Big Pressure of Gas.
A vumber of business men of Lock
Haven and Williamsport, who are inter.
ested in the development of the natural
gas ficld at Hyper, visited that place and
are greatly elated over the fact that at
the shallow depth of 620 feet, a great
volume of gas has been struck in well
No 2. The flow of gas is steady in the
new well and the volume is so great
| that when the gas was tapped it was
deemed advisable to stop the drill until
the gas could be piped some distance
from the derrick, as a matter of safety.
This was done and drilling resumed at
once. It looks wow as if well No. 2 will
prove a stronger gasser than No. 1, and
much is expected when the gas sand is
reached at the regular depth of about
