Hutchinson Daily News, Sept. 22.

WE WILL HAVE LIGHT!

WE WILL HAVE FUELl v-

*We Want the Earth and All There Is In It!

8outh Hutchinson Has a Dead Certainty for Gas* and Coal Before 5 Christmas.

The mammoth edition of the illusti'ated News is like time and tide: it can wait for no more. Yet we are almost tempted to hold back its pages that we may add to their freight of miggestive facts one fact more significant, perhaps, than they therein recorded, and'so at once cap all climax in this paper professedly devoted to Hutchinson. As we go to press at the last moment of delay, there^comes to os tho.most encouraging—if, indeed, we do not say most exciting—reports from the tig exploration well across the river, "which han been steadily,and persistently pushing its wayMown through every difficulty for the.fpast three months. "Without wishing to {be otherwise than conservative in a statement which is of such importance, which*holds such capicities for good or hurt to this town, we feel like saying in theseiclosing words of tho writing of these pages'!that there is every reason] on earth'^to supxose .that the

Ql'KKN CJITY

is within the next month or sixty days going to be in assued possession of the fact that she is located directly over a mine of wealth in the shape of

OAS AND COAL.

There being no reason evident why South Hutchinson should not find coal and gas as well aB other towns, in the valley which have dono so, a company of ample means was formed for the purpose of prospecting, and work began last summer. At llrst very considerable difficulties wore encountered in the way of a deep bed of (lowing quicksand, which made the boring at times well nigh impossible, The big ten-inch hole would choke up, and tho pipes could fairly be mushed to pieces before they would sink nil inch. Afoot a day was the limit of tho progress for a while. A hundred and sixty-live feet of this sand was Anally piped tii rough, Messrs. Palmer tfc Davis the ablo and experienced contractors in charge, jersevering through all trials. Smaller and smaller pipes were pushed down through the big pipe, and at last the report camo that free sailing was preached.

Tho well is now down over four hun lred feet, and tho Jwork is goingon beautiful. Over two hundred feet of rec rock and soapstone have4beon passed through, and this morning the drills are In tho shalo.BWhen Palmer & Davis state to us that they arejnow in ground or just such characteristics as that which in tho other Kansas|wells, andjindoed in nharts generally,"has invariably indi oatod^it. rUBSENCK OF COAI* of on very groat depth below in the Port Scott and other wells coal was struck at an averago dopth of six hundred teet and gas was usually found about two hundred foot lower down. The company are going down two thousand feet if neccesnary, but thorejseems to be every reasonable certainty that in a vorv^short distance more coal will be found. When the drill was in tho red rock,tho contractors said that shalos would soon be found and so Indeed', It was. Below tho shalos, say they—and so says general experience—coal audi sand rock will be found. In case sand is found below this, gas is almost a certainty. If bttnoath the shales .sand rock is not found, it is almost a certainty that the drill will strike lime rock. This/overlies the great Trenton sandstone, which aseverylwxly posted on natural gas matters-knows is the natural abiding place of gas in the wells of the middle section of the gas belt,. In Pennsylvania thejgas is more usually found in sniul rock. The prospeots foreitherthe Trenton rock or tho gas bearing aand roek Is every indication of the brightest invisible nature. 80 encouraging are these results that a weeond company has quietly been formed and will lwgin boring on this side of the river as soon as they can get their machinery. They will go two thousand feet if necessary. This has never been necessary anywhere in Kansas so far.

South Hutchinson Is on the line of the natural gas belt. Draw a line through the J*onnsYlvnnia °hio wells and you

strike

South Hutchinson. Draw a line through tho Paola and Fort Scott wells and you strike South utchinson. Draw a line from Kl Is worth along the discovered tread of the huge salt vein which has been struck there, and you strike South Hutchinson.

KRTKNI*, WHAT WOl'l.I)THKK HAVE? we are giving you the latest facta. We are giving you the record of si molar enterprises. We are giving the facte for comparison, we are not asserting that we have a flowing gas well here in South Hutchinson yet, we are only saying that the best of logic is but the comparison of one fact with another. We ask you to compare these facts, and reach your conclusion. Be your own logician. Out here, we have got that far long ago.

But as to the definite and certain results which will lie IneveUbly attendant upon the securing of coal and gss, or either of them, here, we can speck with absolute certainty, and the only trouble would be to make this prophecy big enough. Such an attainment would give the town an Impetus unknown before. We have seen rare times here, but nothing to what ws will hare. lb resume, we hold it ss an assured

fact that South Hutchinson is going to have both coal and gas. We see no reason why salt may not be struck here also. It baa been at Ellsworth, above us, and Kingman below us. Draw its line and the inference for yourself. We have always said that we Me but in our infancy. We can not help adding for the benefit of doubting Thomases, however, that there axe more things in heaven and earth, in Kansas, than are dreamed of in their philosophy.

DIAMONDS.

Watches and Diamonds Found in Tea and Coffee—A Novel Way of

Introducing Goods.

Tho names of all persons finding diamonds, watches, etc., are added to this list daily. The Overland Tea Company of San Francisco, has rented the store 405 Wabash ave., opposite opera house, and in order to introduce their goods, this company put for sixty days souvenirs in every can of tea or coffee sold, such as solid gold, silver and nickel watches also genuine diamonds in solid gold settings also money and m^ny other articles of less value. Every can contains a souvenir. The coffee, can and contents weigh about three pounds the tea, can and contents about one and one-half pouuds. This expensive and novel way of advertising will be discontinued after sixty days, and these really choice goods will be sold strictly on their merits, and the same price, same quantity, but without the souvenir. Of course every purchaser must not expect to get a diamond or watch, This company claim they have just as good a right to give away watches, diamonds, or otner jewelery and money as their competitors have to give away glasschromos, etc. Get up a club. Those who get up a club order always get a handsome present. Orders by mail promptly forwarded to qll parts of the United States on receipt of cash or postofllce order. Terms: single can, fl six for $5 thirteen for $10 and twenty-seven for $20. Address Overland Tea Company Terro Haute, Ind.
