THE MlLLIS0N WELL.
CONFLICTING REPORTS IN CIRCULATION
REGARDING IT.

II Is Said to Be.Good for so Barrels, and 1t
Is Also Reported as Standing Full of Oil
Wells Due at McCurdy Pipe Line
Statements.
The feature of the oil fields yesterday was
the Millison well on the English farm three
and a half miles west of the extreme south
west point of the Wildwood field, and a mile
and half northwest from PerTys-
VILE. The reports from it were conflicting.
1t WAS shot Saturday, and early yesterday
morning it was rumored around the oil
offices that it had maze six heavy flows
Sunday, and that it had been shut in until
tankage could be gotten on the lease. A
number of producers started Immediately to
visit the well, and last evening one of them
who was apparently acting as spokesman for
the owners stated that 1t was good for 30
barrels a day and possibly more. This re-
port was denied by driller who asserted
that the well had not made a flow, but that
there were 200 feet of oil in the hole
The well is an important one to the
trade if it should prove good,
as the nearest wells to it are, oyer
three miles to the eastward. 1t looks like
an extension of Wildwood, and the inter-
mediate territory is being rapidly covered
by scouts who are leasing all the open Land
available.
