212 PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS. 



In the two following wells, according to Dr. J. M. King 

 and Eugene Brown, of Buckhannon, W. Va., a good supply 

 of gas was struck in the top of the Fifty-foot Sand, but an 

 attempt to drill deeper into the pay in both wells resulted in 

 disastrous flows of salt water that drowned out the gas :

No records were obtained of the Edith Goodwin Heirr 

 No. 3 (16), and Edith Goodwin Heirs No. 1 (20), but both 

 wells showed gas, according to local information, being evi- 

 dently too light for use, as both were plugged. According to 

 G. G. Waggoner, of Jane Lew, the Edith Goodwin Heirs No. 

 2 (19) was drilled to the Bayard Sand at 2365 feet. The well 

 supplies gas for household use. It is probable that there was 

 too much salt water in the Fifty-foot Sand for these wells to 

 have gas in paying quantity.
