Deep Well Abandoned

Some time ago mention was
made in the Chronicle of the
drilling of the second deepest
well in the world near Clarks-
burg. The Exponent Of that
city, has the following to say
concerning its completion:
The deep test well on the Golf
farm. eight miles northeast of
Clarksburg. has been abandon
ed by the. Hope Gas Co. and has
been plugg ed. 1t is understood
that the bore was 1886 feet
deep wien the drilling was Civ
en- up. This is the second deep
est well in the world. Its ob-
Ject was to locate deeper gas
bearing strata which DR.. |. c..
White, state geologist. estimates
will be found 1000 or 5000 feet
below the surface. The well on
the GoI farm was TWO years IN
drilling. Gas was encountered
just once in the fifty foot sand.
AT about 2,250 feet the tools and
that much steel line dropped out
of sight and one of the toughest
fishing jobs on record developed.
Then a cave was encountered
and wheh tubing from the bot
tom was resorted to, to overcome
that, the tube got out of line and
this circumstance led to the final
abandonment of the well. The
mouth of the well is about 1,O5O
feet above sea level. The wall
penetrates the Gordon stray
sand, the last of the usual gas
sands in this region.
