I The new president of the board of
works will not be appointed before
July 80, stated Mayor Zimmerman this
morning. The mayor stated that he
had practically made his choice of the
four names before him, but that since
he had heard something new" his
ichoice had narrowed down to two per-
sons. He said that he could not di-
lvulge the names of these men, but
that they would not be shop men.
my first choice would be a shop
man. stated the mayor this morning,
.'but shop man can not afford to
leave q good position to accept the
presidency of the board with assaur-
iance of employment for but sixteen
months. My term expires at the end
of 1913. and it would not pay a man to
turn down good job to take this po-
lsition for this short length of time"
The choice is believed to lay be-
tween Charles w. Jordan and B. A

Dennis De Haven, of South
Fifth Street, Makes Start
ling Find on His Premises
Yesterday Afternoon.
TWENTY FOOT BLAZE
SHOOTS FROM MOUTH
Fire Department Was Called
to Subdue the Flames that
Threatened His House for
a Time.

What is believed to be one of the
richest veins of gas or oil ever struck
in this part of the state, was found on
the lot Of Dennis De Haven. on South
Fifth street. just below L. while drill
ling for water.
Ed. Hockett was in charge of the
work and had reached the depth OF
113 feet through solid rock. when sig
nificant fumes suddenly permeated the
air. Thinking that il might be are
damp or some other gas, he lit a
match. A blaze sprang forth that was
fifteen or twenty feet high. II was nee
essary to call the fire department to
extinguish the blaze. (which was done
by filling the hole with mud and wet
blankets.
De Haven, who recently moved to
Richmond from Logansport where he
has been connected with various oil
and gas companies operating wells
He said he believes that he has an ex-
ceedingly rich vein of either gas or
OIL
The work Of drilling the well had
been in progress during several days
Various kinds OF minerals has been
brought to the surface. and several
large specimens have been preserved
which resemble silver ore.
Much of the 113 feet drilled passed
through solid limestone rock. When
the point of the drill reached q few
inches past that depth fumes OF gas
began to pour forth. The pressure
was exceptionally strong Hockett
threw a lighted match down to the
hole which Is about six inches In di-
ameter. about Ave feet below the sur
face while on the level II Ii about six
feet. The column OF flame that shot
forth threatened tho house a few feet
distant. The flames were subsided af-
ter hard fight by the fire department,
bucket was placed over the hole
and wet blankets and earth were piled
about and over the opening. Even this
did not prevent the fumes from escap-
ing so that the De Havens were forced
to spend the night with neighbors.
This afternoon Mr.. De Haven win
put a four inch casing In the well and
cap II, SO that the flow of gas will be
stopped. The drilling will proceed to
a greater depth to see II oil can be 10
Gated
Tests will be made of the gas to see
whether IL is of good quality.
AS a result of the find ON the De
Haven lot, a number of oil and gas
promoters from various parts of the
state have arrived on the scene.
Mr.. F. B. Wharton. general manager
of the Richmond gas company expects
to investigate the well on the De Ha-
ven place this afternoon He stated
that he did not believe that gas wells
would be located which would produce

led to write to the west today to get
prices on five carloads of fifty tons

found to be very satisfactory last win
ter. and is much cheaper than the
ihay at the local market. New hay,
with several hundred pounds of wa
