Eagle Township.—About one mile southwest of the large pool in 
Liberty township there is a small pool in Eagle township. It has an area 
of perhaps two and one-half square miles, and includes parts of sections 
5, 6, 7, 8, 17, 18 and 19. From this it runs west into Union township. 
Farther south along the township line a small pool is found in the north- 
west quarter of section 31. 
Development in this township lagged behind that in the townships 
previously considered. Work is reported to have begun about 1891, and 
the small areas of production were soon outlined. However, the drill 
was still at work in 1902, and with fair success. 7 
Union Township.—The oil territory in this township is restricted 
to the southeastern quarter. The main pool in Eagle township extends 
just over the line into Union, but the small pool in the southwest corner 
of Eagle expands after having entered Union, and includes parts of sec- 
tions 23, 24, 25, 26, 35 and 36. From section 35 the pool extends south 
into Orange township. In the northeast quarter of section 27 a few wells 
are found. 
The discovery and development of the productive territory in this 
county may be correlated with that in Eagle. Some wells were still being 
drilled in 1902, and it is probable that work will be continued on a small 
scale for several years. 
Orange Township.—The pool in Union township to which refer- 
ense has just been made extends into the north half of section 2, and then 
disappears. 
The western half of this township contains an extension of the Allen 
county pool, including section 8, and parts of 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 
18, 19, 20, 21 and 29. Section 30 also contains a few wells, another ex- 
tension from Allen county. 
Cass Township.—The great pool in Bloom township, Wood county, 
extends south into Cass township of Hancock, entering in the extreme 
northwest corner, and extending south entirely across the township. It 
forms a narrow strip ranging in width from less than one-half mile to 
more than a mile, and includes parts of the following sections,—4, 9, 10, 
I4, 15, 16, 22, 23, 26, 27, 34 and 35. The township produces some gas 
from sections 4, 14, 15, 22 and 23. 
Development began at an early day, probably in 1886, and work has 
been in progress since that time. However, the production has never 
been large, and not much can be expected in the future. 
Marion Township.—The territory referred to above extends south 
entering Marion township in sections 2 and 3. From section 2-a branch ~ 
runs due east entering Big Lick township, but the main strip runs slightly 
east of south, passing through sections I1, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 25 and the 
northeast corner of 36, and then bending east enters Big Lick. The
