COLD GAS USED
FOR OPERATIONS
IN OIL FIELD
_ i
PUMPS AND OIL MACHINERY IN
TEXAS FIELDS RUN BY GAS
NEWLY DISCOVERED
SNYDER, Texas, Nov. 21 (>P)—A
vast reservoir of “cold,” non-inflam
mable gas has been discovered in the
oil fields of this section and is being
used to operate machinery and pumps.
The gas is said to insure the most
economical operation in the history
of oil production. Small wells which
otherwise would require more oil for
their boilers than they could produce
are now operating at a profit.
For a time the gas mystified oil
men and chemists but it finally has
been analyzed as air containing 93
per cent nitrogen.
One of the strange sights here is
to see boilers producing pressure with
out fire. The gas is run into the
boilers' and in two minutes a pressure
of 125 pounds is attained. From the
boiler the gas is carried under pres
sure through the usual steam lines
to pumps and machinery.
The air has been used to drill three
three miles. Additional producers
have all struck this gas in sufficient
quantities to finsh their wells.
Men in the field use the gas for
anything steam would accomplish. All
they need to do is to turn the air into
the boiler which merely acts as a res
ervoir to equalize pressure. It is also
used to inflate automobile tires and
for refrigerators.
Watermelons, milk, water or any
thing the men wish to cool is placed
under the exhaust for two hours will
freeze solid.
The air itself is not actually cold,
but the release of pressure produces
the effect of cold similar to the proc
ess of manufacturing ice with am
monia under pressure.
The gas makes between three and
five million cubic feet a day from the
first well with a rock pressure of
more than 300 pounds.

FORMATION OF BIG ORGANIZA

UFACTURE FUR GARMENTS
WILL MARKET FUR BREEDERS
Serious Situation Confronting Small
Fur Men Said to Be Reason for
the New Company
SEATTLE—Men prominent in the
fur bearing industry of Oregon, Wash
ington and Alaska announce the for
mation of a large organization for the
purpose of manufacturing fur gar
ments and marketing of all kinds of
fur-beating animals for breeding pur
poses for the small ranches of the
Northwest.
Controlled production of foxes, mar
ten, fisher, mink, chinchilla rabbits,
muskrats and other fur bearers in
captivity is an industry that is in
creasing rapidly in all parts of the
world; and a large part of it is al
ready looking to the Northwest for
select foundation breeding stock. In
every direction small farms are
springing up but heretofore little
thought has been given to any sys
tematic methods of marketing the pro
ducts.
James H. Wheeler and other associ
ates of Petersburg, Alaska, are among
the world’s largest producers of fur
bearing animals. Wheeler is also as
sociated with Dr. V. R. Cline, George
H. and Charles G. Flanagan in the
Alaska Fur Bearers Syndicate of Se
attle with offices at 322 Cherry St.
They have formed a consolidation
with O. H. Skotheim and Albert Groh
of Portland in organizing the new
association to be known as the Alaska
Pacific Fur Production company and
will maintain offices in Portland, Se
attle and Petersburg.
ine AiasKan Islands of Channel,
St. Johns, Cohn and Level and farms
near Seattle and Portland will be op
erated by the new company. These
will be used as demonstration farms
and for the production of choice
foundation breeding stock with which
they propose to stock small farm
units that will supply their factories
with raw furs.
Patrons of the association may re
ceive a course of instruction in fur
farming under Albert Groh on the
demonstration farm near Portland.
The increasing number of small fur
producers has brought about a serious
situation in the marketing of their
products and the Wheeler interests in
Alaska and operates a chain of drug
stores there but expects to remain in
Seattle and Portland until all details
of the new association have been,
worked out.
The company is desirous of estab
lishing contact with all fur producers
in the Northwest for the purpose of
assisting the industry and placing it
upon a substantial co-operative basis.
Mrs. Fred Spach, wife of the city
clerk of Anchorage, accompanied by
hej son, Roger, were Seward arriv
als this morning on the Yukon.
Mrs. H. F. Heman and children,
Fairbanks residents, arrived in town
this morning from Seattle. Mrs. He
man is the wife of the well-known
iformer foreman of construction on
the Alaska Railroad, but who is now
associated with the big mining com
pany of the Interior.
Four boxing contests and one wres
tling match was held at Latouche
last night. Many passengers on the
Yukon, as well as members of the
crew, attended the smoker which was
reported as being very good.
Eyes Hurt When Reading?
If much reading makes your eyes
hurt try simple camphor, witchhazel,
etc., as mixed in Lavoptic eye wash.
The first application soothes the pain
and regular use of Lavoptic makes
the eyes stronger so you can read
and work more.—Seward Drug Co.
