Reusen, Shedd and Company ex-
tended their holdings in the field
when they purchased the Hopkins
farm on the south and the Boileau
on the east, the two comprising 48O
acres. In August, 1902, there were
66 wells on the Dale Cor joy farm
proper and these were producing
12O barrels per day. The best well
secured up to that time produced
85 barrels every nine hours.
On the Hopkins and Boileau
farms the company drilled twenty
one producers and the combined
daily production of the entire
eighty-seven wells was LAP barrels
per day. All of the wells were hook
ed up in tandem fashion and regular
power plants were used to pump the
fluid from the holes.--Norman o.

Early Development
In Chesterhill Field

First operations on a large scale
were started in Morgan county,
Ohio. in the First Cow Run sand
i formation back in 1850 in what is
still known as the Chesterhill field.
AS the field developed it extended TO
the Buck Run field which in turn
linked up with the McConnelsville
gas field
/ The oldest part Of the Chesterhill
!, field is one-half mile north of the
/ village of Joy, in Homer township.
The land was then known as the
Dale and Boileau farms and is now
owned and operated by Marietta
men Starting with the Dale farm
and going east the productive vein
of this Cow Run sand extends almost
to Chesterhill when it turns abrupt
ly to the southeast, continuing in
that direction for three miles and
then curving again to the northeast
toward Wolf Creek in Wesley town
ship, Washington county.
1t then follows along Wolf Creek
almost continuously as far east as
Browns Mills and then bears off to
the southeast for distance of some
three miles.
Discovery OF Field
Early residents Of the fertile val
ley of Federal Creek, just north of
Joy, o., recognized surface indica-
tions" of oil when they first came to
that part of the country. An oily
substance at times was seen floating
on the water of the creek and when
hole was dug in the valley. oil
would sometimes gather in it.
It was not until 1860, however,
that a well was sunk in search of
the strange smelling substance
which had found it's way to the sur
face. The first well is said to have
been drilled by S. S. Teller of Frank
lin, Pa, on the Joshua Bishop,
later the Boileau farm. An eight
barrel producer rewarded Mr.. Tell
er, at a depth of 65 feet and this
we'll produced oil for about 20
years and then was abandoned.
Company Is Formed
An oil company with a capital
stock of $1,000,000 was formed in
Lancaster, O., in 1860, and they pur-
chased the Joy farm of about 400
acres for sum reported at $375,-
900 and in the winter of 1960-61 it
drilled a well directly opposite the
old Boileau hole and got twenty
barrel producer. This well caused
| great excitement and within very
/ short time the little valley was fill
ed with spectators and the land
was divided into small tracts, some
no more than quarter of an acre,
on which men had planned to drill
! three and four holes. These patch
es of land sold for enormous
amounts. For instance half acre
on the Bishop farm upon which

Future Conuict Mutinies
 To Be QueAed By Tear Gas

munity, tear gas could be turned into the mine while prison guards equipped with masks would follow the gas attack and "mop up" the helpless mutineers, escorting them from the mine.
 The Alabama national guard has all ready obtained supply of tear gas. It was learned today that this supply will be distributed to several points in the state, where it will be ready for use in case of riot emergency, the gas having practical value under such circumstances with no injurious after effect.
 The test at Maxwell Field today, primarily for instruction of national guard in use of tear gas, was attended both by members of the guard and representatives of the convict depart ment. The national guardsmen partici- pating in the test comprised Sergeant J. F. Heflin of Dothsr, Sergeant c. $. Fortenberry of Birmingham, Cor poral Charles R. Hall, Jr., of Mobile, and Sergeant Smith of Montgomery The following prison sergeants of the convict department participated: G. T. Armour, Banner Mines, l.. V. .Teague, Belle Ellen, T. H.
