Is THE GAS BELT SHIFTING.
Gusher Struck in Upton County, q
Supposed barren Field.

Special to the indianapolis Joural.
ANDERSON. Ind. Sept. 13.-A most sin
gular freak of natural gas is being devel-
oped at Upton. this State, which is at
tracing the closest attention of State In
spector Leach and all other gas experts.
When the Indiana gas belt was opened
up nine years ago repeated attempts were
made at Upton to get gas at that point.
Drills were sent down in different parts
of the township, but all of tine drillings
were unsuccessful. The lines finally be-
came defined and Upton was ten miles out
of the great gas belt. No attempts were
made for five years. Last month a party
of Upton people organized company and
sunk well. Gas was struck this week
and the well has developed into a regular
'gusher." The average pressure in the
gas belt is 230 pounds at present. but the
new Upton wei shows a pressure of 210.
People all along the west line of the gas
belt have caught the fever and many drills
will be sunk in territory which has hereto
fore, like that of Upton, been nonproduc-
tive and considered outside of the gas belt.
This gives strength to the theory advanced
by many that the gas reservoirs are con-
tinually shifting and going further west.
being followed in on the east by oil. This
discovery will be of great benefit to those
studying the subject of natural gas.
