GAS WASTE IN CADDO
FIELDS Is STARTLING
GOVERNMENT REPORT GIVES
FIGURES AMOUNTING TO
$5,450,000.

Western Newspaper Union Newz Service.
Washington.-A report of the Blu.
reau of Mines on the natural gas in
dustry of the country, says that an I'M
mense amount of natural gas Is wasted
in the Louisiana fields. The waste in
Louisiana is estimated at 75,OOO,000
cubic feet of gas daily, valued at $780,
900 for each day, or $5,45O,O00 for the
year. This waste of gas is equiya-
lent to nearly one million tons of COAL
1t is pointed out by experts OF the
bureau that this waste is especially
aggravating because Louisiana has no
coal within her boundaries. and that
while the state is allowing Its supply
of gas to escape in the air the citizens
are paying for coal that has to be
transported long distances.
There were three principal wells
in the Caddo field from which the
greater part of the waste occurred
last year." says the report. "Two of
these have been closed by the owners,
thus proving that closure is feasible.
No attempt has been made to close the
other. The gas from this we'll has
been going to waste for three years.
Two other wells, having an estimated
volume of twenty to thirty million Gu
bic feet per day, burned for two years.
In the Caddo field at least 100000 600
cubic feet of gas has at times been
wasted daily, practically all the waste
being preventable.
