﻿PETROLEUM 
  AND 
  NATURAL 
  GAS 
  IN 
  WESTERN 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  55 
  

  

  The 
  newly 
  discovered 
  Chipmunk 
  field 
  discussed 
  elsewhere, 
  has 
  

   found 
  some 
  of 
  its 
  best 
  wells 
  in 
  this 
  township. 
  At 
  the 
  date 
  of 
  

   writing 
  (May 
  1898) 
  developments 
  are 
  in 
  progress 
  near 
  the 
  Indian 
  

   reservation 
  which 
  seem 
  to 
  indicate 
  the 
  extension 
  of 
  the 
  Chip- 
  

   munk 
  field 
  northeasterly 
  along 
  the 
  Allegany 
  river. 
  Whether 
  

   this 
  is 
  so, 
  or 
  whether 
  this 
  is 
  an 
  entirely 
  new 
  pool, 
  has 
  not 
  yet 
  

   been 
  satisfactorily 
  determined. 
  The 
  record 
  of 
  wells 
  in 
  the 
  Chip- 
  

   munk 
  field 
  are 
  given 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  others 
  in 
  the 
  township 
  

   of 
  Carrollton. 
  

  

  Below 
  will 
  be

  sections 
  in

  Allegany
