At Iola, in Allen county, there are a number of gas and min-

The Ben Acres well antedates all such wells in the state, as 
it was bored in 1873, while prospecting for coal. With com- 
mendable perseverance the managers continued to bore, till 
they reached a depth of 626 feet, when it was noticed that the 
drill dropped twenty inches and water and gas were forced up. 
At 720 feet the drilling was discontinued. The water, which 
flowed at one time as much as ninety-five barrels a day, comes 
up intermittently, on account of the pressure of the gas. It is

are some of the best gas wells of the state, and these early pros- 
pectors came very near making the discovery that has recently 
placed Iola among the first of the gas towns, and has brought
