The drill stopped in very white sand. 



At about 2992 the drill encountered a white sandstone which 

 is probably the Oriskany. Salt water entered and filled the hole 

 to the depth of 900 feet and stopped farther drilling. No gas 

 worth utilizing was encountered anywhere in the well. 



The Page & Darrin well is located on lot 19, Smith & Bost-

At the start this well by the Pitot tube test indicated a volume 

 of 210,000 cubic feet a clay. 10 days after opening, the gage 

 showed a pressure of 110 pounds. 



In the vicinity of Hornellsville five wells have been drilled to 

 the same geologic horizon. Three of these, known respectively 

 as the Richardson, Hart, and Big Creek wells, were 1500 feet 

 deep. The fourth, known as the Terry well, was located ou 

 higher ground and had a total depth of 2200 feet. William Rich- 

 ardson, of Hornellsville, furnishes the following facts about his 

 well. " At a depth of 700 feet we struck a good vein of gas and 

 at 1250 another of about the same amount and quality. No ad- 

 ditional gas was found down to 1506 feet. An expert, testing 

 the well about a week after we finished it, found that it do wed
