ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHl
Moon, April 9-The Moon annex of the
Corsopolis field has so far as the drill has
demonstrated, been doomed out of all proper
iiOns. When one takes into consideration the
character and depth of the sand, the magnitude
of the pool is not discoverable. The sand is
of an inferior quality, and has but a depth OF
from y 10 ~ feet There are but four completed
wells here, which have daily aggregate pro-
duCriou of rs barrels.
The best well struck in this field is owned bv
the HerEey Oil Company on the McCutcheon
farm, and Is good for so barrels. No. Gosse
may be set down for so barrels, while the Mech
lin Oil COmpanys last venture on the Springer
is good for the same amount The Arctic Oil
Company have l5 natural barrel well on the
Stevenson farm, which may be increased to so
barrels by the eXhIlarating influence of Clycer-
Inc. By the best posted gentlemen on the belt
theory, itIs not thought that the Moon pool
has any connection with the COraupolis or
Thorne Run fields. The sands, while bearing
the same characteristics, have not conclusvely
proved connection with the old CoraOpolis
field.
Nothing New at Wildwood.
WILDwooD-This field to-day is utterly de-
void Of news. SO far as developments are con-
cerned. Calhoun & Patterson's wells, on the
Charles Gibson and Silas Sample farms, are
still drilling in fair sand with no showing of OIL
but the Gibson well Is showing considerable
gas and may yet be fair gasser. Gritiths and
top OF the sand this evening, and NAV be ex-
pected in at any time. 1t has also begun to rig
up on It's Nos. Il and Is, same farm, and also on
Its Ringheisen Nos. 5 and9
The Roth Oil Company will get the sand to-
morrow, barring any bad luck. Deibert d Co.
will tube their Sample lot well and test 1t to
ascertain its capacity. It flowed few times
when hrst drilled iE, but stopped. 1t looks
like a small producer. Christy & Co. have put
their first casing in their well near Heron sta
uOn. along the railroad track, and with good
luck will be III this month. This well is three
fOurths of a mile south of Staley & DcDonalds
well at Eberhart station ard 4 mile northeast
Of the Roth Oil Company's Ferguson well.
The southwest end of the field presents
busy appearance, although the mud is so deep
that the roads are almost impassabi-.
A Disappointment at Charters.
CHARTIERs-Cbartiers, which a few days
ago showed up so brilliantly with i big well on
the " ard farm, has relapsed into obscurity by
the Elk Oil Company's No. 5 on the Sculley.
Where il should have got much oil in the
Gordon sand, this well encountered nothing
but slate, and the probabilities are that they
VIII hnd no better digging below. The Patter-
son and Jennings well on the Ward farm is re-
ported tonight as doing l2O barrels day.
A Deep Well Being Drilled.
HAIGHT's STATIoN-The East Deer Oil Com
pany, Two miles north of tins place, is drilling
a well OF the Dick farm. 1t has now attained
a depth of . 400 feet. The company will driIl on
TO the Bradford SANDS. They got a small flow
of gas al a depth of $50 feet. but not OF any
commercial value.
Near the Interesting Point.
GLESsHAw-The Hassinger well, owned by
the Messrs. WIttmer and their Southside
friends is said to be nearing the sand this even
ing.
No Luck for a Wildcat.
WAMPUM, Lawrence county-The Wildcat
well near this place, IS drilling in the IOO-foot
sand, with no indications of oil McC
