Note: The Earnest No. 1 gas well in the village of Wayne. 28 miles north of here, drilled In May 1 with a pressure of 3,000,000 cubic feet, caught fire today from a heater used to warm the gas as it comes from the two-inch supply pipe. Workmen from other nearby wells rushed to the scene and the fire was snuffed out In 20 minutes. No damage was done. This was the first gas well fire in the Tioga and Wayne-Dundee fields, which have a total of about 40 producing wells. The well was owned by the Olean-Finger Lakes Oil and Gas company and was being used to supply fuel for the boilers on three. wells being drilled nearby.
