South of Tanner, only a few wells have been drilled and 

 most of these have been failures. The Frank N. Gainer No. 1 

 (683), located on a branch of Tanner Creek, 1.4 miles north- 

 west of Latonia, was reported to have made considerable gas 

 and a show of oil. The gas still burns at the well mouth and 

 seeps from the ground along the run, but the well was aban- 

 doned. Its record was not secured. The Henry O. Middleton 

 No. 1 (685), reported by Early Rinehart to have been drilled 

 by the springpole method many years ago to a depth of 1600 

 to 1700 feet, was apparent^ a dry hole. The Louis Bennett 

 No. 1 (686), drilled on Millseat Run, 0.7 mile southwest of 

 Dekalb, was abandoned as a dry hole, but was reported to have 

 made some gas. The following is the record of a dry hole 

 drilled at the mouth of Leading Creek :
