TtXGKJI TO THE DISPATCH. Wildwood. Dec 17. As "Wildwood is and hat, been the center of attraction of all the pools from SlcKcan county to Old Ken tucky since the field was opened no last March, The DisrATCH scouts took the trouble to obtain as nearly as possible a cor rect gauge of all the wells com pleted since the advept of the "Whitesell farm wells, together with the wells now drilling and rig up and building. The sauces show what xhe wells are now doing 11.4S0 barrels a day. The report shows there hare been 93 wells finished. Twenty of this number are dry or gas, while a lew are small producers, but are no; in order now and making no oil. This leaves 73 wells making 11.4S0 barrels, or an average of a little over 157 barrels to the well. There maybe a few scattered wells omitted, none of which are producers of importance. It now looks as if the Bowman gasser will be converted into a producer. The owners hayegottepjankaseupandtlie first 24 hours the well made 5(f barrels. The well when drilled in was a very strong gasser, which prevents further drilling. It was sold to a gas company, but of late has been making more or less oil. In the sale the original owner retained the oil right, and to-day they effected a compromise with the gas company whereby the well will be drilled deeper 5n the hope of finding a prolific pay.

That the independent producers are deter mined to do something for themselves there is no question. They are quietly taking the initiative steps to formulate a combination of their interests, which will ultimately place them in a position jiot only to produce, but manufacture and market, their product. They are moving in the right direction, and all that isnecessary to success is energy and perseverance. A larire number of the leading operators from dlflerent sec tions held another mysterious meeting in Pittsburg last night, but what was done or their plan of action was not given for publi cation. H. McC. The Best In the "World. J. B. Iioughran, ex-Mayor of .North Des of steam engines and boilers, said: "I bad a severe attack of I3 grippe. I used Cham berlain's Cough Bemedy, and applied Chamberlain's Pain Balm to my breast. These Temedies were jnst the thing in my case. Mv child had croup some vcars ago. and we used Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy with periect success; since then we have never been without these medicines in our house. I had a cousin who was a printer and-wasemployed in this city, where they were printing circulars for "Chamberlain. He had a deep-seated cold and a terrible cough, and while setting up the copy he made up his mind to buy a bottle. It curd hisjeough, and that was the first time I ever knew anything of Chamberlain's remedies. I have been strongly in their favor ever since. My own experience and that of my family convinces me that these remedies are the best in the world. That may be strong language, but that is what I think."

Thsu The natural gai question, since the first moment that the eas was put into the homes of Braddock for household fuel, has been one made up of almost an endless round of groans, importunities and threatening queries from the anxious patrons of the var ious natural gat companies doing business in that region, and the entire western part of the State. The 2,000 or 3,000 private consumers of the fuel furnished by the Philadelphia Gas Company at Braddock have not been behindhand in offering their condemnations upon this company for the continuous shortage of the fuel lurnisbed to them in variable doses within the past three or four years, and recently a decided sensa tion was created in that town when the re port reached there that the Philadelphia Company would soon raise its present prices over 100 per cent, the same as it has been doing elsewhere, and for the same quantity of warmth ;that has always, on an average, been meted out, io them in homeopathic doses.

