THE NEW GAS WELL It Flows Three Million Feet in Twenty S four Hours Mr Bunter of the American Natural Gas company naturally feels considerably consider-ably elated over the new well opened up by his company a few days ago He said The new well has a volume of about 3000000 feet of S gasrin twentyfour hours and the gas is of a fine dry quality fully equal to the Tuscarora This proves up all our calculations as to the extent of the belt and shows the field to be as extensive as we anticipated We are now einking another well and are down about 700 feet Everything indicates that we will strike a good flow of gas there too Do you intend to have an illumination at tho new well for the benefit of an excursion ex-cursion party as has been suggested No that would simply be a useless waste of the fuel and would demonstrate nothing that we do not already know We have come down to business now I and shall go right ahead with our operations opera-tions with a view to getting the gas in I shape to be used as Boon as possible
