NATURAL GAS IN PITTsBURGH.- Pittsburgh
has fresh hopes. Two Of her largest iron
manufacturers have purchased one of the
Immense gas wells OF Butler county, and
propose bringing that material to the city, a
distance Of eighteen miles, without any loss
of inllmmable power. This is believed 10
be perfectly practicable by means Of tublag
made especially for the conduct OF the gas,
and if found to work satisfactorily it is
thought that in short time all the mills will
seek the natural fuel. The advantages which
will accrue to the city, it Is claimed by the
Dispatch, will be very great: for not only
will the smoke, for which the place
is celebrated, disappear, but, says that
paper, the cost of producing iron will then
be greatly reduced, and Pittsburgh will COM
pete with far more ease than heretofore with
the cheapest manufacturing points in the
country. Beyond this use there is little
doubt that ultimately this Datura gas will be
introduced into the street-malnS and be used
for light. That it could also be used gene.
rally as fuel in private houses, has long ago
been demonstrated at points near the supply,
and the feasibility OF doing so here hinges
only on the experiment Of conducting it the
distance without loss of power. Pittsburgh
first obtained its importance from the vast
supply of coal lying in the hills around it,
which assured cheap fuel to its varied man.
