2o6 PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS. 



The following well, drilled in the edge of Upshur, about 

 one-tenth mile east of the Lewis Line and along the axis of 

 the Grassland Syncline, appears to have been dry in all sands 

 and was abandoned :

Three wells have been drilled along Jesse Run east of the 

 Chestnut Ridge Anticline, two of which produce gas. In the 

 following the pay was encountered in the Fifth Sand, the well 

 showing a volume of 750,000 cubic feet daily and a rock pres- 

 sure of 820 pounds, according to A. B. Post. The Redstone 

 Coal crops in the hill about 15 feet above the level of the well, 

 and it seems probable that the Pittsburgh is incorrectly re- 

 corded, as it should have been encountered under 35 feet. If 

 the record is true, then the coal at 82 feet represents the Little 

 Pittsburgh, which has no such thickness elsewhere in the 

 countv :
