STRUCK SALT WATER.
Abilene Capitalists Have Not Yet
Got Gas.


The Chanute Blade says: 1.-THE
influential Oil and Gas company
finished drilling their first we'll In
their holdings near Galesburg yester-
day, having reached depth Of s76
feet. At depth Of something over
900 feet a strong flow Of gas was
struck, but IN pushing ON down q
heavy flow Of salt water was reached.
The salt water raised between 400
and 500 feet, destroying what would
otherwise have been q good gas we'll.
Drilling was Immediately commenced
on another well In the same locality,
which demonstrates the company's
confidence In developing valuable
oil wells there. Every indication
points toward 1t being excellent oil
territory, and they know absolutely
that they have an abundance OF gas.
The drilling will continue vigorously,
as they have every confidence in val
liable results from the development"

Among the curious types Mr.. Huret
