Wise discovered mat a water well on his lot had turn-’ etl into a gasser, when he held a lighted match over the top of the pump. This well, 65 feet deep, went dry two years ago. Since then. Mr. Wise has heard occasional rumblings coming from the well but he thought nothing of it until he learned of -the gas well at the Webster home. Mr. Wise has had his “gasser” tapped anti the gas coming from the well is furnishing fuel for a light in his store and for cooking ami water heatleg in his home. * Each one of the two wells is said to be producing at least 2,0D0 cubic feet of gas per day. Figured at the rate of $2.50 per thousand, the rate paid for the artificial gas in Van Wert, each j well is producing sf> worth of gas . daily. How long the flow of gas will last is problematical. F.
