In the early days of the industry,
tie burning of gas or oil we'll was a
common occurrence and the flames
could be extinguished only with great
difficulty. Equipment has now been
perfected so that the largest fire of
this kind can be readily handled.
Contrary to popular belief, natural
gas was known to exist even in the
times of the ancients. Before the time
of Julius Caesar, there was burning
fountain in what is now France. The
natural fires caused by inflammable
gases, which issued from fissures in
the rocks along the shores of the
Caspian sea, were worshiped by the
ancient Parsees. Gas wells are known
to have existed in Japan as far back
as 615 B. c. In China gas was taken
from wells drilled two thousand feet
deep for salt. 1t was transported in
bamboo pipes to certain palaces and
temples in which it was kept burning.

Prospects of natural gas in Rich
mond recall to many citizens the days
when almost every home in the city
was heated by gas. The housewife in
those days had little trouble starting
the fire in the morning, for all she
had to do was to turn a key at the
side of the range, touch a match to
the escaping gas and in a few minutes
she was ready to get breakfast.
This natural resource of the state,
however, was wasted, and only. too
late did the legislature pass bill re-
quring the closing of every gas we'll
not in use.
A Perfect Fuel
Natural gas, in the opinion of many,
is one of the most perfect fuels OBJ

1t is said that in Oklahoma over a
million cubic feet of natural gas

The bureau is now experimenting
