A Gas Well.

st. Martins, near st Martinville,.
on the rice farm of Mr.. [. n.
of this place, has
considerable interest
here. Mr.. Satterield and Mr..
Boutte gave our representative
the following facts.
The farm contains about 500
acres. Mr.. JOS. Boutte of New
iberia was contracted with for the
wells necessary to irrigate this
land, which has been planted in
rice. During the progress of the
boring Of the first we'll Mr.. Boutte
several times called attention Of
the proprietors to the accumulat
ing scum on the surface Of the
water in the settling pit, where
the water is allowed to rest and
precipitate the sand before being
reused. He said he felt confident
that it indicated oil. This well
was finally rested in water bear
ing stratum at a depth Of 200
feet.
A second we'll was then bored.
In this the oil indications were
more marked than in the former
and the presence of gas was very
manifest by the continuous bub-
bling of the water in the pipe
when at rest. When this well
had reached a depth of 10 feet,
having penetrated good bed of
water bearing sand it was rested.
As it was desired to locate the
pump on this we'll below the sur
face in order to minimize the lift
Of the pump it became necessary
to take off the last section of the
pipe at the first coupling below
the surface. In order to hold the
water of the we'll back out of the
pit that was dug piston was in
serted in the we'll casing. The
piston head had a hole bored
through its center. into which
was screwed piece of small d.
ameter gas pipe. This pipe filled
the two-fold purpose of providing
the means of forcing the piston
downwards and providing a vent
for relieving the pressure below
the piston.
After the piston had been forced
down to the required depth, a
match was ignited in close prox.
unity to the upper end of the gas
pipe, when, with fash, the gas
ignited and burned with steady
flame above the end of the pipe.
It was allowed to burn al Satur
day night and continued to burr
uninteruptedly all day Sunday
and Monday, attracting much at
tention and many visitors.
Wednesday the pump for this
well was made ready and placed
in position. When all was ready
power was cut on and it threw 3
good stream of water from a 81,
inch discharge Some one who
had noted the gas phenomenon
of this we'll and wishing to fur
Their experiment applied a lighted
match to the month of the dis
charge pipe. A heavy, dull OK
plosi0n followed that came neal
wrecking the pump. It was will

flames were extinguished.
