THE ORIGINAL NATURAL GAS MAN.
Mr.. George r. Roots Success in Finding Val.
liable Things in the Earth.

Mr.. George r. Root is the original natural gas
man Of Indianapolis Two years ago he got up
ordinance providing for the introduction of
natural gas into Indianapolis at cost not to ex-
coed SO cents per thousand feet The fuel wac
to be used for heating and mechanical purposes.
Mr. Root had the ordinance printed and sent
copies to all the municipal officers interested in
the enactment of the legislation. The ordinance
attracted the attention of certain elements
which had more power than Mr.. Root and the
measure was killed. Mr.. Root, with twinkle
in his eye has since said that the elements
which destroyed the ordinance might consent to
it's passage now for time has demonstrated that
80 cents thousand is good price for natural
gas.
.'What led you to believe there was natural
gas in this territory2" inquired a journal re-
porter of Mr.. Root
''Well, cannot say, unless it was my expert
ence." Mr.. Root replied. "As a miner I have
been boring holes In the ground for thirty years.
When natural gas was first found in Trenton
rock concluded that it existed here, for be-
Heved the stratum of Trenton ran this far west.
l knew that the stratum would be much the same
everywhere. and that, if channels filed with gas
existed at one place, they were to be expected at
another. wanted to drill down and see. My
idea was. on the passage of that ordinance, to go
up northeast of the city, about Lawrence or
Oakland, and drill we'll would have found
gas there. Then intended to go south about
ten miles. would have found gas there. Then
was going east, in each direction ten miles, and
there would have struck gushers."
