Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... point two or three miles west of Kawkawlin. The connection between the anticlinal fold at Kawkawlin and Saginaw seems probable since the Coal Measures also show a strong upfold in the Ralston well near the old Bay Mine No. 2. The Marshall and the Coldwater in the Page Oil and Gas Company (see Chap V) well also appears to be higher than they are farther east along Saginaw river. FRANKLIN WELL. Loc.: Kawkawlin, Bay County. The thicknesses as given in the above record are evidently approximations as they are in round numbers. SAGINAW COUNTY. Blackmar. In the early 70's, a well reported to be 1764 feet in depth was drilled at Blackmar, Taymouth township, Saginaw county. Considerable gas and a strong brine appears to have been struck below 1545 feet. As a coarse sandstone corresponding to the Napoleon was struck at 360 feet, the sandstone below should be the Berea. As mentioned in the discussion of the Saginaw oil field, this depth appears to be much less than to the east or west of Blackmar, hence it is supposed that south of Saginaw the anticline veers to the east and runs through Blackmar towards Flint. The depth of the well is given as 1764 feet but the record only adds up to 1677 feet. BLACKMAR WELL.. Loc.: Blackmar, Taymouth Twp., Saginaw County. Mr. Blackmar, owner. GENESEE COUNTY. Flint. At Flint there are many shallow borings, chiefly for coal. These indicate that the Maxville limestone is absent, probably eroded. In a deep well drilled many years ago a coarse sandstone was struck at 170 feet which yielded a "strong stream of sweet water." This, according to Lane, resembles the Marshall, and another sandstone at about 1200 feet containing a strong brine would therefore correspond to the Berea. The recent drillings for coal...
