SIXTH GAS WE'LL IS FOUND
Farmer Drilling for Water Six Miles
North Of Maxbass, Strikes Strong
Body at Depth Of 1872 Feet.

A farmer drilling for water six
miles north Of Maxbass struck gas
at the depth of 1872 feet Tuesday.
This gas Is in the same trend as the
wells struck south Of Westhope, !. and
is about four miles northwest OF the
Westhope wells. The dirt was
thrown out of the we'll distance
Of over a hundred feet and the gas
is still roaring out OF the aperture,
but will soon be controlled. This is
the sixth will, all of them being
struck at about the same depth.
Other wells will no doubt be struck
in the same vicinity, and from them,
gas piped into Maxbass. It Is a
very common occurrence to strike
a gas we'll in that locality. This
goes to show that the trend extends
northwest and southwest, but just
how far 1t can be traced, time only
will tell.
