182 RESOURCES OF TENNESSEE. 



WELLS LOCATED. 



A number of other locations have been made and in mid- August prep- 

 arations for drilling were being made. The position of these future wells 

 may be seen from the accompanying map, Fig. 1. 



WELLS DRILLED IN ADJACENT TERRITORY. 



A number of wells have been drilled in adjacent territory, brief refer- 

 ence to which would seem desirable here. 



Winfield well. This well was drilled in 1905 on the L. E. Bryant prop- 

 erty at Winfield, some 250 yards west of the depot. Its elevation is about 

 1343 feet, and the mouth of the well is just about the top of the Lee for- 

 mation. The record as given by Munn* is as follows :

Coal No. 3, at 100 feet; Coal No. 1, 5 feet, at 525 feet.

Chattanooga shale 38 1665 1703 



Limestone and shale to bottom 507 1703 2210 



This well is reported to have gotten a sand at about 900 feet that was 

 thought would yield a 9 to 12 barrel well. In the Beaver sand close above 

 the Chattanooga shale some oil and gas were found and the well was shot 

 there. After deepening to 2210 feet the well was abandoned. 



The Shoally Fork or Jones well. This well was drilled about 1899 by 

 the Hydetown Oil and Gas Company, about \ l /2 miles southwest of Win- 

 field. Its elevation is about 1378 feet and the well mouth is within a very 

 few feet of the top of the Lee formation. The record given to the writer 

 from memory by Mr. L. E. Bryant is as follows :
