On the Grapeville Gas-wells. By J. P. Lesley. 



(Bead before the American Philosophical Society, March 6, 1S01.) 



Mr. John Fulton, General Manager of the Cambria Iron Works, at 

 Johnstown, Cambria county, Pa., has kindly furnished me with the fol- 

 lowing particulars of one of the most important and significant episodes 

 in the strange story of Petroleum in Pennsylvania : 



1. A report to him made October 12, 1888, by Edgar G. Tuttle, then 

 Mining Engineer of the Company. This gives : — (a) the number of 

 wells (27 or more) around Grapeville, in Westmoreland county, up to 

 that date sunk and piped by different companies ; — (b) the length and 

 sizes of the pipe line to Johnstown ; — (c) the pressures of gas at the well, 

 at the 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th, 24th, 28th, 32d, 3Gth and 39th mile, and 

 at the Cambria Works terminus. 



2. A second report made to him two years later, February 25, 1891, by 

 M. G. Moore, now Mining Engineer of the Company. This gives : — (a) 

 the titles of eleven companies owning 85 gas-wells in the Grapeville dis- 

 trict ; — (b) an account of the drilling especially of the Agnew well ; — (c) 

 a table showing the decline of pressure at the Westmoreland and Cambria 

 Companies' wells, from 38G lbs. on April 29, 1889, to Go lbs. on February 

 2, 1891;— (d) a full table of the Co.'s thirteen wells, depths, dates of 

 striking gas, the initial pressure of each, subsequently observed pressure 

 at April 29, 1889, December 15, May 26, November 3, December 1, 1SH0,
