WEST VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. 213 



About fifty wells have been drilled along Hackers Creek 

 and its tributaries in the neighborhood of Berlin. Nearly all 

 that are situated along the slope of the Chestnut Ridge Anti- 

 cline are good gas wells, but those located along the axis of 

 the Grassland Syncline have all been too light for commercial 

 use. The producing sands are the Berea, Fifty-foot, Fourth 

 and Fifth. Several records of these wells are given on the fol- 

 lowing pages :
