Special to Times Republican.
Glidden, June 17.--Asistant State
Geologist Savage has arrived at Gid

gas in this vicinity. He came on the
request of Glidden parties. About ten
years ago G.. w. Mcknight g. Sons
were drilling for water on farm about
eight miles southeast of Glidden When
they reached l04 feet a rush of gas
stopped further work. 1t was strong
enough to throw out stones as big as
"a fist. The use of u pipe at the mouth
of the Well, forming a sort of whistle,
enabled persons two miles away to
hear the rushing of the gas, so strong
was the pressure.

well caved in as before. People re-
siding in that vicinity declared that
they felt the earth tremble when the
flow ceased, being certain that the Well
merely had choked up instead of the
supply having been exhausted.
That was ten years ago. About two
weeks ago Mcknight & Sons sent a
we'll drilling machine over to the same
spot and began sinking a well, casing
being carried down with the drill.
Everything was ready to conftna the
flow which was soon discovered to be
as strong as it was ten years ago.
1T was found that it had as strong q
pressure as ever, and was very strong
quality of gas. 1t was tested with
Wellsbach burners and found that the
smallest opening would fill the nanteI
and make a pure white light.
About n mile and half west of the
gas Well the land which was formerly
Goose Lake is covered with peat from
one to ten feet in thickness.
McNaueht & Sons wrote at once to
the state geological survey to ask for
advice with respect to the matter and
Mr. Savage has come to investigate the
situation.
The matter recalls the great gas eA

about ten or twelve years ago when a
large pocket was tapped and gas was
furnished in useful quantities for a
long time.
