The Deepest Hole in the World.

One OF the most important sclen-
tItc explorations into the depths of
the earth ever undertaken viii be
carried out near Wheeling, Penn,
under the joint auspices of the
United States Government and the
city Of Wheeling.
Some months ago the Wheeling
Development Company began drill
ling Z well near this in search of
oil or gas II was determined TO
bore is far as possible. The hole
has already reached the depth Of
400 feet, within 500 feet of the
deepest well in the world In this
distance s dozen Of thick veins Of
coal have been passed, oil and gas
both struck, but not IN paying
quantities, and gold quartz, non
and many other minerals found.
The hole Is eight inches in diane
ter and the largest in diameter of
any deep well in the world.
To-day Professor White, State
GeOlOgiSt, arrived from Washing
ton, where he had succeeded in
getting the Government Geological
Survey officers interested in the
exploration, and the result Is that
the hole viii be drilled to the depth
Of one mile. Then the Government
viii take up the work under the
direction Of two expert officers OF
the Geological Survey and drill
into the earth as far as human skill
can penetrate.
The idea Is to take the temper
allure and magnetic conditions as
far IS possible, and by means Of an
instrument constructed for the pur
pose, Z complete record Of the prog
ress and all discoveries made viii
be kept and viii be placed il the
Geological Survey exhibit at the
