Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on a Geological Survey of the Lands of the Columbus National Petroleum Company, in Hocking and Vinton Counties
Some few borings have been begun, and many wells already placed in the belt of country which I consider as the Devon ian oil regions of Ohio, but we cannot know yet by results what their productiveness may be. It is then only by geolo gical test, or by comparison of our Devonian measures with the oil-bearing rocks of Pennsylvania, that we can appreciate the chances of future development of the petroleum business in our State. To render this comparison comprehensive, it is best to admit the description and names of strata as they are given by the State geologist of New York; for it is from their works that we have obtained most of our knowledge of the Devonian formation of this country.
