Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind, June N.-An in
crease of eight in operations in the Indiana
oil field for the month of June is a good
showing and the prospects are more than
good for the pushing of the drill in all
fields of the State outside of the old gas
field. where the operators are afraid to VEN
ture at the present time. While there is an
increase in completed wells, there is also an
increase in the new production of one hum
dred barrels, and one more dry hole than
there were during May. During the month
the casing was pulled from twenty-five
wells and they were abandoned. The rig and
other material were used for the drilling of
other wells and was a great saving of hard
ware and lumber bills. There are fifty-four
wells drilling and the same number of rigs
up and ready for the drill. and should they
all be completed during the month of july
1t would then be healthy increase over the
present month. The price has made slight
advance during the month and 1t Is hoped
by the trade that 1t will soon go to the dol
lar mark although they would be satisfied
should it advance to at least 20 cents. The
average per we'll per day, for June, was
rs SO barrels, only slight decline from the
May report The Bread Ripple field was the
most prominent during the month and mas
to it's credit the largest number of wells
completed and the largest production. Wa
bash county holds second place, with eight
wells completed and the second best in pro-
duction. Other counties are about holding
their own and have, for the past several
months. The indications are that consider
able work will be done west from this city,
in Washington township, Blackford county.
where some good wells are being completed.
The last we'll completed by Ludwig & Nc
Donald on the Leonard farm, started at 25O
barrels. and the Manhattan Oil Companys
venture on the Templeton farm, that
started at two hundred barrels, would make
one feel as if there were a field of no mean
Importance in that section. The following
summary shows the work of the drill for
