POWDER RIVER FITTING NAME
IT WILL RESPOND TO MATCH

ARMADA, Wyo., May 81. - Pow
der River is fitting name for the
stream which passes through the
northeastern section of Wyoming
it burns
Burning water exists in several
places on the river where natural
gas is found bubbling up through
water. Some bubbles will ignite
when a match is applied.
During the winter peculiar forma-
tions are caused by the gas seep-
ages. When the river is frozen
over, gas accumulates under the ice
and as the pressure gathers. it
forces thin sprays of water through
the weaker spots in the ice and
these sprays freeze in curious forma-
tions of arches and low pillars.
The gas does not make the water
unpalatable for drinking. In Ar
vada there is drinking fountain,
the water of which can be set on
fire at any time.
