A THIRD SAND FOR THE HUNDRED FOOT.

The Millison well on the English farm near
Perrysville, which was the talk of the oil
circles Monday, is now looked upon as a
failure. 1t was stated Monday evening by
the owners that it had made six flows
Sunday, and four the following after
noon. TaE DISPATCH scout visited the
well yesterday and was informed by one
of the proprietors that the well had made
two flows during the morning. The indica-
tions in the vicinity of the well were tnat
t had not put out over 10 or 10 barrels OF oil
altogether, possibly not that much. The
driller on tour said that il had not flowed
during the day, but that it might do SO this
week; if not, he said it would probably
make flow next week. He was
cleaning it out, and Judging from the sand
line there was from 500 to 600 feet of fluid in
the hole. Half OF this was water. Tne tank
had not been connected. The oil is black,
and a number of oil men who were on the
ground stated that from surface indications
It would not make over a five or at most q
l0-barrel well. One mile east aof it on the
DIR. Lindley farm are two abandoned
wells, which were drilled about a year ago.
\ mile and a half west of the English farm
well is the Wright farm well, which was
duster. Wildwood is two and a half miles
northeast from it, and the Espy gasser is the
nearest in that direction.
Tool Manufacturers Meet.
The Drilling Tool Manufacturers Associa-
tion met yesterday at the Hotel An
OerSOn. ne injecting WIS C1lleu loI
the purpose of learning the grievances
OF a number of firms which are desirous of
Withdrawing from the association. Among
these are Castlernan & Acl1erly, of Lima.
The matter was laid before the meeting and
committee was appointed with instructions
10 inquire into the grievances and report
in two weeks President Seyfang said that
the question of wages had been discussed,
and the prevailing sentiment seemed to be
that prices should be increased if changed
on account of the advance in the articles
used in the manufacture OF tools. Labor, he
said, has increased ten per cent within the
last few years. The price list was not
changed yesterday.
