in addition to gas, some oil. There are in this field 30 wells, 

 the greater number producing both gas and oil. The first wells 

 drilled gave a confined gas pressure of 400 pounds in four or five 

 minutes. In general, when the gas pressure lessens, the oil be- 

 gins to enter the well. The output of petroleum has been as 

 high as TO barrels a day, but in August 1899 it was only 40 

 barrels a day. The Mutual gas co. limited, controls the gas 

 which is now piped to the villages of Andover, Alfred, Whites- 

 ville. Greenwood and Hornellsville. The following well records 

 are furnished by W. J. Penney, of Andover.
