are running

among the old wells. Their No. 3 Sutton is

make a fair well when the water is exhausted,
as she showed pretty good specimens of sand
Jack White d Co. hit it again rich on the
Martin Benin farm. Their latest venture, re-
Gently completed, is doing close 100 barrels per
day. 1t is thought by many that White must
carry mascot. How this is we are not able to
say. But to our knowledge he has had great
run of lack down on the Big Creek.
