  at 
  about 
  1000 
  feet 
  and 
  a 
  show 
  of 
  oil 
  at 
  1500 
  feet. 
  Both 
  wells 
  

   were 
  valueless. 
  

  

  Mr 
  E. 
  J. 
  Fish 
  reports 
  a 
  well 
  on 
  lot 
  50, 
  in 
  which 
  a 
  sand 
  22 
  feet 
  

   thick, 
  producing 
  half 
  a 
  barrel 
  of 
  oil 
  a 
  day 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  960 
  

   feet. 
  The 
  well 
  was 
  continued 
  through 
  black 
  shale 
  to 
  1110 
  feet 
  

   and 
  abandoned. 
  

  

  Wells 
  on 
  lots 
  10 
  and 
  11 
  have 
  produced 
  small 
  quantities 
  of 
  oil 
  

   and 
  gas, 
  but 
  not 
  enough 
  to 
  be 
  commercially 
  profitable. 
  Barren 
  

   wells 
  are 
  also 
  reported 
  on 
  lots 
  1, 
  16 
  and 
  35.
