gas fields of the western interior
are reported upon in a bulletin lie.
sued by the geological survey. The
report says the productive territory
is being constantly extended. as
there is demand for gas az fuel
and the oil is proving a profitable
resource. The principal productive
field of the western interior area is
in Southeastern Kansas and the
northern part of the Territory, al
though both gas and oil in limited
quantities have been found as far
north as Kansas City and along the
western border of Missouri. The
report says the coal measure rocks
of Iowa thus far have not proved
productive. The small flows of gas
