Beiswold.] RELATION TO STRUCTURE. 23 
anticline has been tested only by well No. 13, on the Porter farm. 
This well found 3 feet of good sand, with good show r of oil and large 
amounts of salt water. The map represents this well as located too 
far down the slope of the anticline. Its results, however, give evi- 
dence for the probability of producing- territory in the northeast quar- 
ter of sec. 28 and the southeast quarter of sec. 29. 
The area west of the anticline may all be considered as favorable 
territory for small wells. Although not shown on the map, it is 
known that a strong syncline parallels the line of the anticline just off 
the western edge of the quadrangle, and encounters the cross anticline 
at the Jewett oil field, which field covers a considerable area with 
small-producing wells. 
Snyder pool. — On the eastern side of the main anticline, 2 miles 
northeast of the Bricker pool, what is known as the Snyder field has 
been developed during the last } r ear. The sand here is not so favor- 
able as at the Bricker pool, but a number of 30- and 40-barrel wells 
Jiave been found. 
Northern extension of the tnairi anticline. — North and northeast of 
the Snyder pool six wells have been sunk in the attempt to find other 
pools by an extension of the alignment of the Bricker and Snyder 
pools, with uniformly unfavorable results. With the information 
shown by the contour map, these results would not have been unex- 
pected. It is here that the influence of the cross anticline has come 
in, and the terrace face has been moved over to the east of the town 
of Hopedale, where it again takes up its northeasterly direction, and 
is in fact the extension of the Bricker and Snyder pool terrace. Two 
test wells have been drilled at the southeast end of this terrace. The 
first well, No. 203, found sand, with a show of oil, and led to the drill- 
ing of the second well, No. 204, with the intention of striking the 
sand fully 10 feet higher than in the first well. This they failed to do, 
finding the sand only 2 feet higher in the second well than in the first. 
This slightly increased elevation showed very favorably in the oil 
indications, and the well was put to pumping, resulting in from \\ to 
2 barrels a day. 
Wells Nos. 205 and 206 were small producers, but not from the 
Berea grit sand, since they were sunk only to the Cow Run sand. 
Other wells near Nos. 205 and 206 were drilled to the Berea grit, and 
were unproductive. Their location and records have not been pro- 
cured. The result of well No. 202, in sec. 28, was not learned. Well 
No. 201, in sec. 23, is reported as a gas well. 
From the structure and indications of test wells already drilled, a 
very favorable line for finding oil seems to exist in a northeasterly 
direction from the southeast quarter of sec. 3, toward the town of 
Unionport.
