board of education leased a school property, getting $50OO down and 30 per cent of what the drill might find. The lease of an amusement park was sold for $160,000. A year ago the land, surface and all that might be under it, could have been bought for $500 an acre.
 The amount of money already invest ed in the field is placed by bankers at s2O,OO0O00. This is due to the high cost of everything, from drilling, which reaches about $2O,OO0 a we'll, to com missions of stock salesmen who are handling the securities of the ITO com panies now in the market. The most profitable concerns, however, are close corporations, and some of their share holders have paid many times over the amount of the original investment.
 The gas-bearing sand is from 5000 feet to 5,2OO feet below the surface, with the average we'll 3,10O feet deep. Pipe lines have been laid to some of the most important holes, and work is being rushed, day and night, on oth- CTS. There is everywhere in the field feverish desire to get the gas ont and the money in with the least possi- ble delay, and while some people are getting some money, experts agree that whole lot of investors and spec ulators are going to be disappointed

ANOTHER GAS STRIKE NEAR
 PITTSBURGH

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20 (by Associ ated Press). -spouting natural gas at the rate of almost 1OO,OOO,OOO cubic feet a day, the Snake Hollow field which is not yet four months old, al. ready has made a large number of persons comfortably rich, while some thousands of others are anxiously awaiting the outcome of their subter. ranean gamble in more than two hun dred wells where the drills are kept going day and night.
 The development, which became ap- parent when strong flow of gas blew the top off derrick on September 2S last, covers no more than one hundred acres of town lots in the outskirts of the little city of McKeesport, sixteen miles from Pittsburgh Efforts are being made by important oil and gas interests to extend the field. If these test wells, now being drilled, come in gushers, an important addition to he as-producing territory of Allegheny county will have been found If they are "dusters," geologists say, it will not be long until Snake Hollow will be a thing of the past, and dreams of wealth be nothing more than memory.
 Rock pressure, the measure of nat. ural gas at the we'll, was 1,60O pounds to the square inch when the first we'll came in. This pressure, experts say, has now been reduced to 500 pounds, indicating that already the field is be- ginning to decline. However, there are some twenty good wells in the field, and every we'll which reaches the Speechley sand, where the gas is found, comes in a gusher good for five million to ten million cubic feet. This can not last, for. the wells are drilled so close together that the pool will be exhausted very soon unless it is found to extend over a much wider area than that now producing.
 But while it lasts Snake Hollow is taking on all the features of a boom district where fortunes are made over night. Steep hillside lots which six months ago could have been bought for song have been sold for S1O 900. and leases covering spaces not big enough to hold drilling equipment have brought half that sum. Churches have leased their back yards, and schools have given over their play grounds to the driller for a considera- ton. In one instance the township
