This well was commenced one hundred and twenty feet below Coal No. 

 5, which crops out and is worked in the hill above. Fifty feet below 

 this, or seventy feet above the well-head, is the Putnam Hill limestone. 

 The first seam of coal cut, is apparently No. 3; and the limestone 

 reported below, is probably some other rock, as its distance — one hundred 

 and forty feet — from the Putnam Hill, is almost too great to make it pos- 

 sible that it should be the limestone over Coal No. S. Should it be a true 

 limestone, however, and that which overlies No. 3, it would show a wider 

 interval between the limestones than is known in the Tuscarawas val- 

 ley, and very much greater than the distance which separates them at 

 Zoar Station, where they are both visible. In any case, the place of Coal 

 No. 1 should be within two hundred feet of the top of the well. 



At Uhrichsville and Dennison, two wells were bored for oil, several 

 years since — the first by E. S. Ferguson, the second by J. L. Morris. 

 The registers of these wells, furnished me by the gentlemen named 

 above, are given below.
