to the city so many smelters, brick plants, cement works, and 
other manufacturing industries. 
Even in these early days the flow of gas from this well was 
noticed, and it was estimated that 5000 cubic feet was given off 
daily. At the present day wells in the vicinity yield gas at a 
pressure of 350 pounds to the square inch, from a depth of from 
800 to 900 feet, and the yield from a single well is estimated at 
seven million cubic feet per day. Formerly considerable use 
was made of the water of the Iola well, and much was shipped 
elsewhere. Its use was especially recommended for bathing, 
and a commodious bath-house, with pumps and an arrangement 
for heating the water, was erected. The large building of Mr. 
Acres was used as a hotel and two cottages were occupied by 
boarders. The analysis of the water was made in 1876 by the 
late Prof. W. R. Kedzie,” then of Kansas Agricultural College. 
The temperature was 61° F. Its specitic gravity was 1.0138. 
Professor Patrick reports a small quantity of sodium sulfate, 
while the former analyst finds none. The amount of sodium 
bromid is reported as .04 grams per liter. The presence of the 
bromids and iodids in deep wells in this state is at present 
known to be not unusual. Brine flows from many of the gas 
wells that have been more recently bored in this county.
