WEST VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. 2O5 



ranges almost through the entire column, from the Maxton 

 to the Fifth Sand, the most prolific horizons being the Big 

 Injun, Berea, Fifty-foot and Fifth. 



The following well was drilled in Harrison County, one 

 mile and a half northeast of the Lewis County Corner. An 

 imperfect record was published in the Doddridge-Harrison Re- 

 port of the Survey, page 557, but the following gives many 

 important details that have a bearing on the surrounding ter- 

 ritory. The well showed some gas, but was abandoned :

The L. Nathan Lewis No. 1 (2) well, also in the edge of 

 Harrison County, has been reported dry, but no record of it 

 has ever been obtained by the Survey. The Isaac S. Reger 

 No. 1 (3), located on Hackers Creek, in Warren District, Up- 

 shur, two miles east of the Lewis Line, showed about 5 bar- 

 rels in the Squaw Sand, but was abandoned. Its record is 

 published in the Doddridge-Harrison Report, page 558.
