CORDOVA MAY HAVE
NATURAL GAS SUPPLY
That natural g'ts exists In dose
proximity to Cordova, possibly in om
merelal quantities if weds, w. drill 'll
' to tap it, was demonstrated roe •nti>
by some of the skaters on Eyak Ink .
who. provided with a torch. set fire to
a number of gas hubbies which had
collected under tlie ire after tapping
them Some of these bubbles were of
considerable size, anil the blaze rose to
a height of from two or throe feet to
twenty feet in height.
11. A. Ives, the photographer, who
has held the belief for some time that
the constant bubbling In some parts of
the lake was caused by the escape of
. natural gas, determined to test it, and
tired a number of the bubbles, proving
to his own satisfaction and that of
others that his surmise was correct.
The gas bubbles up at a number of
places in the lake from North Arm
j
'ip to tho wharf at Oldtown Th< !
largest escape is near the head ..f tin
lake, on a line between Xorth Arm and j
Kyak bridge, and about opposite Clear |
water arm. where it is s>> strong that)
the lake does not freeze for n eonsid ■■
erable spaee at this point.
A similar escape of gas. which is
below high water mark near Flemming
Spit, is also reported from the bay side
of the town. If Is said that the escape
at this point is strong enough to burn
steadily, if lighted when the tide is
out, until the returning tide puis it out
This would seem to indicate a strata of
gas bearing formation running under
the town, anil some day mu\ prove a
valuable asset for the town. Cordova
