The well was commenced in the early part of October, 1876, and completed to a depth of 1850 feet about the middle of June, 1877. After the well had been drilled to a depth of 1720 feet, tubing was inserted to a depth of 1684 feet, and it was reported that the well produced, by pumping, a barrel a day for about six months, when it was decided to drill deeper. The tubing was drawn, and after losing the tools several times, drilling was finally abandoned at a depth of 1850 feet. The elevation of the top of the well is 1666 feet above Ocean; Wilcox Station being 1527 feet above the same datum. This well was tubed about the first of the year, and has since been pumped continuously every other day. Its average daily production is reported to be a barrel and a-half. The Olean Conglomerate is not exposed in the vicinity of the Wilcox Wells, the lower horizon is probably 125 feet above the mouth of Wilcox Well, No. 2. 1878.j Drift, as follows: Loam and sand.
