As this well apparently started about 200 feet below the top of the Garrison formation, 
vhich is taken as the uppermost member of the Permsylvanian, or Coal Measures series 
!i»f Kansas, and as the Coal Measures are about 2,700 feet thick, the bottom of the well 
Vas probably 500 feet above the Mississippian, but may have reached the Cherokee shale. 
487. Well near Burlington, Coffey County. 
Well begun in December, 1904; completed in January, 1905. Authority, Loy & Wilson, contractors 
No samples.] 
This is the log of a wild-cat well, not credited with having found oil or gas. The rocks 
>elong to the Pennsylvanian division of the Carboniferous system, the driller stopping at 
he underlying "Mississippi limestone" (Boone formation). The hole shows the full thick- 
less of the Cherokee shale and the included limestone (or sandstone) lentils.' The well 
ipparently started above the horizon of the Oread limestone, or over 1,000 feet above the 
op of this shale. While most of the intervening formations have been studied by surface 
mtcrops and well records in the Iola quadrangle to the southeast, variations in thickness of 
he various beds of limestone and shale make correlation difficult, 
Record of well No. 1 on Clark farm, 4 miles west ami 1 mile south of Burlington.
