NATURAL GAS MATTERS.
American Company VIII Declare n
Dividend in OctOber-AnOther
Firm in the Field.

eff indications count for anything,
there will be dividend declared by
the American Natural Gas company
some time in the autumn, say Octo-
ber,n declared one of the officials OF the
corporation yesterday. I'VE have pipes
all over the city right now and are
delivering the gas as far east as Oar
lington and are contemplating further
extensions TO more remote places. The
people are getting to believe that II
is the cheapest fuel and light which
can be obtained and are taking very
kindly to it since they are assured that
it IS safe"
The gas is now all over the city and
is being consumed by many private
families. 1t is stated that the average
cost of cooking a meal with the new
fuel is three mills. This knocks coal
all hollow The promoters of the en-
terprise say they do not expect TO
make any great inroads upon the coal
trade until after the cold weather sets
in. when business will be brisk.
An offer was recently made by a
local man for 100000 shares of the
stock The figures offered could not
be obtained, but they Were higher than
the selling price on the market by a.
great deal The purchaser wanted
that much stock and was not willing
to take less, unless he could be as
sured of getting ssle balance. There is
but little of the paper for sale, the
holders believing they have a good
thing.
A few small blocks of stock are We
ing hawked around by brokers at
various prices.
Speaking of natural gas, it would
appear that others are in a mind 10
engage in the same business. Two
permits were yesterday filed for record
with the county recorder from George
NJ. Spencer and wife and William Cook
and wife, to James Luke, allowing the
latter to bore for gas on the premises
which are described as part of section
IL, township south, range ! west,
containing % 66-100 acres, the price
to be paid TO be $50 per acre per annum
if gas is found.

any interruption with the work on the

as this class of construction will per

length.
But little work is being done ON the
canal systems of the company, the
energy of the working forces being
devoted to the dam and reservoir.
Now that it has been decided that the
storage of water is out of the ques-
ton for this year. the company has
determined to make haste slowly and
