New York, Sept 27-The Biarritz,

Next Sunday there is to be a bull

fight such as has never been seen be-

Ny opinion is that an automobile

Guthrie. 0. T., Dec. 2s.-word comes

ond flow. Of gas was discovered in BLACK
well Thursday night, at a depth of 7cS
feet. about seven feet above tne first
flow. The discovery was made at SIS
and the gas. when ignited, burned 20
feet into the air
Drilling progressed all night, and the
wen is now about 500 feet deep. The gas
was ignited repeatedly today, but owing
to the excessive flow OF salt water and
the high wind, it didn't burn quite so
high as last night, says the News. How
ever drilling is constantly in progress.

There was the usual excitement last
night and this morning, over the news
of the second discovery. The high and
disagreeable wind did not prevent
large representation Of the business and
private citizenship at the well. Every
body was interested and felt jubilant,
and manifested renewed faith in Black
wells gas prospects, which had been
blighted by peculiar though excusable
delays.
The new gas we'll is but % feet west of
the old we'll, where gas was discovered
at a depth of rs feet, according to the
record that was kept at that time. It is
difficult to understand why the newly dis
covered well should he higher than the
other, and many are disposed to believe it
the same vein and that the drllers
made some mistake in recording the dis
lance.
The gas could be seen this morning,
coming from tie well, just as it did from
the old well at the time of the first dis
covery. There is little or no question now
that Blackwell has paying gas. and there
is every Indication that greater flow
win be struck further down.
