ANOTHER GAS
STRIKE NEAR
PITTSBURGH
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20 (by Associ
is \
ated Press).—Spouting natural gas at!
(0f
the rate of almost 100,000,000 cubic [
feet a day, the Snake Hollow field, J
which is not yet four months old, al
ready has made a large number of j
persons comfortably rich, while some j
thousands of others are anxiously;
awaiting the outcome of their subter-i
ranean gamble in more than two hun- i
dred wells where the drills are kept j
going day and night.
The development, which became ap
parent when a strong flow of gas blew j
the top off a derrick on September 28 j
last, covers no more than one hundred ;
acres of town lots in the outskirts of
the little city of McKeesport, sixteen ;
miles from Pittsburgh. Efforts are!
being made by important oil and gas ,
interests to extend the field. If these
f test wells, now being drilled, come in
gushers, an important addition to (he
gas-producing territory of Allegheny
county will have been found. If they
are “dusters,” geologists say, it vill
not be long until Snake Hollow will be
a thing of the past, and dreams of!
wealth be nothing more than memory.
Rock pressure, the measure of nat
ural gas at the well, was 1,600 pounds
to the square inch when the first well
came in. This pressure, experts say.
has now been reduced to 600 pounds,
indicating that already the field is be
ginning to decline. However, there
are some twenty good wells in the
field, and every well which reaches
the Speechley sand, where the gas is
found, comes in a gusher good for
five million to ten million cubic feet.
This can not last, for. the wells are
- drilled so close together that the pool
will be exhausted very soon unless it
is found to extend over a much wider
area than that now producing.
But while it lasts Snake Hollow is
taking on all the features of a boom
district where fortunes are made over
night. Steep hillside lots which six
months ago could have been bought
for a song have been sold for $10,000,
and leases covering spaces not big
enough to hold a drilling equipment
have brought half that sum. Churches
have leased their back yards, and
schools have given over their play
grounds to the driller,for a considera
tion. In one instance the township
[^rrrrrrr..~
board of education leased a school
property, getting $5,000 down and 30
per cent of what the drill might find.
The lease of an amusement park was
sold for $160,000. A year ago the land,
surface and all that might be under
it, could have been bought for $300
an acre.
The amount of money already invest
ed in the field is placed by bankers
at $20,000,000. This is due to the high
cost of everything, from drilling, which
reaches about $20,000 a well, to com
missions of stock salesmen who are
handling the securities of the 170 com
panies now in the market. The most
profitable concerns, however, are close
corporations, and some of their share
holders have paid many times over
the amount of the original investment..
The gas-bearing sand is from 3,000
feet to 3,200 feet below the surface,
with the average well 3,100 feet deep.
Pipe lines have been laid to some of
the most important holes, and work is
being rushed, day and night, en oth
ers. There is everywhere in the field
a feverish desire to get the gts out
and the money in with the least possi
ble delay, and while some people are
getting some money, experts agree
that a whole lot of investors and spec
ulators are going to be disappointed.
