A BIT OF GOOD NEWS.
CoraOpOlis Developing Into a Fine
Field of Natural Gas.
TWILL SURELY BOOM PITTSBURG.
No Startling News From Any of the Big
Petroleum Fields.
AN INJUNCTION CASE is SETTLED

To-day has been an off day in the way of
news from the oil fields. Even Wildwood,
from which something is expected almost
every day, failed to present anything new or
startling to the trade. Barnsdall & Gillespie's
No. 6, on the Zeigenheim, should, with no
bad luck, reach the sand by Saturday, and
No. Kress should also be in by Tuesday or
Wednesday next. Their No. 3, on the same
farm, was stirred up this morning, which
increased the output from "a to 40 inches an
hour. Their No. z Kress was iG the sand
last night and has made several flows, but as
no gauge has been taken, the caliber of the
well cannot be determined. Yet from its loca-
tion, it should be good well.
J. NJ. Guffy Co.'s No. 4, Roleshouse was
making so inches an hour last night. They
shot No. s, same farm, yesterday with good re-
suits. The Bowman gasser will be drilled IN to-
day. BaTnsdal & Gillespie drilled their No.
on the Kress to the second pay, and it is now
doing AZ inches an hour.
Good News for Pittsburg.
CoRAoPoLIs-From present indications, the
Coraopolis field may yet prove boon to Pitts.
burg. As noted some time ago in The DIS
PATCH, the fifth sand horizon in Allegheny
county is not only prolific in oil but also in gas.
This latter fact was fully demonstrated yester-
day at Coraopolis by Black Emerson, who
drilled their well on the Jolly lot to the fifth
sand and were rewarded with a rip-roaring
Easser. This is the second gas>er of Importance
found in this field. and the possibilities that be
hidden in mother earth so near great manu-
featuring CITY cannot be estimated.
BAKERsTowN - Dryhole Frederick has at
last broken his record, a fact that his many
friends will be glad to learn. 1t is now settled
beyond doubt, that Mr.. Frederick has good
producer on the Garrow farm In the old Gould
district.
Mlllson Co. will have well in tomorrow
on the William Jack farm. The same parties
are in the salt sand with their No. ? on the same
farm. They have well drilling in the hundred

sons on the Wesley Monks farm are building

The p. p. A. Meeting.
The Pittsburg local assembly of the P. P. A.
held meeting tonight, and number of new
members joined A prominent P. P. A. man
informed THE DISPATCH scout that the inde-
pendent producers were quietly organizing all
over the oil regions, and that meeting of the
General Assembly would not be called until
every detail had been arranged. The following
as the sum and substance of what prominent
southwest producer has to offer on the situa-
tion:
The independent producers, to succeed in
any moyemsn snt, must first consider that any
party controlling the transportation of any
product will have the control of that product;
and any movement among the producers must
have that end in view. II the producers would
form company with 10. 600 barrels per day
production, with that as paid up capital, they
could pay large dividend, and in one year
have seaboard pipe line, beside having sur
plus to keep up the production"
Plenty of Water at Harmony.
HARMoNY-The Harmony field. like all the
Hundred-foot territory. is noted for the flow of
water, and all the wells are drilled wet, which
makes the production somewhat problematical
until the water has been greatly exhausted. 1t
is generally thought, however that it is better
10 let the wells i1ow through the casing than to
tube and pump them. The Younkins. Dale &
Thompson well, on the NJ. Zeigler farm, is in
the sand and looks good for about so barrels
When the Cunningham & Latshaw well, on the
krenzer lot came in Tuesday, the Niece well,
on the keefer lot which adjoins it, stopped
flowing. This well had been making 75 barrels
q day, besides any quantity of wafer. When it
started the second time, however it flowed
