Scenes of Excitement at the Opening o.
a Gas Well


In the November American Maya
zine E. Alpert Apple writes a story en-
titled ANDY Reagan, Successful Fail
ure," in which appears the following dis
cussion OF the excitement attendent upon
the discovery of gas:
"A crowd OF several hundred had gath
cred near the oil derrick. Here comes
the shooterl' shouted a boy, and the
crowd scattered. A hundred yards away
someone stopped and so did the rest,
feeling-with the confidence which peo-
pie in danger place in others, but which
they do not have when they are secure
that it was safe distance.
"The shooter began impressive eere-
monies. He ran an aluminium measuring
line down the twenty-eight- hundred
foot hole, studied its marks carefully,
glanced at the sun, wiped his hands on
q piece OF waste, paused to remember
whether his insurance policy was paid
up--and lowered one hundred and fifty
quarts Of nitroglycerine that might ex-
plode at any moment down the well.
The tin tubes sank into the ground
past the surface soil---beyond the rock
through the series of sands-reached the
bottom and stopped. The shooter
dropped cast iron goodwill down the
deep hole and ran.
Nothing happened. At least, for sew
eral minutes.
"Then came a dull BOOM The ground
trembled slightly.
"An uneasy kissing came from the
wells 1t grew TO a roar. Presently a
vapor began to shoot up from the pipe.
Gravel and small pebbles pelted the der
rick cross arms like shot. Suddenly the
well coughed There were few prelim
mary squirts OF dark fluid. Then, with
a laundering roar, came a mighty gush
OF oil and the derrick was burst asunder,
falling in all directions, hurled in pieces
high above the ground. A black geyser
shot in steady stream into the air and
drenched the field for acres around
"The crowd went mad; shouted,
screamed threw its hats away, yelled
that it knew there was something there
all along. ran to tell the news.
"A gusherl shouted Reagan tremu-
lously, AT last-a gusherl
He could not hear his own voice above
the shrieking OF the we'll The boss drill
Ter wrung Reagan's hand and ran for
ward, Reagan could not move. He was
back in Olean drilling his first well. He
saw men guarding leases with rifles:
they sat on the tops Of derricks and a
half mile out was the dead line. He saw
himself make fortune and lose il in a
breath. He remembered Bradford; the
wildcats chased around his hillside boiler
house: there was fortune lost at Burn
ing Springs, Mannington-on his feet
again. Validating at Cairo, then on to
Caddo and the west Mexican coast
broke! And now
HE turned and stared, unbelieying, at
the well. The oil had ceased spouting-
it had vanished entirely!
"But the wen still roared- gasi gas
enough TO light city!"
