Experts Say Pocket on Ma
gaw Farm Too Near Sur
face to Indicate Extensive
Field.
BURNS ALL NIGHT
Flow May Provide Owner
With Sufficient Gas to
Light and Heat His Coun.
try Home.

Although a free flow of natural
gas was released by well diggers on
the Wilson Magaw farm south Of the
city. yesterday afternoon. causing the
farmers living in the vicinity to in.
dulge In rosy dreams OF prosperity
last night, experts who visited the
farm today expressed the opinion that
the gas came from a small pocket
with limited supply.
NJ. c. Henley of this city, who has
had long experience with natural gas
supplies. visited the farm and esti-
mated that the supply would be SUI
ficent to furnish the Magaw family
with gas for light and Leating.
Pocket Near Surface.
The pocket Is too near the surface
to indicate any great supply" he said.
Large pockets are usually found at
a depth Of at least nine hundred feet.
1t would be Of not much use to go
deeper In this we'll In hopes Of finding
the large field which has supplied it,
for 1t may have seeped through tho
assures in the rocks from a point
twenty-five miles distant. However.
if it was my farm and had the money
to do it, would go deeper in another
place In an attempt to find a poke
that would be large enough to furnish
me with at least a permanent supply
for my own use"
Mr.. Magaw has not decided what &C.
ton he will take. Since building the
new house on his farm, he has had
trouble in getting water. The well in
which the gas was found was first dug
to depth of thirty feet, and then
drilling began. Gas was struck at 4
depth of 1873 feet.
Burns During Night.
Late yesterday afternoon reducing
cap was put on the well. and small
pipe attached. The reduced flow of
gas was lighted and blazed to height
Of six or seven feet throughnnt the
night. The flow weakened this morn
ing, but increased when the water
was cleared from the pipe.
This Is not the first pocket of gas
that has been found in the vicinity OF
Richmond. as several years ago Z
larger pocket than this was discovered
Oh North street. None Of these
showed large supply of gas, and
there Is little possibility of their be-
ing large field in this vicinity.
