what's ought TO be an Excsilsnt|
Supply
Tapped Near West Alexander---The Gas
Forces Itself to the Surface
through Fifteen Hundred
Feet of Water.

Mr.. G. W. Reed, who is conducting the
search for gas in Washington county, on
behalf of the Natural Gas Company OF
West Virgins, writes to Mr.. W. q. Hearne.
attorney for the company, under date OF
October 81, that what is believed to be
heavy flow of gas was struck at the West
Alexander well on Tuesday. he says;
The well is full of water, and We can
not tell exactly how much gas there Is, bnt
from the fact that it forces itself up
through fifteen hundred feet OF water
Captain Bachelor and Mr.. I. j. Wander
grit think the well q good one.
I'VE have located well at TaJiors-
town, and viii start second one near
there next week.
The West Alexander well 10 situated
about two miles south Of that place. on the
farm of Alexander McNarie. 1t is PROB
ably twelve and one-half miles from this
city ss the crow flies. 1t is, of course, In
possible to tell Just what the well il worth
until the water is carried of and the ven
pumped cut work which will require
some little time. Until this is done, our
business men and manufacturers must %

While we are on this subject OF natural
gas, we submit the following from yesttr-
days Pittsburg Dispatch, which viii be
read with interest:
AFTER NATURAL GAS, wHArH
The question is very frequently asked oy
those who expect that, like most things

are those who hold that it is inexhsustible.

others who have tried gas, and tremble With
apprehension that they may be driven
back to the use of coal within few years.
They also deplore the loss OF the 81, DOC. 600
worth of pipe laid in this county. In the
city it would not pay to remove it from the
streets, though it might lie in cold OBJ
struc,ion" and rust. But it seems to be
pretty definitely decided that these pipes
will not be useless, though the natural gas
should give out.
A good many coal owners and operators
have been figuring with intent 10 come in

has greatly tharpened their perceptive,

have been told by an authority, supposed
to be iR6ispu,able, that it costs too much
TO force gas down bill for great distances to
make it q paying fuel but they are not
altogether satisfied that il cannot be done
One OF them says he doesn't think it would
be any more difficult TO force gas down

Connellssille or petroleum over the Ale
