The sand, which is known as the Goose Run, is found at a depth of 150 
feet along the stream of the same name. It lies above the Mitchell sand 
as is shown in the following record of Reed well No. 4:

This makes the interval between the two 194 feet, though it is re- 
ported to drop as low as 169 feet. 
The Goose Run sand may begin producing at a high rate, but in- 
variably its decrease is rapid, and the life of the wells short. Thus one 
drilled on the William Covey farm in the spring of 1899 started at 100 
barrels, but decreased very rapidly and in a year was abandoned. The 
remaining wells started much smaller, but their decline has been almost 
as rapid. In fact, when the field was re-visited in 1902, there was scarcely 
a well to be found. 
The Mitchell Pool.—This lies immediately south of the Infirmary 
farm, and has a length of one mile, extending to the Little Muskingum 
river. It runs nearly due northwest and southeast. Nearly 50 wells, 
most of which were producers, had been drilled by August 1, 1900. The 
best well in the pool was struck on the Mitchell farm June 19, 1899, and 
started flowing 1oo barrels per day, filling two 250 barrel tanks before it 
was tubed. One year later it was producing approximately 3 barrels per 
day. Other wells started smaller, but declined as rapidly, and no well in 
the pool can be relied on to produce more than 3 or 4 barrels per day a 
few weeks after it has been completed. The wells are all shot, the charges 
reaching 60 quarts. Oil taken from the tank on the Scott farm showed 
a gravity of 41 degrees B. 
The sand is called the Mitchell. Its position with reference to the 
First Cow Run is shown by the following skeleton record of a well on 
the Cain farm:

The Hendershot Pool.—This lies west of the Little Muskingum in 
the angle made by it and the Ohio river. The principal farms are the 
Hendershot and Buel. The first successful well in this pool is reported 
to have been drilled on the Hendershot farm in 1896. In all 23 wells had 
been drilled on this farm, 9 of which were dry when it was visited in 
August, 1900. Of the producers 2 had been abandoned, and the remain- 
ing ones made approximately 33 barrels per day of 12 hours. The best
