WEST VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. 4OQ 



The George Simons No. 1 (549), drilled on Hershman 

 Run, one mile northeast of Georgetown, was reported to have 

 made a show of oil and gas, but was abandoned as a dry hole. 

 Its record could not be secured. The following well, the 

 record of which was published in Volume I, page 255, of the 

 Survey, made a show of oil in what seems to be the Fourth 

 Sand. Numerous revisions are made in the correlation of the 

 sands and coals in this record, made possible by much more 

 detailed information than was available when the record was 

 first published:
