PLENTY OF GAS AND OIL.

| A Pressure of Over Five Hundred Pounds
at Less Than One Thousand Feet
Thirty Barrels an Hour at jacks Run
Reports From Other Places.
The biggest gasser that has been tapped
| for long time was struck yesterday on the
Thomas Gamble farm, back of Oakdale. 1t
belongs to the Woodland Oil Company, and
they claim the gas vein was reached at
depth slightly exceeding 800 feet. Others
Gllege that the pressure comes from the gas
sand, and taken altogether, the reports from
it are rather vague They agree upon one
point, however, and that is the heavy pres
sure, which is estimated anywhere from ooo
TO 200 pounds. The tools could not be run in
the hole, and before it can be drilled any
deeper the pressure will have to be alloweo
to run of.
