The record reveals a complete absence of porous oil sands 

 below the Pennsylvanian Measures, which doubtless accounts 

 for the well having been unproductive. 



In the following section, arranged in descending order, the 

 surface portion was measured with hand level up a high hill 

 immediately southwest of Sand Fork. The lower portion is 

 the record of the J. W. Killingsworth No. 1 (690) well, drilled 

 by Guffey and Galey on Lynch Run, 1.4 miles northw r est of 

 Sand Fork. Owing to the northwestward rise of the rocks be- 

 tween Sand Fork and Lynch Run, the well starts at a lower 

 stratigraphic level than the bottom of the measured section, 

 but allowance is made for this interval. The well starts 80 

 feet below the Pittsburgh Coal horizon, while the measured 

 section shows that the coal should underlie the Little Ka- 

 nawha River at Sand Fork by about 33 feet :
