About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 Excerpt: ...In all the localities of north-eastern Ohio in which the Berea grit is found barren or but feebly productive, home supplies of high-pressure gas are not to be expected, and while in south eastern Ohio there are one or two chances besides those furnished by the Berea grit, and which indeed, must be taken before the Berea grit is reached, they are too uncertain to inspire confidence or to warrant large expenditure.

The recognition of these facts would have saved, within the last year, to the towns of north-eastern Ohio, a large amount of money that has been used to no purpose in drilling unusually deep wells in search of natural gas. Their recognition at the present time will discourage for years to come, like large expenditures in random drilling in the same search. Test wells, involving possible new horizons, when located wisely and when followed with due care and with all available knowledge, will always be in order, but the work that is now going on mainly consists in driving deep holes into the ground, the work being guided by scarcely more intelligence than would be used in turning a wheel of fortune. Chance will always have a considerable part to play in the distribution of mineral wealth of this character, but there is certainly...
