Two dry holes were drilled just west of Gaston, the 

 records of which could not be obtained. According to W. E. 

 Patterson, a resident, the Nathaniel Bush No. 1 (52) was a 

 deep well and made a show of gas, and the Celia Bonnett No. 1 

 (53) was drilled 2600 feet or more and made enough gas to 

 make a small flame at the top of the hole. 



The following is the record of a well that was just being 

 rigged up for drilling when visited. The record shows no gas 

 horizons, indicating that the well was dry :
