ESPECIAL TKLEGRAh 10 THE DIsPA ATcH.l
WILDWOOD, March 1s-The southwest
line has not been characterized to-day by
any gushers, and there is no material change
from The DIsPATCH's last report Neither
the Kretzer nor the Kyle wells show any
improvements, and it is questionable whether
they will do SO when drilled through the
sand. From present indications there is
more truth than poetry in Mr.. Preston's
conclusions of this quarter of the
field. The Forest Oil Company
and Guffy & Queene's Kretzer has declined
from 80 barrels an hour to 25 barrels an hour,
and the McGInnis well, on deeper drilling. has
been increased to 200 barrels day. Griffith

but at present is not deep enough for results.

well on the Scott lots, and Rolsehouse & Co.
