There seems to have been an increasing pressure of gas in this locality, if we may judge from the larger amount of mud throwp up during each succeeding eruption. These special saline mud springs with gas have a considerable "beating 'on the location of petroleum, and are, therefore, particularly interesting, especially when take? in conjunction with ft line of \ allied indications, extending for some .17 or 18 miles in length."-
