The Allison Gas well located on the

miles north of town which is estimat-
ed to be approximately a 30,000,000
ft gasser is still growing in volume, is
the belief of those who have visited
the well the past few days.
Plans are now being made to test
both the quantity and the pressure of
the gas. This will likely be done the
letter part of this week, and we will
be able to report the volume of this
gasser in accuate figures next week.
Experts who have visited the well say
that the gasser is all that it is claim-
ed to be, and this being true, we have
plenty of fuel both for developing the
field and to supply the towns in this
section-
Mr. Allison, Manager of the Compa-
ny informs us that progress is being
made in the extension of leases and
only a few remains to be extended af-
