A Great "Want Killed *
Some tin PO months ago while paitios were
boilng a tube welt at tlio South Omaha union
block yaids to secino an additional supply ot
water , they struck a vein ol gas at the depth
of about 20) feet. Tills gas was supposed to
be natural gas , such as Is found in Pennsyl
vania , An analysis , wlilch was completed
only a few day sago , showed , hovvovei , that
It was nltiogcn gas , and not the natmal gas
used foi maiiitlactuiing , beating and Illumi
nating pin poses. Meantime n stock company
was or ani/ed In this city for the purpose of
boring for n.ituial g is. Thu capital was llxc-d
nt gJO.OCO. 'Ihe pilnclpal oiiani/er ; of tills
company was Mr. 1'etei I' . Her , who had bu-
comu an enthusiast on tlio subject of natural
R.as , and assuitcd that ho would bear the ex

among whom were such men as Herman

hloued some little surprise , It was not consld-
eied of vciy great Importance , as such thin
veins bad bulote been discovered in various
sections of the stale , and would not pay to
woik. In fact , thu discovery ofcoal was con-
hideied of such little consequence tliat the
men engaged in thowork failed to make men
tion of the find In ic-ports ot theh pie iess to
outsiders. Tliu boicis continued to
boio for natural ga , not ex

A coal mlnlnir company will bo onranUed
at once with ample capital , and mining will
be begun immediately.
In this connection it may be stated that the
Union Pacllic a few years ago bored an
artesian well near the west end of thebiidgo
and struck a v ein of coal at tlie depth of about
Blx bundled feet , buteveiy effort was made tn
keep the mattei quiet. Tlie public obtained
but very little Infoimatlon about the matter ,
and It w as genei ally given out in rather an
Industrious manner that tlio discovery really
amounted to nothing. It looks very much
now as If the valuable hcciot had been kept
with the Intention of not destroying the
Omaha maikct foi the Wyoming coal mines
of the Union Pacific , Hut tliu great bccret
has at last been uncov cred , and the era of
cheap fuel in Omaha Is near at band.
