.191 August 28-1918. Middle Arm. Doctor Tynnell tells me that on Middle Point of the Patam Patamun, in the western side about one mile southerly of Dead Point that was drilled about 30 years ago nine holes down to a depth of about 1200 ft. Last year Tynnell found 8 of the pipes full of oil. The statement was made to Tynnell that an English Co. spent here more than $100,000, had a good deal of cracking at the place and a large tank for oil. The tank is said to have been filled with oil but I do not believe it. Doctor Tynnell investigated the place but found no strata exposed where the oil wells are but a little to the south on the west side he saw crumpled thin bedded layers with free shales. These are also common and they are described on page 59, at the wells the drift thrown out consisted of grey and red shales and at 1200 feet down they must therefore be in the Devonian Series. Quartas notes for the morning are as follows:- "Beginning on the south side of Middle Arm at a point S.20 W from the foot of Penguin Head. The lower the Portuguese arg, li., is standing on edge, & his fault hinge in contact with the Portuguese at his series of black slate and dark grey ss. Standing critically and striking S.15- W. The section is as follows:- (a) 90' Black shale, much cracked. (b) Ruddy orange grained dark-greenish grey ss. also cracked.
