Natural gas wells was the subject dis
cussed at the regular monthly meeting
of the Minnesota Academy of Science i'm
Minneapolis Tuesday night in the rooms
of the society. Mr.. Bruno Bierbauer, IN
an interesting paper entitled "a Check
List of the Paleozoic Fossils of the
Northwestern States" gave general
synopsis and list of the fossils found in
the formations of Wisconsin, Iowa, Min
nesota and Dakota. Such list when
completed will prove satisfactorily the
occurrence of Paleozoic forms In tIIis Dor
ton of the country, and will be exteme-
ly valuable for reference. Prof. G. w.
Hall then read a paper upon the attemp-
ted boring for natural gas at Minneopa
Falls in the vicinity ofMankato. A dia-
gram was shown illustrating the nature
and thickness of the several strata
passed through in the boring. No gas
has yet been obtained; but the boring
has giving an excellent opportunity for
the study of the various strata and COM
parison with strata in other portions of
the Northwest. DR.. Eliot, president of
the society, then gave an account of n
well he had visited in the vicinity of
Big Stone Lake. For some time this
well flowed intermitently but now flows
steadily. The gas found in this we'll has
slight odor and is not infammable.
