THE ka Ni-. UEYftER.
Tho Knut*' Oevser. ur -tjintu in - water well,
[ haa lately attracted much attention from the
sight-seeing public. The well is lituated in
the valley of Wilson's .fun, Penn, four miles
siniih-i-iis! from Kanpa, lt was drilled In the
Spring ol isT*! to ? depth of 2,000 tact, bnt,
as ao petroleum was I..nnd iii paying quanti
ms, ti,,, casing was drawn snd the hole aban?
doned. In drilling, fresh irs tn veins were
met with down to 'At\l toot, which was the
limit of the cueing. At 1,410 feet a verv
heavy " jraa-veia'' was struck, and thia gsa
waa allowed free escape while the drilling was
continued to 3,000 feet When the well was
nhandoued tbe fresh a tier flowed in. nnd the
conflict between tbe water and gas commenced.
Tin- wail i floe - mt., the well mi tm ol the gas
till the piessure ol thi confined gas l>e<
greater fbao the weight of tbe superincum?
bent water, wi.en un explosion fakes place,
and a column ol water and gas is thrown upto
a m. ni height, This occurs ul regulat intervals
ol thirteen minutes, ami the spouting continues
foi one rind a hall minutes. Th*" column, ;ic
r-ording lo measurement, varies in height from
108 to 138 feet. 1 be ? i?ol the mixttiri
