The gas field of Indiana, so far as it has | been developed, is confined to an area 60} miles long from east to west, and 20 wide | from north to south. The strongest wells seem to be in the western half of this area, | The northern line stretches from Kokomo on the west to Portland on the east, and the | southern from Noblesville to Winchester. The greatest flow of gas is found at Nobles ville and Anderson, with magnificent wells | at the intervening points of Fairmount and | Jonesboro. Within the area mentioned there | 30 wells in operation, as follows : | Noblesville, two; Kokomo, four; Hartford City, one; Portland, three; Winchester, | two; Muncie, seven ; Anderson, Fairmount, | Alexandria, Ellwood, Eaton, Pendleton, | and Jonesboro, one each, and Marion, three. | Each of these places is boring additional wells, while boring is also going on at Red are now O. | very | pleasant, but this is a good feature, as it will | coal and not for gas. Review of the AMS, Nos. New } pungent odor that is anything but enable leaks to be detected easily. At Portland, Winchester, Muncie, Marion, Noblesville and Kokomo, the gas is being utilized. At the other points it is being burned for show. The first successful well is the one at Eaton, and it has been burning for about six months. This well was first bored in 1876, the operators prospecting for The hole was only 2 WAT Dunkirk. Portland and Tipton every well in the men- Key, Ridgeville and Except at tioned area has furnished gas At Portland four wells were failures. At Tipton two trials have been made, both ending in dis- appointment. In Darke County, Ohio, or its immediate vicinity, rise three rivers which flow through Indiana : The Wabash, White, and Mississinnewa. All the gas has been found between the Wabash and White Rivers. The four strongest wells are at Noblesville, Anderson, Fairmount and Jones- boro, and they stand in the order named. Kokomo has the best group of wells. The wells range in depth from 865 feet at An derson to 1090 feet at Winchester. At Anderson, Muncie, Winchester, and Hart- ford City, Trenton rock was reached above sea level. At the other points it was not found until the drill bad gone below the level of the sea. Some of the wells give out water as well as gas, while others are dry. The water. however, in each instance comes from a point above the bottom of the well. The gas from all the Indiana wells has a! ER WORKS AT COBLENZ, inches in diameter. At the depth of about 600 feet a vein of gas was struck, which burned a flame 2 feet high. The well was then abandoned, the projectors thinking nothing of the gas. When the excitement about the gas find at Findlay, Ohio, got up, the owners of the Eaton well took a notion that they had been neglecting a bonanza, so drilling was again begun. At a depth of 890 feet, or 5 feet below sea level, Trenton rock was reached. The boring was con- tinued into the rock 32 feet, when a magni ficent flow of gas was obtained. The next well to furnish gas was at Kokomo, the depth being 918 feet, of which 30 feet is Trenton rock. Kokomo wasted no time, but at once began piping the gas into the city for practical use. Since then three other wells have been sunk and each furnishes gas in almost limitless quantities. Two of her wells are about a mile and a half apart, showinz that the gas field extends on all sides of the town. There is less than 6 feet difference in the depth of the wells. Marion the three wells are all south of the GERMANY, Hardware, Iron 66 and 68 Duane Street, New York. on north the furthest point be: and south wells is the Mississinnewa, but boring is going of the river. Marion i north at which Winchester the at Winchester | furthest point has n found, furthest The are weak Kokomo west. Winchester is the | highest point above sea level, it being 1089 | feet, and Noblesville is the lowest point, being only 770 feet. At Winchester oil rose in the wells to a hight of 75 feet and at ! Portland to 125 feet. GAS DRIVEN BY THREE OTTO superior quality, but the quantity was too limited to be utilized. Each of the two wells at Tipton also showed oi). The tirst well at Portland was bored toa depth of 1440 feet and ended in a failure. The deepest hole, however, is at Bloomington, Monroe County. It is 2730 feet deep. Water was what they were after. No gas, oil or coal waz found, but a small supply of sulphur water was obtained. This is the deepest artesian well in the world. The depths of the other famous wells are as follows: Crenelle, France, 1797 feet; Passy, France, 1923 ; Kissingen, Bavaria, 1878; Charleston, S C., 250; St. Louis, Mo., 2199, and Louisville, Ky., 2086.

Sooy Smith, an early application of the new Poetsch freezing proc ess is likely to be made in sinking a shaft toa he ol] was of a very | to and Metal Kntered at the Post Office, New York, : 7 ohy re nati 7 ’>q¢) ork, Thursday, ATayv to, 1887. was made to pass through this, but failed, after an expenditure of some $200,000. To sink this shaft the pipes would either have to be put down the entire length at the start, or it might be better to build the upper portion of the shaft so large that near the ends of the first set of pipes put in an offset could be made, through which a second set could be inserted. EEE Otto Gas Engines at the Coblenz (Ger many) City Water Works. Messrs. Schleicher, Schumm & Co., pro prietors of the Otto Gas Engine Works, at Philadelphia, Pa., have favored with some interesting information relating to the pumping at Coblenz, Germany. These are driven by so horse-power Otto twin engines, and pre ‘sent a very striking example of the rapid us ‘Trades. , station of the city water-works | is Second-' ss Matt pumps in a wate! plans worked out and p1 ted M ira the one used steam anid tl lie ‘ i i motive power.

The main facts concerning the plant were given a short time ago by Mr. E. Grahn, city engineer at Coblenz, in a paper publisbed in the German Gas Light Journal, and from this the following particulars have been taken The pumping station of the water-works of the city of Coblenz is located on the island of Oberwerth, in the river Rhine, It is de signed to supply on an average a little over 1,000,000 gallons per day, the maximum consumption being about 1,250,000 gallons. The water taken from the bed of the Rhine by two wells sunk water-tight down 16 feet below the Coblenz water-mark. They are 10 feet in diameter and about 500 feet apart, some 150 feet from the water's The pumping station stands in the between the two wells, and is edge middle bed of sulphur discovered several years ago| the suction pipes running to it are 16 inches in Louisiana. This occurs at a depth nearly 500 feet below the surface, and to reach it beds of sand have to be penetrated in which the head of water is 300 feet.

The Ferrule is firmly secured in place by a nut screwed on the bar. Particular attention is called to the way in which the handle is made and fastened to the shank. This Handle is made better and stronger than heretofore by using our new Cup Tip at the end which encloses the wood and keeps it from splitting. This is the only wrench which has the wood handle firmly secured and he!d together at each end, and it will stand more rough usage and last longer than apy oow made.
