Abstract

During the past decade no geological question has awakened more popular interest than that of the possibility of finding natural gas and petrolium within the limits of the State. In a number of places shallow borings have yielded from time to time sufficient quantities of natural gas for local use. At some of these places the citizens are kept constantly in a feverish state of expectancy which is ever ready to burst beyond all reasonable bound at the slightest provocation. There is scarcely a county in the State where the problem has not been agitated to a greater or less extent. Some have even gone to considerable expense in testing but without success.
