Gas Well Causes
Some Excitement

Some excitment was evidenced this
week by the people of the Gortner
section who reported the shooting"
of a gas we'll on the Noah Beachy
farm, Blue Ribbon road.
Drilling to a depth of more than
5000 feet, the well has produced a
pressure of gas quite formidable but
hardly economical to transport it to
a pipeline for commercial use, accord
ing to officials. When the well was
uncapped Monday to resume drilling
the force of compressed gas gave in
dication to the neighbors that there
was heavier pressure on the line, but
this was learned to be Incorrect.
Drilling has been resumed this
week in an effort to penetrate the
sandstone layer through which they
are now working.
