NATURAL GAS IS
FOUND EYAK
LAKE

That natural gas exists In close
proximity to Cordova. possibly in COM
mercial quantities If wells were drilled
to tap it, was demonstrated last night
by some of the skaters on Eyak lake.
who, provided with a torch. set fire
to a number OF gas bubbles which had
collected under the ice after tapping
them. Some OF these bubbles were OF
considerable size, and the blaze rose
to height of from two or three to
twenty feet in height.
II. A. Ives. the photographer. who
has held the belief for some time that
the constant bubbHng in some parts
Of the lake was caused by the escape
of natural gas, determined TO test II.
and last night fred number OF the
bubbles, proving to his own satIsfac.
ton and that of others. that his sur.
mise was correct.
The gas bubbles up at a number of
places in the lake from North Arm
clear up to the wharf at Oldtown.
The largest escape is near the head of
the lake, on line between North
Arm and Eyak bridge. and about op-
posite Clear Water arm. where IT is
50 strong that the lake does not freeze
for a considerable space at this point.
A similar escape of gas, which is be-
low high water mark near Flemming
Spit, is also reported from the bay
side of the town. 1t is said that the
escape at this point is strong enough
to burn steadily, II lighted when the
tide is out. until the returning tide
puts it out This would seem to indi-
cate a strata of gas bearing formation
running under the town. and some day
prove a valuable asset for the town.

short time will elapse before the selections of the
route routes will be made public
