Butler county, Pennsylvania,
can now boast of having one of
the biggest oil wells in America.
The big gusher is located within
three miles of the town Of But
Ter to the west. The well is stu
ated on a tract of land owned by
DR.. O. K. Waldon, and purchased
by him from the Elmer heirs sew
eral years ago. The new strike
was in played-out hundred foot
gas well, drilled down to the
fourth sand. The owners of the
gusher are Isaac Mcbride. famil-
iarly known among oil men as
"Spotty" Mcbride: Peter F. Nc
Cool, recently of Pittsburg: VIM,
Hinchberger, of Butler, and Mich
ael Finnegan, Of Pittsburg.
Mcbride took the lease, organ
lied the company and started to
drill the well as a Wildcat ven
ture. Last Thursday Mcbride put
the bit to the top of the fourth
sand and seeing signs of oil, which
long experience told him were
good, quietly shut down and huS-
tied around to get a few more
leases. It's good showing was
kept secret. -
Monday morning drilling was
resumed and the well began to
flow almost as soon as the sand
was penetrated. A few more feet
drilling sent the fluid spOutin9

hundreds Of barrels Of oil flowed
down a hollow and away on a lit
tie stream before controllers could
be put in place. Then the one
tank erected was soon filled at the
rate Of 40 barrels an hour. The

oil was shut in until a 250-barrel
tank, which had been commenc-
ed, was completed. Again the
golden stream was let loose and
the big tank was filled in a little
over an hour. Old and cOnserv.
ative oil men say the well is now
flowing at the rate of little over
100 barrels an hour.
The best feature of the big
strike is the good fortune it brings
to "Spotty" Mcbride. Twenty
years ago he was successful for a
time in the Thorn Creek field,
where his brother, Kerr Mcbride,
struck one of the largest wells on
record. He has helped to drill
scores of dry holes, and two years
ago had become so poor that he
was selling potato peelers on the
street. For a time he also dug
bitches to support his family. But
now all is to the good with him.
Mcbride is said to have retain
ed one-half of the lease. McCool
has one-fourth, Hinchberger one
sixteenth and Finnegan three-six-
teenths.
Oil men believe the well is To-
Gated on a narrow fourth sand
streak running east and west.
Several wells were drilled in years
ago in the neighborhOod, and it
seems impossible for the new field
to be of large extent. However,
oil men are making a desperate
scramble for leases and thousands
of dollars in bonus are being Of
fered for parts of farms near the
strike. People in buggies and on
horseback, bicycles and on foot,
have visited the well since it be-
gan flowing.
