Another Good Well Opened.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE
American Window Glass Company has
completed its No. 1 well on the Malotte
farm. five miles north of this city, in wild
cat territory, that greatly interests oil OPP
orators and proves beyond doubt that the
Hartford City oil field is of wide dlmen-
siOns. The nearest well to the new pro-
ducer is nearly two miles, and this leaves
a wide scope of territory for operations in
every direction. While the we'll is flowing
greatly in excess of this, yet Ii Is thought
IL will settle down to a daily production OF
twenty-five barrels. The many new wells
coming in in new territory north of this
city has greatly increased operations and
attracted a number of Eastern operators
TO this city.
