ESPECIAL TELEGRAN TO THE DIsPArcH.
WILDWOOD. March 26.-Matters at
Wildwood are unimportant to-day. Gly-
cerine is now the important factor here.
Gify & Co. shot their No. Runga, which,
as usual in this section of the field, resulted
in big improvement The Sunline Oil
Company got the sand to-day on the Hardy
farm, and should hit the pay tomorrow.
Whitehall No. II is doing 70 barrels to-
night, and No. 4 Hess is through the
sand and dry. This we'll is being
drilled to the fourth sand. Patterson
Calhoun are building rig on the Il. Sample
farm, and Duva & Beers have timbers on
the ground on the Kyle farm for No. 2 Forst
Greenlee No. l Alston. which has been shot,
is doing 35 barrels an hour. Evans Mande-
vile shot their No. l Wright which is doing
from 80 to 100 barrels.
Perhaps the most important well in the Wild
wood field is that of Roth & Janney, on the
Ferguson farm. This we'll is in the sand and
shut down, the boiler being moved out. Christie
& Co. are building rig at Heron station.
Seeking a New Clarion Pool
CLARION coUNTY-Clarioa county, which a
few years ago was an important factor in the
production of petroleum, is SO to speak, not in
it now. Around the town OF Clarion, where at
one time gushers we're the order of the day,
there is not a single well drilling.
There is an attempt being made. however, by
the old home syndicate which opened the Fair
Lucinda. to find lead-off mile and quar-
ter from the old defunct pool. South
west OF Edenburg. near Triangle, a home CON-
Dany is doing some new work. At West Free
dom and Sligo there are one or two wells being
drilled. Crofford d MCDANIEL in the old Gag
ley field, have lately been successful in getting
some very nice wells. These men have in view
other operations, while Berlin & Sons will, as
soon as the roads improve. drill several wells.
Northeast of Turkey City, soon as spring
opens. there will be limited amount of work.
Glycerine New Feature at NJ cCurdy.
MCCURDY.-The introduction of glycerine
in the McCurdy field is a new feature, and tells
the story Of waning pool. The McCurdy well
No ? is reported through the fourth sand and
no good in this formation. The Porter farm
well, beyond question, is through the sand and
dry. McCurdy No. 5 has been finished, and is
good for 100 barrels day. The Forbes Oil
Company is drilling in the Gordon sand. while
Nos. l and 2Palmer, which we're shot yester-
day and started off at 80 and 40 barrels an hour,
respectively, tonight are doing 800 and 500 bar
rels day.
New Developments in Forest County.
FOREST COUNTY In Forest county, near
Sheffield Junction, there are considerable new
developments, and prospect of a rival field.
This place is in Howe township. on the line of
the PlttS0urg and western Railroad. captain
Jones, the heavy producer of Bradford. has
made investments here. and is doing quite
streak of work. At present Mr.. Jones is run
ming ivs strings of tools, while the other opera
tors in the pool swell the aggregate to y drill
ing wells. The wells here do from 10 TO 40 bar
rels day.
One Poor and One Fair Well.
MCDoNALD-The Robb farm well is not pro-
crossing very fast at present. Its owners are
pulling the six-inch casing and roaming down.
The well on the Stoddard farm is drilling at
the bottom of the Gordon sand, and has goou
supply OF the caloric fluid.
PETERSvILLE-The five wells on 10 acres of
the Graham heirs property, near Petersville,
Butler county, recently disposed of by e. ID.
Angel to Breed and sherman, made gross
production in 235 days preceding the sale OF
74,0S5 barrels, daily average of 3l5 barrels.
