Fdvette's Gas GuSher Has EnOrnnOuS Pressure Has Stood Steadily At 63O Pounds Square Inch For Three Months -Prospectors Confident of Finding
 Big Deposit of Oil
 
By WALTER HARPER.

Fayette, March 2S.-(Special.) )-More than 100000 feet of natural gas is burst ing through the iron harness that is try ing to hold it in a 1400-foot well in the Slpsey swamps two miles from Fayette
 The we'll has a capacity of more than s,oo6, 600 feet per day. One hundred thou- sand feet have been wasting every day for more than two months. For 20 days prior to that time the we'll stood wide open and more than 100000 feet went up into the air every 24 hours.
 The pressure of the gas today strug- gling for freedom is 6So pounds to the square inch. There is no perceptible re- duction in the pressure since the first day it came hissing and roaring from the well on December 20, 1909 a little more than three months ago.
 Some of this waste gas is being used in running three large engine boilers used for boring other wells, for lights fin the camps, for cooking, heating and other purposes.
 T. H. Aldrich of Birmingham, who inspected the field yesterday, declares that it Is the finest quality of gas and that
  very rich field.
 Prominent Visitors
 A number of Birmingham people and about % prominent business men and town officials of Columbus, Miss, visited the well yesterday and last night. and all expressed themselves as amazed at the promise of both gas and oil.
 Two additional wells are now being sunk and it is believed by those interested in the development that both these clements will be found in large and paying quan- titles
 That Fayette and Alabama has gas well of powerful pressure there is no shadow of question How great and lasting the supply may be in the mys- terious bowels of the earth there is but one way of knowing When the two wells now being dug are completed some idea of the deposit may be ascertained. But like all developments of this kind only time can prove the actual value.
 Field Seems Promising
 Those familiar with the geological re- uuirements for the deposit of oil and gas declare that all conditions here are ideal for very rich field
 The developments are being made by the Providence Oil and Gas company, of which Dr. G. B. Grove is president The work is being done and the wells bored under the personal direction of S. A. Hobson, who is an experienced geol- ogist and mineral prospector. MT. Hob- son is the man who made the discovery of oil and gas indications.
 The discovery was quite accidental and adds an interesting feature to the his- tory of the present developments. Dur ing last year Mr. Hobson was prospect ing for coal and bored a well within q few feet of the tracks of the Southern
