mouth of Bucks Run, one mile north
of Smithfeld, in Harrison county,
which came in this forenoon is gush-
err 1t started off at the enormous rate
of ESQ barrels per hour, and late this
evening was reported as increasing.
The well is about half mile north of
the development, and is causing no lit
tie excitement among the farmers in
the vicinity. The expectation was
that this would be dry hole, but it is
among the leaders in the State.

employ of the Fisher Oil Company,
working on their No. well on the
Pile farm, over on the Ohio side, lit
VIC ocloW ILLS CITY, was oCiiouSiy IL ho'
fatally burned last night. 1t seems
that the well had just reached the pay
when it made large flow of oil and
before Hugalland could get away he
was severely burned. The tool-dresser
working with him was slightly burned,
and the rig was consumed by the
flames.
The Eastern Oil Company's well on
the Williamson farm is due to reach
the pay tonight or early in the morn
ing.
Word was received here this after
noon to the effect that the we'll being
drilled by Bortorff and others on the
H. M. Verden farm, back of Friendly,
on Middle Island creek, has reached
the pay and is dry. However, this re-
port could not be confirmed. If it is
true that the well is dry, it will con-
denim big block of territory out in
that section much of which is held by
Sistersyille spectators.
Up to late hour this evening moth
ing had been heard from the wells
drilling near the Big Injun sand in the
Indian creek district.
