Altitude at mouth of well is about looo feet above tide. 



Livingston county. There are a number of small pools in the 

 northern part of the county, mainly in the towns of Caledonia, Avon 

 and Lima, which support a few wells each. The flow in the aggregate 

 is small and is employed locally for light and heat, being distributed 

 by the Tri-County Natural Gas Co. to Le Roy, Caledonia, Scottsville 

 and other communities in the vicinity. The horizon is the Medina 

 sandstone which lies at depths below 1200 feet in most of the wells. 



Well on the John C. Mitchell farm, Caledonia. The well is located 

 3 miles south of Caledonia village and was drilled in 19 13. A small 

 flow of gas was found at 1309 feet. The record has been contributed 

 by H. O. Wagner, Caledonia.

Well on the George F. Hudson farm, Moscow. This well, located 

 at Moscow in the town of Leicester, is about 12 miles south of the 

 preceding one. It was drilled for the New York Central Gas Co. 

 Gas was found at 1886 feet.

Wyoming county. The productive natural gas section is in the 

 vicinity of Attica, on the border of Genesee county, and a little 

 west of the Pavilion field. The first wells were put down over 

 20 years ago, and subsequent drilling has not materially enlarged 

 the bounds of the pool. The flow is used at Attica, but of late 

 years has not sufficed for the needs of the village so that the Attica 

 Natural Gas Co. obtains a supply from the Pavilion field. The 

 gas occurs in the Medina sandstone at a depth of 1800 feet or more. 



In the eastern part of Wyoming county, at Wyoming village, 

 Warsaw, Rock Glen, Silver Springs and other places many salt 

 wells have been put down. They have not revealed the presence 

 of any considerable gas pools in the formations above the salt, 

 which include the horizons of the Marcellus, Onondaga and Salina 

 waterlime.
