Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ...in December, 1907, by the Eastern Carbon Black Company, having an initial volume of about 8 million cubic feet of gas daily from the Keener and still producing in October, 1915. No information was obtained for the J. M. Young No. 2? well--No. 212 on Map II--located 0.2 mile northward from that last described. The L. D. Graham No. 1 well--No. 213 on Map II--located on the south bank of Harts Branch, 1.1 miles southeast of Queen Shoals, was the first commercial gas producer to be obtained in Clay County. According to Henry B. Davenport, it was completed by the Eastern Carbon Black Company on September 17, 1907, and had an initial volume of 1,800,000 cubic feet daily from the Keener Sand. According to Gawthrop, it starts flush with the crop of the Upper Kittanning Coal bed at an elevation of 920' B. The well, the record of which is given next below, starts 275 feet above the Upper Kittanning Coal bed as determined by Gawthrop. It is a good gasser from the Big Injun, with a fine showing--3 barrels natural, daily--of oil in the Rosedalc "Gas" Sand, which appears to be split in two divisions. The record is very interesting, in that the three great sandstone ledges--Mahoning, Upper Freeport, and Lower Freeport--are represented in typical development for this region, as also the Upper East Lynn: L.
