THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, 'TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1890.-
TO-DAY MAY DECIDE
The Future Prospects of the Gas Well
at the Exposition.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT DISCOVERT.
A Gentleman Who Wants the City to Go
Into Easiness.
THE LITEST FEOM THE OIL CENTERS
The Exposition gas well was not drilled
any yesterday and work will not be resumed
until noon to-day. There is no little interest
centered in the result of deeper drilling, and
in the next 24 hours the drill will in all
probability tell the story.
There is one other important feature in
connection with the well and that is the
B-foot Tcin of coal discovered at 640 feet.
In a conversation with F. L. Grnbbs, of the
Oil "Well S apply Company, he said to The
Dispatch fcoiu that in his opinion the
most important event connected with the
drilling of the Exposition well was the dis
covery of a vein of superior Pittsburg coal
which evidently underlies the cities ot Pitts
burs snd Allegheny and the river beds, at
a depth that would assure the successful
working of it by a shaft at a nominal cost.
Continuing Jilr. Grubbs said: "What is
to prevent the city ot Pittsburg from applv
ing to the Legislature ior a franchise to
mine coal laying under the three river beds
by sinking a shaft at the Point, and going
into the coal mining business on their own
hook. The franchise would obviate the ne
cessitv of purchasing the mining privileges
from the thousands of property owners in
the cities, and would give the Gas City the
right to undermine public domain."
This scheme was successfully carried out by
a company ontheToughiogheny river above
Connellsville some years ajo, and to-day
that river is tunneled "for miles. Jlr. Grubbs
claims that his plan is feasible, and if oper
ated on business principles, it would result
in a great boon for Pittsburg, and would
not only be an important factor in liquidat
ing the bonded indebtedness of the city, but
the revenue derived from the staple would
soon give Pittsburg reduced taxation, free
bridges and free water. This plan, of course,
would in no way interfere with the develop
ment of gas. In speaking of the gasscr at
the Point, it is hut just to remark that the
Oil Well Snpply Company are entitled to the
credit of the discovery. These people, at their
own expense when tne exhibition closed,
did not shut the well down, but continued
drilling. They were led to do so by their
knowledge of the geological formation of this
"vicinity, together with the record they pos
sessed of the old llaller. Beck & Co. salt
well drilled some 15 or 20 years ago just
across the river from the Exposition grounds,
and in which a flow of gas was struck suf
ficient to snppiy their evaporators ever since.
Something of a Surprise.
"Wildwood Another surprise was
ehronicied in this field on Saturday, but at
such a late hour that few of the trade knew
of it. The surprise was occasioned by the
cleaning out and deeper drilling of the old
Whitesell 2so. 2, owned by W. E. Griffiths
and the Forest Oil Company. The well has
produced upward of 200,000 barrels of oil up
to date and had settled down to abont
2M barrels per day, and after being
drilled a short time on Saturday re
sponded with an output of 100 barrels
per hour, and is still holding up good.
Bowman & Co.'s Whitesell Uo. l.in which
the gas right was formerly sold to the Bridge
water Xatural Gas Company has began to
produce oil. They are now erecting an iron
tank, and other wooden tankage with a view
to saving the oil. ' It is estimated
by prominent operators who have seen the
well that it is now producing at the rate of
100 barrels of oil per day, and is yet a very
lame gasser.
Barnsdall, Gillespie & Co.'s No. 2 Kress
well came in this morning, but owing to the
tact that a gauge has not yet been taken it
is impossible to say what the well will do,
but in anv event it will make u good pro
ducer. The rope whipped off this atternoon
and the tools arc now in the hole.
Since the drilling in of Miller, Shay &
Co.'s Funk well No. 2 the P.oth Oil Com
pany's Kretzer No. 2 has fallen to one inch
per Lour. The Itoth Oil Company's Kretzer
No 4 is reported through the sand and dry.
They are drilling the well deeper, expecting
to get something in a deeper sand.
The Smith Oil Company drilled their No.
7 deerer this morning and at noon was mak
ing nine inches per hour. This well is lo
cated about 500 Jeet north of their No. 3 and
is the furthest producer northeast on the 45
line. Griffiths and the Forest Oil Com
pany's No. 4 weli on the Smith farm were
on top of the sand this forenoon and expect
to get the pay before morning; this well is
located 300 feel west of Smith Oil Com
pany's No. 7 uhich came in this morning.
Forst & Co. expect to get the sand in their
McGeach lot well No. 1 this week or not
later thau the first of next week.
