THE ELLENSBURGH CAPITAL

November 7, 1889

 

   The citizens of Cle Elum are preparing to ??? for natural gas in the town next week and will go down 2000 feet if necessary.  They will hunt for coal at the same time.  This is the kind of enterprise Kittitas county needs and the Capital hopes an unlimited quantity of both coal and gas may be found at Cle Elum.
