The Moran Gas Well.

From the Moran Herald.
ednesday morning the operations
on the well Tor gas ceased at depth
of 1905 feet. The wei was measured
in the presence of a number If stock
holders and . majority of the board Of
that the we'll is that deep. On Thurs
day of last week The drill penetrated
the oil sand from which there was a
small flow of oil, and on Saturday
morning at depth of $50 feet small
flow of gas was struck and the drillers
thought by going into the sand a lit
tie deeJer the strong flow OF gas
would be found, but instead of that
when the drill got through the hard
rock more oil took the place of where
the gas ought to have been. Drilling
continued however until Wednesday
morning when 1t seemed as il II was
wasting valuable time on the next
well to keep at work on this one,
when there was practically no hopes
of ever finding gas in paying quaint
tiles.
The gas that we did get ought to
encourage every body Tor ii Is more
than has ever opened up in any ot
the wells near Moran aud demon
strates, clearly, that we are in the gas
belt and the next well Is very likely
to verify it more forciblv. The Board
nf Directors held NEE ing Wednes-
day afternoon to determine what nc
tion should be taken on this well aud
tue next one.

CINE and the flames flashed over the

spreading, the fire ran along the ell

got u firm hold on the inside before
breaking through. a pillar ofpitchy
black smoke rose from the roof and
after about fifteen minutes the flames
broke through the sides. Snow on
the roof retarded the fire some what
but swIfter, fiercer internal blaze
never was seen here.
The mill has only been built n few
years aud had up-to date machinery
for cider and sorghum making and
also for grinding meal. The plant
was worth in the neighboIhood of

The fire company reached the scene

was given, hut could do nothing but
save some light crates aud baled hay
from the south wing, and some of the
lumber from this part.
