Several wells have been drilled along the head of Stone- 

 coal Creek, in the edge of Upshur County, some of which 

 have been light gas producers, while others have been aban- 

 doned as dry holes. The records of six of these wells, kept 

 with exceeding care by Mr. J. J. Singleton, Manager of the 

 Buckhannon Relief Oil and Gas Company, will be published 

 both for their information on oil and gas and for the valuable 

 data on coal that they contain.
