FIFTEENTH REPORT. 
well, however, is very close to the anticline, — so close that apparently 
it ought to have made better showings of oil than it did. 
The three wells yielding the most oil are within a radius of 1200 
feet, near the Bristol Street Bridge. The indicated anticline is 25 to 
30 miles long so that the three drillings near its crest in no way have 
tested the possibilities of the structure. Since the drillings at some dis- 
tance from the anticline have been so barren of any encouraging re- 
sults, it seems most logical that future prospecting should be along the 
supposed axis of the structure. Oil may not be found in quantity along 
its crest but, most certainly, the chances are presumably greater in its 
immediate vicinity than elsewhere.
