GAS POCKET HIT
BY WELL DR+LLERS
Roar Heard Several Hundred
Feet-FIoW Believed From
Subterranean Bog.

A flow of gas of sufficient force to
be heard for several hundred feet, but
which diminished in force after few
hours of flow, has been encountered
twice within the past 10 days by well
drillers in the section of Fairfax Coun-
ty, Va, adjacent to Mount Vernon.
The latest flow was brought in yes
terday afternoon near a house on the
estate of DR.. George T. Klipstein, where
an adequate water supply. The gas
was struck at a depth of 100 feet, the
same distance that it was found about
10 days ago on the farm of Gilbert
Fletcher, about half mile away.
For a time following the discovery
of the gas yesterday it roared 50 that
workmen were afraid to continue dig
ging, but today it had been reduced
to a boiling sound. On the Fletcher
farm it roared throughout the night,
Mrs Fletcher said and continued the
sound until the well diggers forced the
pipe for sufficient distance to cut
off the flow.
According to E. C. Gibbs, who lives
nearby, the gas was first encountered
about eight years ago on his father
place and at that time flowed with suf-
ficient force to blow off the cap when
dJUGHlptS WERE UldUG W IIOlO IL was
odorless and would not ignite and an
engineer who was called in described it
as a marsh gas.
Workmen said today that test had
once been made by the Bureau of
Standards, officials of which said that
the gas came from an old creek bed and
was approximately 10000 years old
Residents say that evidence of ma
rine life is to be found short distance
below the surface of the earth there
and that the best flow of water is en-
countered after passing through 10 or
IL feet of marsh mud that lies more
than 100 feet below the Surface.
