GAS WELL AT BOULDER.
Heavy Pressure of Gas Will Be Used
for Heating Purposes.

Denver, Oct. 2O.-A Boulder special
to the Republican last night says
In company with number of invit-
ed guests, two Republican representa-
tiyes went out to the Maxwell well,
north of town last evening. To call
it an oil well Is a misnomer. Oil was
never discovered in it, but the gas
pressure is something enormous.
The derrick has been taken down
and moved 500 feet westward, where
another well is to be sunk as soon as
the derrick can be erected and the
machinery installed. All that is left
of the original well is the piping, and
some valves. While at the well. Mr..
Cameron attached a pressure gauge
capable of Indicating 1000 pounds.
Two smaller gauges had been broken
by the pressure and a larger one was
sent for. In spite of all the packing.
there is n constant leak at the well.
and the valves cannot be made abso-
lutely tight. The gas can be seen and
heard as II escapes around the main
valve. In spite of this, when My.
Cameron turned the gas on. the gauge
went up gradually until 1t stood at $50
pounds. II was said the pressure.
when all the leakage is stopped. Is
500 pounds. The best pressure OF any
well In Indiana is 325 pounds, so that
this is something remarkable For
the benefit of the spectators, MIR
Cameron turned the gas into the two
inch pipe. about fifty feet long. at the
end Of which he had put in an up
right piece. As he applied the torch
there was slight blaze from the
leakage. He gradually increased the
flow until the valve was wide open
and then the flame shot from seventy
five to 100 feet into the air and was
perhaps six TO ten feet wide. The
roar was terrific, so much so that for
time the spectators did not
know which way to run to get away
from the noise.
, As soon as the second well Is down
to gas the present one will be shot
and then II is proposed to utilize the
gas for heating purposes and perhaps
for lighting.

John Brisbin Walker Trying to End
Boer War.
LOCAL PASTORS ASKED TO HELP
Petitions Ask the Appointment of
Pres't Roosevelt and Queen
Wilhelmina az ArbitratOrs.

John Brisbin Walker, editor of the Co.'S
mopol1tan Magazine, has written letters
to Minneapolis clergymen tnclosing blank
petitions for circulation among the con-
gregations of the city. Mr.. Walker has
been aroused by the horrors of the Boer
war and the fact that the first Christmas
day Of the twentieth century would find
100000 troops Of the Christian nation OF
Great Britain standing rifle in hand on
the South African veldt trying to destroy
another Christian people. The petition is
an appeal to Britons to join in asking the
appointment of the President of the
United States and the Queen of Holland as
arbitrators in the settlement Of all ques-
lions affected by the South African dis
pute. Meantime, hostilities shall cease.
Mr.. Walker asks the ablest work Of the
ministers "in marking the first Christmas
Of the new century as one OF active
Christianity, one not only of prayers to
heaven in favor of peace, but of such
earnest action that the church will be
recognized as exerting a practical and de-
termined influence in the direction OF
Christ's highest teaching"
To this end it is desired that the men
and women of each congregation meet and
sign this prayer for peace. Mr.. Walker
| asks:
How Christian be satisfied who has
not made one serious effort in behalf of peace
1t is impossible to believe that If the American
people unitedly petitioned their English broth
ers to submit the issues to arbitration, there
| would not be favorable response. Ten
thousand earnest meetings, expressing only
| the sentiments that already I'LL every breast,
| would quickly bring about the desired result.
We owe it to England to seriously endeavor
| to settle a war which is SO wasteful of the
blood of her splendid youth and so rapidly
| bringing her resources under the mortgage
! OF an immense national debt. We owe it to
| the republicans of South Africa. who have
shown the most magnificent spirit since the
world began, to do something for their liberty.
! Several of these petitions are circulating
in Minneapolis and they will be forwarded
when filled with signatures.