Forest Oil Companv arc down 1,250 feet in
their Eunga well No. 1. Griffiths & Miller
and Foreit Oil Company arc down 1,150 feet
in their KingheisonNo.2. Ireland & Hushes
leased ten acres off tlie south end of the Bry
ant f.irm at Bryant station, and are getting
up a rig; they will have the drill bouncing
bv next week.
J. G. Ilolschoue is getting ready to start a
wildcat well three miles'souttiwest from
Wildwood developments and two miles
north from Perryville, on the Archie Alston
farm, adjoining the William Grnbbs farm,
on which a gas well was struck three weeks
ago. Following is a gauge of some of the
wells: Governor Pattison, Itolsehouse,
No. 1, 20 inches an hour; No 2, Kolsehouse.
Gufly, Queen & Co., 5 inches an hour,
and No. 3, same farm and company. 24
inches an hour; Barnsdall & Co., No. 3,
Zeigenhcim, 3 inches an hour, and their
No. 1 Kress 20 inches an hour. The produc
tion ot the field to-day is estimated at be
tween 9,000 and 10,000 barrels a dav.
Mr. W. E. Griffiths, the pioneer of the
Wildwood oil development, left for Denver,
Col., on last Friday night, and expects to be
gone for one week. It being a businees trip,
at the expiration ot that time he will return
and resume his post at the helm. Mr. Grif
fiths carries with him the best wishes of the
fraternitv.

THE WORLD'S FAIR.
VICE PBESmOTT BBYAH GIVES OT SIX
THOUSAND D0ILABS OF HIS PAT.
An Ultimatum Agreed Upon by Which the
Illinois Central Tracks Are to be Bun
Along the Lake Front in a Tunnel.
Chicago, Dec. 15. Vice President
Bryan, ot the local World's Fair Associa
tion, was some time ago voted a salary of
$12,000 per annum, on the understanding
that he would devote his entire time to the
work in hand. The reorganization of the
work under bureaus since that time has
rendered it unnecessary for him to give his
exclusive attention to World's Fair matters,
so he to-day announced that he had decided
to accept only $G,000 of the salary voted
him.
The chief question involved in the use of
the Lake Front Park for World's Fair pur
poses has been the disposition of the tracks
of the Illinois Central Railroad. As at
present located, they make the use of filled
land beyond them impracticable, and thus
far it has been impossible to agree upon any
plan to obviate the difficulty. The abutting
property owners, the World'b Fair directory,
and a committeeof the Councils have finally,
however, agreed upon an ultimatum which
will be submitted to the Illinois Central.
The plan contemplates a subteiranean ar
cade right ot way 300 feet wide from Monroe
street to Twenty-second.
The tracks are to be sunk until the top of
the right of way, or arcade, shall be on a
level with Michigan avenue. This will put
them out of sight. The west line of the new
right of way is to be contiguous to the east
line of the present right of way. The rail
road company is also to be given the priv
ilege of filling in the submerged lands of
Monroe street to the government dock line,
and in consideration for this privilege the
company gives up its present right of way
to Twenty-second street and whatever claim
it may have to the three blocks of ground
lying west of Michigan avenue, between
Randolph and Monroe streets, together with
riparian right claims. This last provision
is the most important one, and tne one to
which the company will doubtless object
more strenuously than to any other.

BIG RAILROAD PLANS
Which May Have a Great Influence
Upon the Entire Country.
EITHER BY BBIDGE OR TUNNEL
Trains Are Kow Certain to be Soon Taken
Direct to Newlork.
THE YIEWS EXPRESSED BI MB. DEPEW
New York, Dec 15. There are three
great projects which make a decided change
in railroad matters in this vicinity, if not in
the whole country. They are the North
river bridge, the North river tunnel and
the East river tunnel. Projects so vast have
perhaps scarcely ever been presented to the
people of New York. So wide are the pos
sibilities suggested by the projectors that
the public mind ot even this most progres
sive end of the nineteenth century is con
fused and scarcely kuows how to regard the
several enterprises.
'The managers of the North Kiver Bridge
scheme have at last chosen the site for the
New York terminal of their span, ana made
public all their plans. They announce
further that by spring work will be begun
on their immense undertaking, and expect
that bv that time the greater part of the
550,000,000 required, not a dollar of which
has yet been raised, will be secured.
Meanwhile work upon the North Eiver
tunnel goes on as though such a thing as a
bridge had never been thought of. The mud
and debris from the excavation are every
few days brought to the surface and depos
ited on Jersey soil at a point midway be
tween the Erie and Lackawanna railroads.
