\ natural wonder in the shape
of n gas and oil we'll exists on the
San juan about nine miles above
Pagosa Springs. The hole in the
ground is severnl feet in diameter
and emits gus which produces a
blaze when touched with a lighted
match. During wet seasons there
is also flow of oil from this nat
ural we'll. The causes of this won-
derful phenomenon have never
