Strikes Gas On Iowa Farm Near Logan
The first natural gas strike in western Iowa occurred on the Frank Gilson farm east of Logan while boring an extension to 55 feet. A strong gas flow erupted, rock and sand shot into the air, drill lines were hastily raised, and the gas accidentally ignited. It burned until the well was blocked with sand. The well will be piped for a thorough test of gas pressure. The state geological survey has suggested gas and coal may be found in Harrison County.
