IN THE CHIPMUNK VALLEY.

The Biggest Well Struck in tho Bradford
| Region in Years Game in at ESQ Barrels.
Special to the Register.
Bradford, Pa, May 5.-The biggest
oil strike Of this section since the reac-
ton after the great excitement some
! years ago, is the Colegrave, Newton &
Johnson well, on Chipmunk run.
1t was drilled into the sand last Fri
day and began producing the greasy
fluid at the rate of 27 barrels per hour,
or nearly $50 barrels per day.
To-day it declined to four barrels per
hour and an effort will be made to
| increase 1t. There is great excitement
| among the lease owners of the Chip
munk valley over the lucky strike.
Sistersville, w. Va. May 5.-Since
the Victor Oil Co. drilled in their well
on the Smith farm out near Hebron,
excitement runs high and people are
scrambling over one another to secure
land in that vicinity. This well came
in for 200 barrels a day and has de-
creased very little, if any. This COM
pany has been making some good
strikes out in this territory lately
| Their No. /, which was agitated this
morning and which flowed in the neigh
| borhood of so barrels per hour, for a
short time, has now fallen back into its
old gait of 80 barrels per day. Their
well on the Gibbon farm, in the same
district, came in good for probably IS
| barrels per day. They have three more
wells in this field which they expect to
get into pay this week.
| The Devonian Oil Co. has three wells
near the Big Moses, on top of the sand,
and expect them in some time tonight
on tomorrow.
Guffey & Co.'S No. Z, on the Pitts
farm out near Wick, is maintaining
the output for which it was reported
good, 20 barrels per hour.
The developments going on in this
! territory are assuming vast proportions.
Yesterday exactly seventeen car loads
OF oil we'll supplies were received by the
dealers in this city, who are behind in
many of their orders. These articles
will be placed out in the field as rapid
ly as the teams can be procured. There
were also seven car loads of supplies,
! tubing, casing, rigs, boilers, engines,
etc., shipped out of here to-day for par
ties up and down the river
The big gusher which an evening con-
temporary publishes with stratling
headlines proves to be only an S0-barrel
well and the property of the Devonian
Oil Company and not of the Victor, as
they state. Tis well is on the Doc.
Staley farm. over 600 feet from the Vic
tors lease, the VIM. Stealey farm. Up
to five o'clock this evening she is main
tanning steady output as above stated.
The pipe line people have made connec-
| tions ar i are taking care of the oil.
A fe'E unknown parties were out on
Rock ft.h, IN The ST. Siary's field, to-
day, and made three locations on that
! stream.
T. n BarnsdalPs we'll in the Israel
farm, on Rock run, is expected to reach
| the pay within the next few days.
Stephens e Co. have the rig up for
| Hunter No. 2, in the Waverly field, and
will commence spudding tomorrow.
