Ashland Now Has Two Large Gas
Producers. II.

AT 10 o'clock today the news was
flashed over the city that another
gas wen had been struck in the
region of Murphy's Springs. An

a well on the McCown property not
far from the well at Murphy's
Springs, struck flow of gas this
morning at 10 o'clock at 55e feet.
The flow was pretty strong when
first struck, and Mr.. Vansant kept
the drill going until this afternoon,
when another feeder was apparently
struck and the flow was so strong
that he had to step drilling. 1t is
said by those who visited the scene
of this well that the flow is now
even stronger than that which de-
yeloped at the Murphy WE'LL This
