and is considered to be one of the most i'm
portant now drilling i'll the field.

That Near Town Mystery.
TEMPERANCEvILLE-The well of Smith &
Hayden on the Carson farm, a mile south

There was a report last night that Dennis
ton & Co. had reached the sand in a well
which they are drilling northeast Of
Zelfenople, and 1,0OJ feet from
Kennedy 6 Co.'S well, on the Eicholtz farm,
and had come in as big as the latter, but the
rumor could not be verified.

- hOU uOihH Ouiy ufO UuIrCiS du uOuEs
In the Buckwheat County.
BUTLKR-The new and recent sensations
that have been sprung up in this county have
been decidedly short lived. They have had
some few wells that were capital starters
but soon quit. The Kennedy well on the
Echoltz farm, near Zelienople got up and
made a great flourish to start with
when drilled to the second pay, but
they drilled It into the salt water and It Is
now producing saline fluid instead of OIL
1t will not make better than l0O-barrel well
when put to pumping The Gibson well, on
the Mckinley farm, north of Butler town,
may make a small producer, but there will
not be any fancy prices paid for the stuff. A
halfinterest in the well and lease was sold
yesterday for 81 900, which would lead one to
think the owners do not have great deal Of
faith in the well or lease.
