this rate for 2 or 3 months. It was then shot with 40 quarts and its pro- 
duction increased to 110 barrels. Later it was again shot, this time with 
80 quarts, and the production increased. On August 14, 1900, it was shot 
with 40 quarts, the production starting at from 50 to 60 barrels per day. 
Nearly all the wells in the pool are in the Big Injun, an occasional one only 
reaching the Berea. The succession of sands is shown by the following 
skeleton sections:

being at the horizon of the Pomeroy coal:

The sand reported to be the Cow Run cannot be that sand, however. 
The interval between the First Cow Run sand and the Pomeroy coal at 
Macksburg is approximately 240 feet, while here it is reported to be 500 
feet. The position of this sand with reference to the coal corresponds 
closely with that of the Dunkard sand in the Macksburg field. 
There are 2 pay streaks in the Big Injun; one at the top, which 
usually produces some gas; the second lies 40 feet deeper and yields oil. 
The latter is from 4 to 6 feet thick, and is loose and pebbly. Occasionally, 
‘ however, it is fine and hard, and then is dry. At first the larger wells 
flow, but the gas pressure soon falls so low that they require pumping. 
The Wingett P.O. Gas Wells.—In the western half of sections 31 and 
32 of Ludlow township, and the eastern half of sections 1 and 2 of 
Liberty township is a small but valuable reservoir of gas. The wells 
are all in the Berea sand. The first one drilled was in 1895 on the Mc- 
Curdy farm, in the southwest corner of section 32. Its initial closed 
pressure was 850 pounds, but 2 years later, according to reliable persons, 
was 950 pounds per square inch. The well is located on the bank of the 
Little Muskingum, and reached the Berea at a depth of 1,687 feet. The 
well is the property of the Keystone Oil Company, and is used to supply 
fuel for drilling and pumping. The 6 remaining wells in the field belong
