  ALLEGANY 
  TOWNSHIP 
  a 
  

  

  This 
  township 
  has 
  proved 
  exceedingly 
  productive 
  of 
  petroleum. 
  

   The 
  best 
  wells 
  have 
  been 
  obtained 
  in 
  the 
  northerly 
  extension 
  of 
  

   the 
  Bradford 
  field 
  on 
  the 
  head 
  waters 
  of 
  Four 
  Mile 
  run, 
  in 
  the 
  

   vicinity 
  of 
  the 
  Glean 
  Kock 
  city, 
  and 
  southwesterly 
  to 
  the 
  

   Pennsylvania 
  line. 
  

  

  The 
  Allegany 
  pool 
  situated 
  south 
  and 
  west 
  of 
  Allegany 
  village, 
  

   on 
  both 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  Allegany 
  river, 
  although 
  giving 
  smaller 
  

   wells, 
  has 
  yielded 
  a 
  large 
  amount 
  of 
  oil 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  on 
  the 
  

   whole, 
  a 
  source 
  of 
  great 
  wealth 
  to 
  the 
  township. 
  

  

  The 
  wells 
  in* 
  this 
  field 
  yield 
  only 
  four 
  or 
  five 
  barrels 
  a 
  day, 
  

   but 
  maintain 
  a 
  very 
  constant 
  flow 
  for 
  a 
  long 
  time. 
  Wells 
  pro- 
  

   ducing 
  as 
  low 
  as 
  two 
  barrels 
  a 
  week 
  are 
  considered 
  paying. 
  

  

  Eecent 
  developments 
  along 
  lower 
  Four 
  Mile 
  creek 
  indicate 
  

   that 
  the 
  Allegany 
  pool 
  is 
  connected 
  with 
  the 
  Bradford 
  field 
  or 
  at 
  

   least 
  only 
  separated 
  form 
  it 
  by 
  one 
  or 
  more 
  " 
  dry 
  streaks." 
  

  

  a 
  Historical. 
  The 
  first 
  well 
  drilled 
  in 
  this 
  field 
  was 
  that 
  of 
  Peck 
  & 
  Freeman 
  on 
  the 
  

   Woodmancy 
  farm 
  in 
  1878 
  (?). 
  The 
  well 
  was 
  apparently 
  dry. 
  A 
  second 
  well, 
  which 
  also 
  proved 
  

   barren, 
  was 
  sunk 
  on 
  the 
  Hull 
  or 
  Garr 
  farm, 
  about 
  a 
  mile 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  first, 
  in 
  the 
  latter 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  

   same 
  year 
  or 
  in 
  the 
  spring 
  of 
  the 
  year 
  following. 
  The 
  third 
  well, 
  on 
  the 
  Freeland 
  property, 
  pro- 
  

   duced 
  some 
  oil.
