METROPOLITAN WELL A spOUTER.
Abandoned Hole Gets Beyond Control
and Cuisines over Derrick.

That oil wells are capable of spring
ing surprises was evidenced Tuesday
morning when the report reached town
that Metropolitan No. 1, the we'll be-
longing to the Mobile Syndicate which
was recently sold at public auction
and which had been abandoned for
several months, was gushing over the
derrick. The report was not of the
vague rumor variety that so frequent
ly emanates from some over-zealous
enthusiast, but was confirmed by the
we'll itself giving a splendid exhibition
of it's gushing propensities.
1t came in the nature of surprise
to those employed about the we'll as
no one supposed it would develop q
gusher.
J. w. Embry, manager in charge,
in conversation with newspaper
man, said that the we'll had been thor
oughly washed preparatory to putting
in a new screen Tuesday, but because
of a. delay in shipment the screen did
not arrive at the field until 10 O'Clock
Monday night. Shortly thereafter
the we'll began flowing over the stand
pipe and continued during the night,
Tuesday morning when the men re-
sumed work at the we'll it began
spouting, and kept increasing until g
height of fifty feet above the seventy.
| FIVE foot derrick was reached. This
! however, was not constant, as al
times there would be lull when the
pressure would diminish. Shortly be
fore O'Clock, after repeated unsuc
cessful efforts, a gate valve Wa!
placed on the stand pipe and the vel
was at once closed.
| Because OF the damaged screen tina
was the direct cause Of the we'll having
been abandoned, much mud and sane
were thrown out, but the combination
was we'll tinctured with the unctiou
fluid.
/ Wednesday afternoon the gas pres
| sure was as strong as ever and no az
tempt was made to insert the nev
screen. Yesterday Mr.. Embry con
nected pipe to the stand pipe and tn
we'll will be permitted to gush into
reservoir until it becomes choked wit
sand or the gas subsidies sufficient
to allow the new screen to be put in.
This we'll is 900 feet deep, has
cased hole the entire distance and
fitted up with four inch screen. TT
. new screen is three and half inchc
and will be placed inside of the Of
screen.
The fact that Metropolitan No.
has developed a producer of the gus
err variety after remaining idle for q
most year, will give the Welsh fie
a new impetus and encourage furth
development.

There will be 99l delegates at the
Democratic national convention. 1t
will require 6G3 to nominate. So far
Parker has 1872 delegates, Hearst 80,
Olney - and German 20. The New

which it is said Parker has a hand in
m%aking-has hurt him seriously and
there has been a big slump in Parker
stock in consequence. But Hearst is
not making any particular Roadway,
and altogether it looks favorable for a
dark horse.
