34<D PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS. 



"This is an important record, since its details show the presence 

 of Red beds at 530 feet below the top of the Big Injun Sand, at the 

 horizon where they are so often found above the Gordon Stray in Wet- 

 zel, Harrison and Doddridge Counties to the west, thus tending to 

 confirm the identification of the 'Stray' and Gordon Sands in the Sand 

 Fork Pool, notwithstanding their much greater interval below the 

 Pittsburgh Coal."

The above well was abandoned as a dry hole. 



The following well, now the property of the Pittsburgh 

 and West Virginia Gas Co., but drilled by Guffey and Galey, 

 who furnished the record to the Survey, gives a complete 

 stratigraphic record, but the driller has evidently mistaken 

 shale for lime, as few limestones of any consequence except 

 the Big Lime are found in this region. The well produces 

 gas from the Fifth Sand:
