made have been decidedly superficial
desultory and incomplete We have
always been firmly convinced that onr
grand state contains riches untold be-
sides its unsurpassed agricultural pos
sibilities, and believe that the diseov
cry of natural gas will be followed by
discoveries of other products that will
within few decades dot our common
wealth with manufactures Of all kinds
and transform Mississippi from a
purely agricultural state into one in
which manufacture will play an equal
role.
Should the discovery of natural gas
made ON Honey Island pan out as we'll
as hoped, and which all indications
justify, complete transformation Of
that section is inevitable. With ample
power and fuel on hand, innumerable
factories will be built to utilize the
raw mat rial which abounds> AS tiling
and draining the land is of late coming
into vogue and found to be absolutely
essential for successful agriculture IN
low and overfiowed sections, tile and
brick factories will tird ready mark
ct for their products, and the best of
material for making them is to be
found in superabundance on tho spot
Saw mills, glass, paper and other fac
tories will spring up, the population

OF a LEGAL Nature.
Natural Gas f0iind.


Considerable interest and speculation
has been aroused throughout the com.
munity by the accidental discovery or
natulal gas on DR.. Joe Il. Watson 5
plantation on Honey Island, IN this
county. IN.
DR. Watson had number OF wells
bored for putting down pumps hut
invariably encountered stratum ol
decidedly sticky, gummy, ana auhe
siye clay. and one after another was
abandoned, the stuff completely ming
up the holes in the piping ana greatly
impeding the work. In this particular
well, in which the gas was tound, tne
workmen kept on driving me piping
down beyond the usual depth anu sue
Gee led IL penetrating the troublesome
stratum and INTO granite formation
about three inches, when suddenly gas
ESCAPED with terrific pressure AND
loud noise like the blowing OH OF
steampipe. A match was struck ana
the gas igniten before the match was
within two feet OF the pipe, severely
burning the hand of the party VINO
applied the match. The flame shot mp
over twenty feet into the air, giving a
most brilliant light, with intense heat
The spec lie was indeed a most I'M
posing one, and will always be remem'
bered by those present, among wnom
was MIR. Z. Durham, one OF the
leading planters In that section.
The gas was encountered a. depth
of sixty six feet. Three inches OF the
sixteen inches long point at the enc
of the piping had penetrated into the
gas-containing stratum, as eViuehceC
by the fact that it had been cleareC
by the immense pressure of the gas o.
all the sticky and putty like stuff wifi
which the remainder of the point wa
enyeloped. All the gas came II
through the small holes in the three
inch length of the point, while all tn
portion above was thoroughly clogge
up by the adhesive stratum OF clay.
The piping was pulled out OF IN
ground, but the gas continued to bup
ble and escape out of the ground TO
four or five Gays after, forcing its wa,
through sixty six feet of solid roc
and almost impenetrable sticky
Sormations
The reasons for pulling up the pip
and thus eventually cutting Oft the es
cape of gas are obvious and very sens
ible. There were none present, o
anywhere in the neighborhood, VIII
ever had any experience in tn
manipulation or control of gas well
There were cabins and other valuahl
property that would be in constan
danger from their proximity to viii
and uncontrolled gas well, whic
might at any time be ignited and be
come menace to property for mile
around.
1t is needless to say that the matte
will not be allowed to drop at thi
point A thorough and exhaustive in
vestigation will be instituted unde
Ehe superintendent of expert and ox
perienced adopts The discovery c
this gas, which in volume and pres:
ure, far exceeded anything in thi
line SO far encountered in the state {
Mississippi, will have the effect OF il
ducing u thorough probing into tL
secrets hidden beneath Mississippi
