Report of the State Geologist. 



Ruhl wells. Two more were located in the rear of these on an alley running 

 west from Berlin street. The relative location of these is shown by the 

 accompanying map. The Everson well, in the rear of 971 Jefferson street, 

 had, according to the owner, Mr. Edward L. Everson : 



Drift, 40 feet. 



Salt water, . . at 700 " 



Gas sand (white Medina with gas) " 940 " 



Well was drilled to " 1,010 " 



At the start the gage showed 300 pounds rock-pressure, which had 

 fallen, at the time of my visit, to fifty pounds. The hole is now partly full 

 of water which has to be removed at frequent intervals with a " Klein " 

 pump. Professor F. W. Barrows says of this well : " It gave a pressure of 

 280 pounds in twenty-five minutes, and furnished enough gas to supply 

 thirty or more families with fuel and lights. It was left wide open for 

 months, allowing the gas to escape into the air." 



Well corner Sherman and North streets. (Drilled by Mr. Mook ; record 



from Professor F. W. Barrows.) 



Clay, 16 to 20 feet. 



Limestone, Corniferous, " 122 "

Gas, " 960 " 



Red shale, from 960 to 1,200 " 



The rock-pressure in this well was 375 pounds, the pressure running up 



to 150 pounds in twelve hours. 



Well at Cook's Distillery, East Side of Spring street, between Broadway 

 and Sycamore. (Drilled by Mr. Mook ; record from Professor Barrows.)
