IftiswOLD.] STRUCTURAL WORK IN EASTERN OHIO OIL FIELDS. 343 
The first location of a test well was made on the Allison farm, 1,200 
feet south of the Hopedale-Bloorn field road and 1,000 feet east of 
the Lake Erie, Alliance and Wheeling Railroad. The sand is rep- 
resented by the map to be 270 feet below sea level. The elevation of 
well mouth is 1,229 feet, making an estimated depth of well of 1,499 
feet. The sand was found at 1,504 feet. The well is a small oil pro- 
ducer, with large amounts of salt water. In order to strike the sand 
above the limit of salt water, a well was drilled 500 feet north of the 
road just east of the town of Ilopedale, on the farm of Mr. William 
Stringer. The location, as shown by the map, is at the highest point 
of the anticlinal nose, which extends south at the town of Hopedale. 
The sand is represented to be 242 feet below sea level, and the eleva- 
tion of the mouth of the well is 1,228 feet, making an estimated dis- 
tance to the sand of 1,470 feet. The sand was found at 1,176 feet. 
The result was a gas well with a pressure of about 400 pounds to the 
square inch. It now seems very probable that there is oil-producing 
territory between the Stringer gas well and the Allison small oil well. 
Test welled Unionport. — The same company also drilled a "wild- 
cat" test well in sec. 35, T. 9 N., R. 3 W,, south of the railroad, and 
very near the eastern line of the section, on the farm of Mr. Lewis, 
west of the town of Unionport. The sand is here represented by the 
map to be 245 feet below sea level. The elevation of the well mouth 
is 972 feet above sea, making an estimated depth to the sand of 1,217 
feet. The sand was found by the drill at 1,220 feet. The well 
resulted in a perfectly dry hole, with a hard and close sand. 
Eastern Ohio Oil Company's test wells. — During the past year the 
Eastern Ohio Oil Company, of Chicago, drilled a number of test wells 
in the area southeast of Cadiz, with unfavorable results. No records 
of these wells have been obtained, and for that reason the expense of 
leveling to the mouths of the wells was not incurred. 
Amsterdam pool. — Little new development has been undertaken in 
the north half of the area covered by the Cadiz quadrangle. The 
following reference to the Amsterdam pool is taken from page 24 of 
Bulletin No. 198: 
The accumulation from the canoe-shaped basin on the west side of the main 
anticline has been discovered in part at Amsterdam. 
The sand at the Amsterdam well is of such a poor quality that it probably 
would have been reported as all lime had it not been oil producing. The wells 
are small, but will probably improve when areas of better sand are found. The 
limits of this field have been determined across the dip of the sand by a salt-water 
well. No. 205, and a gas well in sec. 19, not located on the map. The extensions 
along the strike are as yet not defined by test wells. The indications are that the 
extensions will be to the southwest in a diagonal line through sec. 80, and to the 
east in an almost due east line through the south half of sec. 7. 
The pool has during 1902 been slightly extended to the southwest 
by a well on the McGarey farm in sec. 30, which was located near the
