ANOTHER BIG GAS WELL
The Drill Opens Up Splendid Gas
Well in the Fisher Tract just
Northeast of lola.
It IS IN NEW TERRITORY
And the Find is Particularly Fortu-
nate on that Account-Means More
to lola Than Any Re-
cent Development.

Mr.. Fred Horton came to the RBG-
lister Office about O'Clock Wednes-
day and said he was afraid the well
upon which he has been working for |
the past two weeks up on the Fisher
tract was going to be dry hole. The
REGISTER accordingly made the dis
Outraged note that appeared in We'd
aesday's paper. A bout five O'Clock,
however, Wallace Duncan called up
this office to say that the new well
has begun "gassing" and promise
great Things. The promise seems to
De abund antly fulfilled. AT this writ
ing, while the drill Is only three feet
in the real gas sand, the roar of the
escap ping gas can be plainly heard In
this office, u half mile away, above the
traffic of the street, and Mr.. Horton
thinks that the well is good for five
million day just as 1t stands. Uu-
dou btedly IL 1t is decided TO take it on
town deeper q well will be developed
fully as large as any in this field.
The popularity OF this well, and
the thing that discouraged Mr.. Hor-
ton, was the thickness OF the cap-stone
of the gas sand. Ordinarily the drill
pas SEES through about eight feet of
very hard stone just before penetrat-
ing the gas sand. But in this case
the capstone proved to be fifteen feet
thick, and Mr.. Horton was afraid
that when he got through 1t he would
find himself in salt water. The fact
that the gas sand showed upall right,
however, suggests the thought that
the gas may be all the stronger and
more permanent ON account OF the
thickness of the cap-stone. However,
that may be, the well is all right ana
adds another strong link to the chain
of Ioa's prosperity.
This find is particularly fortunate
for the reason that II develops new
territory. 1t is the first well opened
north of the street running east from
the center of the square, and grave
fears were entertained that 1t was out
side the field. The success of this
well makes it practically certain that
the whole of the quarter section,
which has been set apart especially
for factories and upon which the Man
ufacturing Company, the Brick Plant
and the Nicholson smelter are now To-
Gated, is good gas territory,-a
that discovery is worth more than
can be easily estimated to the city of
lola. 1t makes it certain that in the
course of time, and probably very
short time. at least the entire tsOuth
half of that quarter section will be
covered with factories, supplied with
: gas from their own ground.
The new development is great
thing-and there will be others.
