  Gas 
  was 
  found 
  from 
  1100 
  feet 
  on. 
  The 
  largest 
  amount 
  came 
  

   from 
  the 
  sandstone 
  at 
  1355 
  feet 
  in 
  the 
  Hudson 
  river 
  group. 
  

  

  Veins 
  were 
  also 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Trenton 
  limestone 
  at 
  2092 
  and 
  at 
  

   2330 
  feet, 
  the 
  larger 
  quantity 
  at 
  the 
  greater 
  depth. 
  The 
  well 
  

   gave 
  a 
  metered 
  flow 
  of 
  5000 
  cubic 
  feet 
  of 
  gas 
  a 
  day.
