of the Board of Trade, was called to the
chair. Mr. I". M. Johnson, who hus been
prime mover of the enterprise wns called
upon, and guvc bis idea for doing the
work.
"I think there is certainly something
under us," said Mr. Johnson, "and the
best and only way to ascertain is by
boring. If we don't find gn, we may
find coal, oil or salt, and the cost of the
undertaking is comparatively small when
the possible result is taken into consider
ation. In Indiana, recently, while boring
for gas, they found instead of that, a suit
deposit, and the well is now yielding
about 100 barrels of salt per day.

miss. The cost will be about Sl.L'Oll."
Mr. M. Wilson, of Mnrion, Indiana,
which is in the gns region, was present
and was asked to give sonic idea of the
wav it is done in his Stale.
"About three years ago," he said, "a
slock company was formed in our town
to bore a well. They did not know what
icy would find. The shares iu the coin
puny were worth $5 apiece, and most ol
the stockholders hud only one share. A
mnn was engaged to drill 10"i0 feet for
$1 ,500. lieforc reaching that depth, gas
was found. The town was piied, nnd
that well furnished gns for the whole
town for some time Since that time, n
number of wells have been sunk, nnd nil

To sny that the receipts from the sale
of tickets for the mouth of April nt the
local olfice of the Richmond nnd Danville

ceipt for Inst month were $10,000 and
these figure allow an Increase in the re
