Tug Hill-Full of Rugged Tales ...
… Discovery of natural gas on the property of Fay and Earl Nefsey in the Town of Harrisburg in 1931 caused a kind of "gold rush" excitement among residents of the area who dreamed of overnight riches.
Tug Hill Gas and Oil Co., formed by officers of the Lowville Gas. Corp. with capital of $50,000 was granted a charter to operate gas and oil wells Sept. 9, 1933, and, began drilling in October, 1933, on the Nefsey farm located about three miles west of Lowville. Two wells with depths of 892 and 1,185 feet were drilled, and a third, stronger well, was capped at 1,156 feet on the Steinmaker farm, about seven miles west of Lowville.
Natural gas from the wells of Tug Hill flowed through Lowville gas mains the evening of-Nov. 20, 1934, and the next day, for the first time in the history of the region, Lowville had the benefits of natural gas for cooking and heating purposes. Application for a franchise was made by Tug Hill company officials to the Village of Carthage for distribution and sale of natural gas to supplement the limited market in the area. The proposal included piping gas from the Lowville plant to Carthage with an estimated cost of $150,000 for a pipeline.
Several meetings were held with village officials, but no action was ever taken. A group of Carthage businessmen opposed the development on the grounds that actual resources were then inadequate to supply Carthage. The first wells it was said had soon been admitted, and future supplies depended on new wells that had not yet proved themselves.
In 1935 exploitation of the gas fields ended, as gas in the upper strata had been exhausted Estimated deposits of recoverable natural gas totaled one and one-half million cubic feet, but the expense of recovering the gas proved too great for the financial resources of the firm. By 1938 the enterprise collapsed with considerable loss to stock - holders. ….- Funeral Announcement (Daily Sentinel, Rome, NY, Saturday, April 15, 1950)
