The Vandervort and Pickens No. 1 (606), drilled in Web- 

 ster County on Right Fork of the Little Kanawha, 1 mile 

 southwest of Cleveland, the record of which is published in 

 the section for Cleveland, page 75, and which was previ- 

 ously published in Volume I (A), page 393. of the Survey, is 

 reported to have made some gas, but was plugged, the record 

 not showing the formation in which the gas was found. The 

 well was drilled to 1807 feet and did not reach the Gordon 

 and other deep sands of the Catskill Series. The William 

 Mullins No. 1 (607), located in Webster County on a branch 

 of Right Fork of Little Kanawha, 1 mile southwest of Bois, 

 was reported by a resident to have been drilled more than 

 500 feet deep and made some gas, but was abandoned as a 

 dry hole.
