Prospective Oil and Gas Areas, Freemans Creek District. 

 In Freemans Creek District, almost the entire area has been 

 tested and found good either for oil or gas, making it proba- 

 ble that most of the good wells in the future will be drilled 

 on farms which are already surrounded by good gas producers, 

 but which have not yet been drilled. There is room for a large 

 number of wells of this class where the financial risk wouid 

 be smaller and the returns more certain than in wildcat terri- 

 tory. Some small areas still remain untested, however, and the 

 following are named as being favorable for new development : 

 (1) A strip of territory, about one mile wide and three miles 

 long, extending in a southwesterly direction from Lightburn 

 toward Freemansburg, which, owing to its favorable location 

 near the Wolf Summit Anticline, should produce a large num- 

 ber of good gas wells in sands ranging from the Big Injun to 

 the Fifth ; (2) A strip of territory, 1 mile wide and 3 miles long, 

 lying next to the Doddridge Line, between Dry Fork and 

 St. Clara, where the prospect seems favorable for an exten- 

 sion of the Fink Oil Pool in the Berea Sand ; (3), In the west- 

 ern part of the district, a section about 3 miles square sur- 

 rounding the town of Vadis, which, owing to its location 

 against the slope of the Chestnut Ridge Anticline, looks fa- 

 vorable for gas in sands ranging from the Berea to the Fifth ; 

 (4). the southwest corner of the district, along the Chestnut 

 Ridge Anticline, is favorably located from a structural stand- 

 point for good gas wells and should not be condemned by the
