Ontario county. About thirty producing wells are located in the 

 town of West Bloomfield, mainly in the southern part along Gates 

 creek. The gas is in the Medina sandstone which occurs at depths 

 of 1900 to 2000 feet. The measured flow at the outset has ranged 

 up to 1,000,000 cubic feet a day for the larger wells. The first 

 developments took place about 1895 ^^^ the output has since been 

 well sustained. The gas is piped by the Ontario Gas Co. to Honeoye 

 Falls. Efforts to enlarge the territory by prospecting along the 

 axis of the main group of wells to the east in the town of East 

 Bloomfield have not been very successful. There have been a few 

 successful wells drilled there, however, as well as in the towns of 

 Bristol and Richmond on the extension of the Medina beds to the 

 south and southeast of the West Bloomfield district. 



Well on the John Dailey Farm, West Bloomfield. The well was 



drilled in 1907 for the Ontario Gas Co. and had an indicated flow 



of 1,000,000 cubic feet a day. The gas came from 2018 feet depth, 



98 feet below the top of the Medina sandstone.

In southern Ontario county is the Naples pool, situated about 

 I mile from the village of Naples. The development consists of 

 eight wells, of which the original hole was put down about 1884 

 as a wildcat oil well by Olean drillers and reached a depth of 1633 

 feet. The hole was bottomed in the Salina, the last 43 feet being 

 in salt. The other wells were drilled between the years 1900 and 

 1910 to depths of 1050 to 1150 feet. According to Mr D. D. Luther,
