242, ANNUAL REPORT 
OTHER DEEP WELLS IN THE COUNTY. 
While depths cannot be given for the following wells, it may be taken 
with considerable certainty that they reached the Berea sand. The wells 
are enumerated here to show to what extent the county has been tested. 
German Township.—A dry hole on the Lauther farm in the south- 
west corner of section 29; a dry hole on the Ralston farm in the southwest 
corner of section 18; a dry hole on the Johnson farm in the southeast 
corner of section 25; three dry holes near New Jefferson in section 26. 
Rumley Township. — A number of dry holes have been drilled in this 
township just beyond the eastern margin of the Scio pool. These are 
located chiefly in sections 20, 13, 18 and 17. Besides these the following 
have been drilled: A dry hole in the southwest quarter of section 12; a dry 
hole on the Crabb farm near the south line of section 31; a dry hole on the 
Kimmell farm in the southeast quarter of section 7. 
Stock Township.—A weil making a showing of oil on the Henderson 
farm in the southwest corner of section 29; a dry hole on the McComis 
farm in the southeast quarter of section 34. This well is reported to have 
gone 700 feet below the Berea in search of the Gordon sand, but without 
success; a dry hole on the Lacey farm near the center of section 8; a dry 
hole on the Christy farm in the northwest quarter of section 14. 
Franklin Township.—A dry hole on the Pittis farm in the northeast 
quarter of section 33; a dry hole in section 25 just south of the village 
Deersville. 
Archer Township.—In June, 1901, a well was drilled on the Adams 
farm in the southwest corner of section 21. The Berea was found having 
a thickness of 45 feet, with from 7 to 8 feet of pay-rock at the bottom. 
The well began producing Io barrels of oil per day. On July 23, 1901, a 
well was completed on the Welch farm adjoining the Adams, but the re- 
sults were not as favorable as those in the Adams well. A dry hole was 
drilled on the Barger farm in the northeast quarter of section 20 in 1899, 
but a show only of oil was secured; a dry hole on the Strasbaugh farm 
in the northwest quarter of section 3; a dry hole on the Adams farm on 
the south side of section 15; a dry hole on the Hoover farm in the south- 
east corner of section 4; a dry hole on the Pittinger farm in the southwest 
corner of section 5; a dry hole on the Anderson farm in the southwest 
corner of section 23.
