Wyandotte Gas Well. 
In 1885 a well was bored at Wyandotte (now Kansas City), 
Kan., with a hope of finding oil or gas. Some oil and gas 
were obtained, and for several years the gas was used as fuel 
for a planing-mill near by. The oil has also been examined.” 
The water from this well does not contain as much salt as the 
bromo-magnesium well at Independence, still it is a strong 
brine. The depth of the well is 350 feet.
