The Jennings Oil Companys well No. 1 is located in sec. 46,T. 2 W., R. 9 , and most of the drilling has been confined to thatand the adjoining section 47. Wells are in course of drilling towardthe southwest along the supposed line of the anticline in sees. 42 and63 in the same township and range, No. 63 being a watered section ofthe older French method of surveys. Another well, that of the HomeOil and Development Company, has been drilled in sec. 44, T. 3 W.,R. 9 S., about a mile and a half east of Jennings. Some oil has beenreported from this well, but whether in commercial quantities has notbeen determined.