It looks as though the tunnel might be
finished before the bridge" were half or even
one-fourth done, thougn its managers are
Englishmen, while the projectors of the
bridge are undeniably Yankees.
The Views of Depew.
Chauncey M. Depew was asked bv a re
porter for his views regarding all these
schemes. Mr. Depew said that he knew
very little about the North river bridge.
He added:
"I think the North river bridge was a
scheme pushed through the Legislature to
sell. I don't think it had anybody behind
it at the time, though it may have now.
Still, I believe that the bridge will ultimate
ly be built, either this or some other."
Mr. Depew continued that he did not
think that the bridge would make very great
changes in traffic, because the arrangements
of the roads terminating at Jersey City were
so perfect now. "The ferry boats are the
largest that can be built, and the floats for
carrying of cars are the best. The bridge
might be a good thing for passenger traffic,
but whether it will be available for freight
is a very doubtful matter. It is a question
whether the roads can secure terminals in
New York city that would he of benefit to
them.
"I think the experience of the Erie is that
it is cheaper to float freight across the river
from Newburg than to use the Poughkeepsie
bridge, of course paying the arbitrary
charges there."
Mr. Depew said that tunnels were unpop
ular. He doubted whether that under the
North river would ever be finished, and
thought that it could not receive the patron
age of passengers.
Of a Different Nature.
"The East river tunnel," continued Mr.
Depew, "is a very different thing, because
the distance is shorter. I think that tunnel
would be a great benefit to New York and
Long Islana, and be available for passenger
traffic It is the great distance cf the North
river tunnel that is against it."
Mr. Andrew H. Green, who is the leader
in the bridee enterprise, said that he be
lieved the North river bridge scheme to be
the most important measure every presented
to New York City. It would facilitate the
commerce of the whole country. As things
now were everv car, with the exception of
those of a single road, discharged its passen
gers or its cargo to be put upon ferry boats
or other craft With the bridge an accom
plished fact, the trafficof the whole coutinent
would be directly with New York. Mr.
Green said he knew very little about the
North river tunnel, but should be glad to see
it completed. Every bridge and every tunnel
was a grand thing lor New York. The pro
jected East river tunnel, Mr. Green said,
was somewhat problematical, perhaps, but
sure to come, in his opinion. There was no
doubt that teams would be driven through
these tunnels, but whether the grades could
be arranged to accommodate train was a
question yet unsettled. Mr. Green referred
to his remarks upon the subject of bridges
and tunnels made before the park commis
sioners December 30, 1868, when he was
controller of parks. He then described
the bridges across the Thames at London
and the Seine at Pari", and said that if New
York and Long Island should hereafter be
connected by bridges the distance between
Ward's Island and the Battery would re
quire 22 ot them if they were to be as fre
quent as in London, or 30 if built as near
together as in Paris. Mr. Green also urged
the desirability of constructing tunnels
whenever practicable instead of bridges,
having special reference to the Harlem
river, however.
Some Difficulty in Securing Capital.
The difficulties in the way of the bridge
people in their efforts to secure the neces
sary capital lor their enterprise are likely to
amount to something. One of the most
prominent freight traffic men in the country
is known to have recently declined to take
any of the stock or have anything to do with
the enterprise. Some men tear the bridge, as
all innovations are feared by those whose
interests seem likely to suffer by them, and
one view regarding the proposed structure
is that it will destroy the lighterage busi
ness between New York and Jersey City.
One prominent railroad man, who says
that he has not given the subject of bridge
or tunnel sufficient consideration to warrant
the use of his name, believes in encouraging
all three schemes, and as many more of a
similar nature as may appear.
"I say, encourage them all." he exclaimed,
"it people are willing to put their money
in them I This for two or three reasons.
One is that they will give work to a class of
people who need it. Secondly, these enter
prises are sure to result in the development
of certain sections, the establishment of
new business. "When a railroad company is
asked to put on an extra suburbau train, for
instance, the objection is sometimes made
that there is no business for that train. But
if the train is run the company soon finds
that there is enough travel for that train. I
believe the bridge and the tunnels will make
populations larger in portions of New Jer
sey and Brooklyn. There is no way for
New York to expand but into New Jersey.
The East river tunnel will surely develop
a part of Brooklyn not now touched by the
Brooklyn bridge. But the North "river
bridge will, I think, overshadow the tunnel
under that river. People will not travel
below when they can go overhead. But, I
think that all these things are to be consid
ered in a wide sense, and that all will result
in a great development."