The number of consumers in that busy manufacturing town fell off then at a lively rate, all the families hitherto using'natura'l gas -going back to the use of the old reliable black diamonds. The coal trade began to pick up in the vicinity with a briskness in proportion to the falling off in natural gas patrons, and continued during the cold weather of two months ago. Then came the weeks of changeable, in clement, muddy weather, and the roads in that neighborhood became so heavy that coal could not be hauled from the miues, although hundreds of bushels had been mined and were awaiting delivery. Those families who had dispensed with the gas were in a quandary, and wood and every- tnmg eise tnat was available as luel had to be utilized, which state of affairs continued until the present cold spell. Now, however, hun dreds of coal wagons are again plying their vocation. Robert B. Cogan, Superintendent at sta tion "O" ot the Philadelphia Gas Company, at Braddock, said: "The situation stands simply thus: The supply has been variable at times, as you perhaps are well aware. You may have also particularly noticed with thousands of the patrons of this company, that in the evenings and on Sundays the supply is un usually great, and a pressure more than is desirable is on at these times. "The cause is very plain. The laree man ufactories in Braddock and vicinity, and the minor ones in the city, which are fur nished fuel by the Philadelphia Company, utilize the greater portion of the supply, and consequently detract from the con sumer's supply. The variation in the pres sure, as I stated before, is due to this cause. As soon as the mills which run single tarns close down for the day, about 5 or 6 o'clock, and shut off their gas supply, an increase in the pressure is felt in all the houses, though probably very slight. plenty of gas at bedtime. "Several hours later, just about every body's bedtime, or their regular bedtime in a warmer temperature, when the gas has had time to rally, a strong and dangerous pressure gradually and perceptibly comes on unless guarded against by careful per sons in turning down the valve's to a discreet distance. In the mornings about G or 7 o'clock, as eooo as the mills resume opera tions again, me supply diminishes. This applies also to Sundays and holidays." "Does this company propose offering any relief?" "I believe so. The contracts of the minor manufactories are expiring, weekly and a number of the larger ones will soon be canceled. When they are, which will be about January or the beginuing of Febru ary, the contracts will not be renewed. I state this positively. Then an ample supply for all desires will be forthcoming, I can as sure you." "What about the prospects of the com pany's ability to. get the supply to do all this?" "Oh, ther? Is not the least danger of there being any scarcity, or of the fuel playing out. The Murraysville field is pretty well worked out, but the interest now centers in the .Bellevernon and Washington county fields. A number of good wells are expected to come in this week in the Bellevernon dis trict, ana connections with the principal mains of the Philadelphia Company will be immediately made, which will certainly in sure a plentiful supply." "There is a report to the effect that the rates of private consumers will be advanced within the month. Can you tell anything definite about the matter?" "I can speak with an absolute knowledge of the facts. In a certain manner the rates will be advanced. That depends wholly upon the option of the consumer. Begin ning January 1 next, in Braddock, this company will begin the use of meters, which will be supplied to all the consumers in the towns of this neighborhood. Of course, it will be quite a long time until all onr patrons can be furnished with meters, and some of them will consequently get the ben efit of the added supply at the old rates until we can reach them, as it will take to the end of nextyear almost to cover Brad dock and North Braddock alone, without any oi me suouros. AN ADVANCE IN THE BATE. "We shall start to uut in the nwtpr. ,n the lower or west end ot Braddock avenue, tnence along Talbot avenue, with Washl ington avenue following. All the streets running from north to south will then be taken up, Vith the alleys, commencing againin the west end. North Braddock and the suburban distrirts will follow later in their order. The price of gas then will be 15 cents net per 1,000 cubic leet. On, no; we do not think we shall experience a very forceful falling off in the number of con sumers on that account I" The mills which receive their supply from the Philadelphia Gas Company in the vicinity of Braddock are the Duquesne Tube Works, at Duquesne; the Westing house Airbrake Works, at Wilmerding; the Wiudsor Glass Works, Bryce, Higbee& Co.'s Glass Works, at Homestead, all large concerns, and a number of smaller ones in the Rankin station district The natural gas Question in fhennp nn.t has been the only one, of lasting importance to be discussed in Braddock so far during this winter. The patrons ot the Philadel phia Company are up in arms against that corporation, and from the opinions of a num ber of knowing persons seen in that town on the subject, the citizens will steadfastly re sist the increased rates proposed by the company's intended using of meters. Hun dreds of the consumers, it is expected, un hesitatingly will discard that kind of fuel before the end of the present monthas many of them are daily making all their tires of coal and wood, and sit up during the night to do their baking. And, while they -are paying the regniar rates for gas, they are compelled to use wood and coal in connection with it, which is In deed a very dangerous proceeding.
