LOVELAHD CPE((S.AI SHAFT
Frank Ioveland struck an ap
parently inexhaustible supply
of, "hot air" fast Friday after
noon in the well which he is
drilling in Madras They' had
reached a depth of about 330
feet when the drill ran into a
crevice, and' immediately the
warm moist air began blowing
out of the drill-hole, the air
coming out with sufljcient force
to blow away any small wooden
objects placed over the drill
hole. Mr. Loveland, who dis
likes to see anything in the na
ture of wasted energy, impro
vised a hot-air calliope by plac
ing a tin pail over, the drill-hole
and then fitting a French bar)
in the bottom of the bucket,
and this instrument discoursed
sweet music for the entertain
ment of the crowds of Madras
citizens who gathered to see the
strange phenomenon.
These "blowing wels" are pe
culiar to this section of Central
Oregon, several others having
been struck in this locality whiln
sinking for water. The cans'
has so far been unexplained bi
any one, further than that their
is evidently connection between
the crevice struck in sinking
the well, and some large sub
terranean cavern, and through
it probably leading out again t-
open air somewnerje along tn
hills of the Deschutes liver. It
has been known for manyj'eaix
that the water from he uppei
Deschutes escaped through
crevices when the river rises n
a certain height, coming out at
some point lower down on thf
river, and in this manner the
fact that the pesohutes, rive-i
rarely varies more than eighteei.
inches between low and higl
water marks has been accounted
for. There inay be some con
nection between this peculiarity
of the river and the phenomena
of the blowing wells. One pe
culiarity of the blowing wells is
that at times the air comes out
in a stronr stream and at othei
times it suckis in with eqna.
force.
Another pectUJavity of tli
well at this place is that the air
coming out of the shaft, is warm
er than the air at the surface,
and it has a peculiar odor,
which Mr. Loveland thinks i
that of petroleum. Indications
of petroleum have been found in
i number of places in this local -Xy-
