John Hodder and ono of tho

set the first of this week and re
ported that Walter Iloddor had
struck a strong flow of gas at a
depth of 3G0 feet while sinking
a deep well for John Leako just

seems Mr. Hodder and a man
who was helping him were re
moving the drill rods when a
sudden roaring sound was fol
lowed by a rush of water and gas
that shot high above the surface.
A second explosion was witness
ed but later subsided. Tho rush
water was accompanied by a
e'onsiderable amount of stones of
various sizes together with sand
and mud.
There is reason to believe that
a strong flow of gas and oil un

this will cause some investigation.
We have nothing late regarding

The amount of deposits represent the money placed in the

The capital of this bank is ample to meet the demands of our
