lowing article in relation to gas we cup
from the Bellaire Democrat: The state
Geoloeist has shown this city is in the gas
belt that extends from Western Pennsyl-
vania through OhiU TO Indiana, ana tne
finding of gas in paying quantities ~

inossesssee, can not afford to stand idly oy
and see her manufacturing interests IAN
guish for the want of a fuel. which beyond
1eradyenture exists in the territory ad-
iacent to the city. The gas will not squirt
70 the earth's surface while we are waiting
