10 DR|LL FOR GAS
At PLUMERY|ILE
NEW COMPANY FORMED
J. B. STREATOR TO BE BACKED
BY MORRIBTON CAPITAL IN
ANOTHER EFFORT.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat:
Plumerville, Feb. 1.-THE recent
death at Little Rock of Col. John B.
Jones, pioneer IN the search for nat
ural gas in the fields near PlumerviIle.
Will not stop the work, according to
j. b. Streator, the former Pennsylva
MA gas expert, who has been connect
ed with the investigations here for
several years. On account of poor
health, Col. Jones had practically
withdrawn from the operations here
for sometime, and the work has oeen
in charge of Mr. Streator.
A difficulty which has been in the
way Of successfully financing the en-
terprise was removed short time
ego when the old negro woman who
owned the land under which it is be-
lieved the gas deposits will be found,
was induced to sell the property. Mr..
Streator has been at work organizing
a company TO continue the drilling op-,
erations. A company with $4,000
capital stock has been formed and he
states that over half the amount has
already been subscribed
He states that the old well which
was sunk to a depth of $500 feet,
will be abandoned as it would be
more expensive to restore the broken
casing and put it in shape for drill
ing again than it would do drill new
hole. At 2,3O0 feet "a strong flow of
gas was found, but not sufficient
volume for commercial purposes.
Mr., Streator is strong in the belief
that an immense quantity of gas will
eventually be found and that Plum
erville, Conway, Morrilton and other
nearby towns will have an ample sup
ply of cheap gas for lighting and fuel
purposes.
