The records of new wells as compiled and published by the Oil City Derrick show that a total of 457 wells were com;pleted in New York during 1909. The increment from the new wells amounted to 715 barrels a day. Of the number 32 were dry holes. In 1908 the corresponding totals were 450 new wells including 60 dry ones, with a daily production of 750 barrels. PYRITE Pyrite is a common ingredient of the metamorphosed sedi- mentary rocks which are found in the Highlands of south- eastern New York and in the Adirondacks. It occurs dissemi- nated in the crystalline limestones and schists and occa- sionally forms bands and lenticular masses of variable size and purity within the schists. In character these deposits are very similar to the magnetite bodies that are found within the altered sediments of both regions, and in fact the two minerals are frequently associated in their occurrence. On the other hand the magnetites that are contained in the acidic gneisses of igneous origin generally carry little or no pyrite. Pyrrhotite is.
