A reporter for the Free Press visited the prospect well at the fair grounds this morning. WorK was begun on the well last Monday and is progressing nicely. The drill and rigging make an-immense outfit much larger than the one used by Rages Co. in drilling our wells. On the 75 foot derrick hangs an immense cable and a 13 inch bit.

The well has now reached a depth of 45 feet. The well is 25 inches in diameter and this sized hole will continue to a depth of about 60 feet or past the gravel sand. It will be cased with a wood casing which is now being made by the drillers. From 60 to 220 feet the well will be reduced to 13 inches and a casing of that size will be used. From there to a depth of 1000 feet and 10 inch casing will be used.

The casing will be re- duced as the well gets deeper ending! with a 5 inch at 2500 feet. No water has been struck yet but the drillers expect to find it a few feet lower The drill Is running only during the day now, but will operate day and night as soon as another driller ar rives from Burden. He is expected in a few days. Mr. Hueselton, the con tractor, informed us that he will com mence repair worK on wen jno.

as soon as the drillers in his employ at Burden are through with the work there. When the drill gets to run ning 24 hours per day the well will go clown rapidly and we will soon know whether we have a gas well, oil well or a "dry hole." A CHAT WITH Mil. BAGNALL. J. II.

Bagnall, vice president and treasurer of The Gas, Oil Develop ing Co. of Independence, was in the city Thursday morning on his way to Dexter to look after his interests there. Mr. Bagnall is a part of the the firm of Pauline Bagnall, who drilled the Dexter gas well. He was interviewed by a Free Press reporter this morning concerning' the Dexter well and his recent scheme to pipe gas to the towns of this locality.

wnen asKea me uexter gas would ourn, he said "We have no trouble convincing gas men whether it will burn or not. The gas is of fai quality and when reduced to a low pressure, makes good light and heat. The reports circulated to the effect that it would not burn in an engine and in different ways, are all fakes. "now mucn gas nave you over there?" was asked. "Between seven and eight million feet," he replied.

"It has increased probably one million feet in How since its discovery." The Dexter well is 682 feet deep. ana ine voiume ana quality or gas is as reported, there is no better well for its depth in Kansas. The firm of Pauline Bagnall is now drilling on the W. E. Meredith farm northeast of Dexter, where they have already reached a depth of 700 feet.

Reports that the machinery had been moved out of the Dexter field, are erroneous. Down at the Al bright well below Dexter, drilling has ceased, but it is said another well is soon to be started. At Burden a depth of 1485 feet has been reached with Indications good for striking gas. Mr. Bagnall says there are fine de posits of shale on the Meredith farm He has sent samples of the blue shale away to be tested.

A sample of the pink clay, he sent to CofTeyville and had made up into tiling, which is said to be very fine. A sample of it can be seen at this office. Mr. Bagnall's company is promoting a scheme to pipe gas from Elk Falls and Dexter to Arkansas City, Win field, Wellington, Mulvane and Wichita. The plan is to lay a 12-inch line from Elk Falls to Wichita, a distance of about 50 miles, and connect it with a branch line running to Dexter.

The cost of such an undertaking would be over one million dollars, but the pro moters seem confident of their ability to interest capital in the scheme. Mr. Bagnall says Wichita is anxious to have gas piped in, but when asked what he thought about the anxiety of Winfield, agreed with the reporter that there was little chance of piping gas here, until Winfield was at least satisfied that she could not find herself. Mr. Bagnall says that the company intends giving twenty-live cent gas to the above mentioned towns.

ABOUT DRV WELLS As this city is having trouble with the abandoned gas wells and is threat ened with a lawsuit on their account, the following from the Chanute Blade may be of interest: "Several of the operators in this field who have its interest at heart, have recently made complaint that there has been a lack of proper plugging of dry holes in the field, and are now looking around for a remedy for this evil. It is claimed that in many in stances dry holes are abandoned without being plugged and that salt water holes are left open in the same manner. "The laws of the state require that such holes should be properly plugged i for Hot weather is hard on good eyes and especially trying to eyes that are naturally weak in any way. Defects of vision are apt to be aggrevated in warm weather, because the system is debilitated and the muscles of the eye are relaxed.

"Concerning this matter the Kansas Derrick says: 'It issuggested that an association for mutual protection be formed and that an inspected be ap pointed for looking after this branch of the business "and other matters which may come up for the mutual benefit and protection of all parties. A meeting will probably be called of the oil men at Chanute in the near future to talk this matter up in the local held, and it appears to us that it would be a good Idea for the different fields to join in an association of the character named and cooperate with the Chanute The recent marriage of a couple of cripples, each having only half tne proper comple ment of arms and legs, was noted by the press as a "con nubial curiosity." But who notes the mar riages which occur daily in which both parties are cripples in neaitn.
