This Well at Mayburg is a Mile Deep.
V
The photograph here given is a fairly
good one of the deep well being drilled at
Mayburg, this county, and which is doubt
less the deepest one ever sunk in this or
any other country, at least so fur as any
known record is concerned. Mr. Richards
gives the following complete account of the
deep hole which must grow in value as the
years puss:
Maviiukii, Pa., April 3, 1!II2.
Eiutoh Kki'UIimcah: The deep well at
Maybnrg Is owned and carried on by Col
lins & Richards, T. I). Collins, of Nebras
ka., Pa., and Win. Richards, of Mayburg.
It is located about one-fourth of a mile up
tho Arncr brunch of liolis creek, on war
runt No. 52.'K. Tho locution is along the
western line of the tract, uhout half way
from the corners. Sea level, 1,200 feet, cas
ing 400 feet.
The rig is a regular style standard rig, but
redesigned by Wm. Richards, and built by
James A. Huling, of Tionesta, in the
spring of 1010. Derrick 100 feet high by 22
feet base, legs 2x10 hy 2x12. Tho 2x10 arc
double all the way up. Two-inch girths
and braces about half way up. Hull wheels
nine feet in diameter, three tugs and two
10-inch bruke irons, 20-inch shaft covered
with a three-eighths steel covering. The
sides of the spool where the wire cable is
wound is three-eighths steel bolted onto
four segments of 8x21 beech. This makes
an excellent job and prevents the cutting of
the shaft, which would be done if not well
protected. The gudgeons of the bull wheel
are six inches in diameter. Derrick pulley
:Ui inches with six-inch hearings. The bund
wheel is 13 feet in diameter, large crunk,
wrist pin 5x:iJ-incli pin, tool steel. The
sand reel is regular California straight line
style, iron pulleys 11-inch fuco. It curries
(1,000 feet of one-half Inch sund line, four-
inch steel shuft. Works good. National
Supply Co. sand reel and bund wheel irons.
The walking beam is 1 1x25 good old For
est county white pine with a steel truss over
the top of it of 21-inch soft steel. Under
the middle of this truss, which is uhout
three inches high in the center of the beam,
is a set of cur springs, which gives it uhout
the right spring, uud lets the pine beam
come into pluy.
The engine is a Struthers & Wells 12x12-
incli regular drilling engine, rated at 35 h.
p., and is eertuinly a very fine piece of ma
chinery. The belt is a six-ply 11-inch rub
ber of very extra quulity. Boiler 00 h. p.,
but we do not need that much.
The rig timbers ure extra heavy, and
there is an extra inuin sill under the mud
sills. Then both main sills bolted together
and the cap of the jack post bolted down to
tho main sills, which seems to give us just
about tlie right tiling, for there is no lift
ing of timbers, and now at 5,2oo feet deep
there is not a quiver in tlie timbers.
The cable is a one-inch steel wire line
mudo by the Williamsport Wire Hope Co.
It is 0,500 feet long and is doing good ser
vice. We run now u 30-foot stem of .'ty-inch
steel. Jure, bits and rope socket of regular
(il-iiieh hole style, only a little heavy. The
stem on tlie upper part of the holo was
15 feet by .'Ij-incli steel.

W. T. Kerr, whose home for 20 years

Monday, April 8, 1012, at the home of
Justice Luse, at the ripe age of 81 years.

which always was a part of him, and In

Ireland, and had followed the vacation of
a sailor In bis younger days. He bad lit
tle to say of bis past life. To his friends
he was known as "Pat Griddleskln," and
few knew him by any other designation
and believed that to be his real name. He
made few requests when he realized Hint
the end was near, but expressed a desire
that bis remains be laid to rest in the
Whig Hill cemetery, staling that enough
money would lie found in his possession
to give him a "decent burial" as he put

After this contract was completed tlie well
was drilled by tlie day until it reached a
depth of 4,188 feet, when it was shut down
for the winter aud on account of bad caves
above the limestones. This cave, about
lot) feet in extent, was shut off with a live'
inch liner and tlie well drilled with smaller
tools, but other caves coming in below and
the liner being unsatisfactory, determined
me, in tlie spring of 1011, when we started
up again with T. B. Gilford, driller, and
Clifford Bulib, tool dresser, to try to shut
out the caving by using pure cement. We
found that it did the work in good shape,
and although we found caves for 300 feet,
we were successful in shutting them all out
and leaving us a jiood hole. We have so
far about 700 feet of flint rock, very hard to
drill, witli streaks of limestone and sand
down to tlie suit beds, where we found .V
feet of solid rock salt, then shale, lime
stone, sand to 50 feet salt again, broken up
with soft rock and caving, which, we are
cementing now. This cave is about X0 feet
and much harder to handle than those in
the well above. It may he thut the suit has
some influence on the cement, but we cx
pect to overcome it and drill oil down
through the Clinton .sand and three Medina
sands, expecting by all the calculations we
can mukc to finish up and drill through the
lust Medina sand at 5,500 feet, if the well
is dry. Then below tljut is the Trenton
rock, which has yielded such vast quanti
ties of oil and gas in Ohio and Indiana,
but that would take us, say, 8,0ml feet.
Whether thut depth cun bo reached with
our present method of drilling, only the
trial with a full pocketbook back of it can
tell, and some of the old determination to
get there Unit has been characteristic of the
oil fields, aud has so fur won out and made
western l'ennsylviiiiia what it is. When it
is up to old Forest county to show what
she cun do, I expect her to tuke her place
in the front ranks of achievement with
Venango, Butler, Clarion, Warren, or any
other oil and gus region, and to prove thut
the bruin and brawn is uhout equally dis
tributed through the oil regions. I think
thut depth could be reached, and after the
experience of ono well to find the require
ments of tho situation and what is really
needed to overcome the diflicultics to be
met, other wells would be drilled much
cheaper.
When I speak of expense and responsi
bility on that side, I do not forget the
meed of pruisc that is due the boys doing
this kind of work, and while the expense
and constant outlay limy jar upon the bank
accounts of those who own the property,
the doing of the work that is so unusual,
the extra strain upon the cable, wheels,
beams, and in fact everything connected
with it seems to be strained beyond its
strength. It all has its effect upon the
nerves uud working powers, so thut twelve
hours of this high tension is equal to
uhout two days of ordinary drilling at an
average of 2,500 feet, and although we have
measured out as fur as possible at this date,
I am satisfied that the time will conic when
wells of 5,000 or 0,000 feet will bo drilled in
regular order and in a short time.
Yours truly, Wm. Kiciiahhs.
