WILDWOOD. Jan. 26.-The only new fea-
ture in the Wildwood field to-day is the
falling off of the Kennedy and Bowman wells
on the north line. which does not make this
quarter of the field look so rosy as it did
few DAYS ago. The Kennedy we'll is down
to five barrels an hour, while the Bowman
gasser was drilled deeper without any i'm
provement The we'll is now Is feet in the
sand, and unless they soon find better dig
ging it is feared that the much talked of
second pay will never materialize.
The same company is building another
rig east of the gasser, which attests their
faith in the territory. Kennedy & Co.
have located three more rigs, while Chri site
& Co. are down 700 feet on the Nancy Glib
son farm and Black s Co. are starting two
wells on the McMurray farm. Greenlee q
Forst's six-acre we'll has declined to S5 bar
rels an hour, and Barnsdall & Co. s No
Kress is doing 81 barrels an hour. j. M.
Guffy & Co.'S No. 1 Rolsehouse is doing Z
inches an hour; No. 2, ~ inches; No. 3, IL
inches; No. 4. Is inches. and No. 5, 13
inches.
The same company's No. 1, Runga, has
dropped to five inches an hour, and their
Nos. 2 and 8, same farm, will most likely
find the pay the last of the week. They are
building rigs for Nos. and 5, on the same
property, and are spndding in Charles Kretzer

AGood Wild Cat Producer.
CoRAoPoLIs-Messrs. Finegan & Downing

farm. One and half miles southwest from
the most advanced Coraopolis development
there has been a wild cat well producing for
about two months on the Jacob Goss farm
about which very little is known has been
said. This well has produced three 250-barrel
tanks OF oil, and is regarded as an important
venture. The well is 20lS feet deep, and the
sand is considered the same as the Coraopolis
formation, The pipe line people are laying a
hne to the new venture. which will be COM

in "A hours, and has a bad fishing job in No. 2 |
on the same farm. The well is in the sand and |
showing for 50 barrels day. Snee & Co. No 2 |

MCKEEsPoRT-John Snee & Co. are drilling |
o wildcat well at Dead Mans Hollow one mile |
northeast from McKeesport, which is now in |
the l00-foot with a big dose of salt water. The |
well was located for big gasser in the Gordon |

is an important one and is being watched with |
interest.

Davis farm, six miles in advance of Ackerly &
Sammelrs development, will be drilled deeper
and shot as soon as they fish out part of string
