The gas well in east Abilene, the
old Henry farm, is vigorously being
pushed into the Viscera of this mum
dane sphere. Not only rocks, sand,
etc., but large and valuable deposits of
dirt have been found. The managers
estimate that enough dirt can be taken
out of the we'll to fill up both the other
holes and have enough left to ballast
Shipe's railway track. Abilene has a
bonanza here that should be developed.
By making the well large and deep
enough there is no reason why We can
not supply all Kansas with dirt.
