Active operations on the completion
of the system Of the American Natural
Gas company will commence on Mon
day morning and 1t is anticipated that
a fambeau will be burning on the cor
ner of Main and South Temple streets
before the end of the week. All of the
delayed piping is now in and yesterday
large gang of men were engaged in
stringing the mains along the route
laid out by the engineers. south on
Third West to South Temple street and
thence east to Main street. The south
end of the connected mains is now at
Seventh North and Third West streets,
SO that there are eleven blocks of the
system yet to finish up This work
will not consume many days, however
for both the trenching and pipe laying
gangs will be very heavy.
All Of the necessary preIiminaries for
the connection OF the ma tural gas syg-
TEN with that of the Salt Lake g. Og-
den Gas and Electric Light company
have received attention and as soon
as the mains reach the intersection Of
South Temple and Third West streets
a branch line will be run back to the
gas house, and there connected with
the converters and reducerg. This
branch line will then become the main
passageway for the flow of the ma
tural gas, which is to be distributed
throughout the city by means Of the

If the anticipated heavy flow of gas
has been encountered in the new we'll
being put down by the company at
the Lake Shore fields the officers of the
company are keeping pretty mum about
it. For some time past the well drtV-
ers have been proceeding with the
greatest caution, for they had no desire
to see the well get away from them
when once the How was encountered
Every precaution was taken and but
a few feet were driven each day, and
only then with extreme care. This well
is located about mile and a half
southwest of the Tuscarora and is in
the edge of the lake, some 5000 feet
from the Rio Grande Western track.
At a meeting of the board of directors
OF the Great Salt Lake Natural Gas
and Fuel company, another of the
companies which will do some extern
sive development work at the gas
fields, held yesterday afternoon, con-
tracts we're let for the driving of the
first well to be put down by the COM
pany. On Monday the removal Of the
machinery from this city to the old
French farm, recently leased from Lee
Grand Young by the company, where
the well is to be driven, will take
place, and by the end of the week ac-
tive operations will have commenced.
This well is to be put down in the
least time possible and there is no
question as to the striking OF heavy
flow of gas, for the farm is directly
in the gas district and all of the favor
able Indications are there.
More leases have just been OBJ
tanned by the company and it
now controls in the near neigh
borhood Of 1000 acres in the center
OF the gas district. Other wells are to
be put down within the next few weeks.
but not until that upon which work
is now about to commence. has reached
a depth sufficient to determine just
where the gas stratum lies below the
surface. a
