Disappointed, Not Discouraged.

Saturday night the drill in the we'll
on the Capt Ives place southeast of
lola stopped and reluctantly it was
admitted that the we'll is no good.
Drilled to u depth of 1895 feet jtra sed
through salt water and foot into the
Mississippi limestone, which is recog.
nized as the bottom of all things gas
eous. Quite q crowd visited the we'll
Sunday morning, Humboldt people
taking an especial interest, and the
disappointment was great. Capt.
Ives himself was here from Baldwin
and he told Mr.. Noble it reminded
him too much of funeral the way
people filed by and looked down the
hole and SO they left.
While disappointed, Mr.. Noble is
not discouraged but believes firmly
that, he is right in his theory thatthere
is an abundance Of good gas in the
vicinity. He has leases on 1000 acres
about the Ives well and a neighbor
started out this morning to secure
leases on 1000 ec"g uH the east
and ne intends 10 tl5rW " pros
pect the whole 'roat is theory is
that the gas sand tapers to thin edge
to the south of the BaHarpe field but
he did not intend to locate his we'll ex-
actly on the edge. That is what he
did, however. Shortly before the
drill stopped it passed through a very
thin stratum of sand, but a few inches
thick at most, and yet in that little
sand gas enough was found to run
several cook stoves. When it was
over and the facts known the surprise
was how so little sand could contain
so much gas, and the logical deduc-
ton is that it is the edge OF heavier
bed of sand where plenty of gas will
be found. Mr.. Noble will locate the
next well mile north and mile east
and go right ahead the first dis
appointment only making him the
keener to prove his theory correct.
AS the REGISTER has repeatedly
pointed out Mr.. Noble is testing a new
country passed up by others and
should he make strike he adds thous.
ands of acres to Allen county's gas
territory. Having located lthe south
edge of the sand he now proposes to
thoroughly prospect the territory be-
tween it and the developed belt.
In the meantime he authorizes the
REGISTER to state that the big dance
is indefinitely postponed.

Organize for Gas.

FIT. ScottTritune.
Last night c. G. Nelson mailed some
circular letters to a number of TT.
Scott business and professional men,
announcing Il plan for the organiza-
ton of a company to prospect in this
vicinity for gas. The letter is the
outgrowtb OF n recept agitation of the
question. Mr.. Nelson expressed him
self in an interview as feeling thatthis
field had never been prospected thor
oughly and that he would put u little
money into a $4,000 stock company
to sink ten or twelve holes and learn
to the satisfaction of all whether or
not natural gas is so be found here.
He had talked with expert drillers and
gas men and said he thought there
was a strong possibility of at least
finding a sufficient supply Of gas here
to light and heat the town. AS a re-
suit OF the publication of this inter
view Mr.. Nelson was beseiged by
prominent men who offered to take
stock in such a company and he final
ly decided to learn how many of them
would go in on the proposition.

Water and Light Plants.

The city waterwOrks plant is pretty
handsome concern and not an lola
person ever visits the power house
without feeling of pride. The big
settling basins which have a capacity
of l, 500, 900 gallons of water, built of
lola brick and cement look neat and
clean and the water looks good. For
the present while there is so little
drain on the mains and it being de-
sired to keep up fire pressure on the
mains, to prevent the pressure run
ming too high the main is tapped near
the basins and a heavy stream plays
back into them.
In 1.-THE power house the three big
boilers with natural gas roaring in
the furnaces, the big pumps which
throw thirty gallons with each COM
plete stroke, the larger pumps which
lift the water from the river, the slick
little engine that drives the slicker
little dynamo, all are the modern
master pieces of American machinists.
The building has q cement floor ana
is as neat as pin.
Few towns IN Kansas the size OF lola
and larger have such complete and
efficient fire and lighting equipments.

Count Kozwadowsky's Opinion,

The Italian consul at Kansas City,
who is quoted in the foregoing article,
he referred the matter to Count
Ko zwadowsky at Chicago who
in turn will communicate with the
Italian ambassador at Washington.
The following opinion is expressed
by the count and printed in the morn
ing papers seem to indicate that he
doesn't think the case very serious:
Count Anthony L. Kozwadowsky,
the Italian consul in Chicago, has
sent request to the consular agent in
Kansas City, the Chevalier jerome
Fedeli, requesting him to. investigate
the labor trouble in lola, Kan, that
resulted in several Italians being
driven from that town after having
been assaulted by American work.
men, and report at once to the general
consulate, Count Kozwadowsky said;
GAN the information, | possess in
regard to that matter is what | read
in the papers. The matter is of no
political consequence, but of course
must be carefully Investigated to as
certain that the authorities in lola
have used every reasonable precau-
tod to protect the lives of the Italian
workingmen. expect that Chevalier
Fedeli will report in a letter in a few
days"
Governor Stanley will take no action
! i 4 the lola affair until the sheriff of
Allen county calls on him for help.
"My only duty" he said sis to
send the militia when l am requested
to do so by the local peace officer.
That has not been done, and l pre-
sumo that the sheriff feels able to
handle the matter with the force at his
immediate command. He has his
deputies and if necessary, the posse
comitatus, and until he eXhausts these
resources he will not call for the
militia. So far have not been in
formed either officially or unoflicially
of any trouble, and since have not
read the newspaper account of it,
know nothing whatever of it.
