OIL NEWS FROM OTHER LOCALITIES

OIL NEWS FROM OTHER LOCALITIES
The interest in Wildwood, which has been
tagging for some time, has been thoroughly
revived. McCurdy is also again being talked
about, and yesterday nothing was heard in
the oil operators resorts except questions
about these two fields. AS predicted yes
terday morning in THE DISPATCH, the
Roth Oil Company's W. W. Mcintyre
will be a good well. The contractor
was in Pittsburg last evening, and
is authority for the statement that it
| flowed every hour yesterday and that it is
only two or three feet in the sand. Although
it has not been drilled any deeper, the flows
are Increasing. 1t is claimed that the gas is
/ drilling it in. The owners asserted last
night that it is at least 2O0-barrel well. 1t
makes the field in that direction look much
more hopeful, and inside of the next two
weeks there will be enough wells in that
vicinity to pretty thoroughly test the di-
| mensions of the spur.
The Smith Oil Company's we'll on the
James Mcintyre is located 120 rods east of
| it and is down 1000 feet. The Roth Oil
Company's Smith farm well, 26O rods east,
is in the 3O-foot, and the Etna Oil Company
is starting well on the John Lindow farm
