Virginia Gas.-Natural gas was en-.
countered ON Friday last about thousand
yards above the Long Bridge, near the Vir-
sina channel, by the aiuHin ol an artesian
well t. determine whether suicc gate for
the improvements in the Potomac river
could be butt there. rne well had been
sunk 10 the depth of 80 feet below the river
bottom, when u plug OF mud was shot up
through the four inch well pipe to con-
siderable distance in the air The mud was
followed by flow Of gas from the pipe,
which ut first gave out strong odor, but
the odOr soon disappeared, though tue flow
OF gas continued. The gas, when ignited,
made Il flame about Il foot above the pipe.
said the fame looked very much like the
flame of burning alcohol. 1t appeared like
gas which would not make IL good light
until carburetted. Saturday, about fifty feet
distant from this pipe, another flow OF gas
was struck The gas from the artesian well
first mentioned continued to flow uninter-
ruptedly until Monday, when the pipe was
accidentally broken and the gas cut off.
Major Ilains said the discovery indicated TO
him that the spot was not good one for
putting down the foundation of the suice-
gates. AS to whether there was gas there
in sufficient paying quantities or not he
could not say. lie thought that striking
il so near the surface would indicate that
there was gas around here somewhere. The
flame, he said would burn continuously
and steadily unless there was strong wind.
No investigation has yet been made of the
gas.
