News from Astoria
Astoria, April 22,-[Pacific Postal Special]-Work has been
stopped in the Warrenton gas well and will not be resumed until better
implements are secured. The drill has been driven down to slate. This is one of
the best indications for a good deposit of coal, and also for a flow of gas. The
strata so far have been found almost exactly the same as those in Southern New
York. Mr. Harrison, who has been doing the work at his own expense, has made a
proposition to the property-owners of Warrenton to sink a six inch well if they
will share the expense. It will cost about $5000, and as several men interested
in the development of that locality have signified a willingness to join in the
necessary outlay the prospecting will soon go on. Notwithstanding the fact that
the pipe has been driven several feet into the solid rock, gas still forces its
way out at intervals showing that there must be good pressure behind it. G.
Wingate who has had years of experience with coal and natural gas, was at
Warrenton yesterday and says he expects to see a good flow of gas secured.
Work on the jetty is progressing rapidly. Since the first of
April the men have filled in to the extent of 700 feet, representing about 1000
tons of rock per day. There is a working contingent of 150 men at the jetty, and
the present outlook is encouraging.
The steamer Cascades tows daily two barges filled with rock
from Fisher's Landing to Scow bay and they are then taken in tow by the Mendell,
which carries them to the jetty.
Elmore, Sanborn & Co's new steamer, the R.P. Elmore has her
masts in position and will be ready for a trial trip in a few days.
Constant complaint is being made about poor mail service and
the need of a daily mail in the Shoalwater bay section.
