SHELTERS.

From the Allen County Investor
1t is a notorious fact that monster
smelter enterprises have grown from
very moderate beginnings at both
Omaha and Kansas City. AT neither
of these cities have they single in
gredient made use of in the process of
smelting-the gold, silver, copper and
other ores treated are brought from the
mountains; the coal and coke used
must also be shipped from the points
where they are produced, and even
the limestone and other materials
used as fiuXes must be shipped to
these smelters, and yet they have
both been immoderately successful,
and from few thousand dollars orig
inally invested, each has grown to
extensive, rich concerns, employing
thousands of men and doing many
millions of business each year.
lola is a much better location for
such smelters. The ores smelted can
be delivered at this point at precisely
the same cost as at either Omaha or
Kansas City. We have here, too, a
first-class lime rock, carrying a large
per cent of iron, entirely suited as a
fiux, and above all other things and
advantages we have our natural gas
that would not cost smelling COM
pany one-tenth as much as the coal
and coke necessary in conducting
such a business.
All things considered lola is the
best location in America for a gold
and silver smelter.

NATURAL GAS vs. COAL.

From the nllen County Investor.
Considered as a fuel natural gas is
superior to any other for numerous
reasons. 1t can be conducted in pipes
to the place it is to be used and the
amount used can be regulated to an
exactness not possible with wood or
ceal by the simple adjustment of a
valve and without work. In the lola
gas fields we have no need for firemen
or "coal beavers" We have no SCOT,
no smoke and no ashes, nor will we
have when the 100000 cubic feet of
gas which the present wells are capa-
BILE of supplying daily is made use of
in the various ways fuel is and will be
used in this city.
In order to give an idea as to the
value of the natural gas here we will
compare it with coal, 100000 cubic
feet 1--WE have several wells that yield
more than that quantity daily is
equivalent for heating purposes to 347
tons of Cumberland coal; it follows
then that the lola wells at present
developed are capable of gushing out
fuel to an amount equal to 2O82 tons of
coal-over 100 cars of 20 tons each
daily.
We permit the readers to figure out
the value of Iola's natural gas. In
doing this you must estimate the val
ne of the coal at the mines-the rail-
road freight charges to be paid on 5
trains of coal daily-the cost of haul
ing this coal from the yards to the
mills, factories, etc., the number and

GAS AS A DOMESTIC FUEL.

From the Allen County Investor.
No one unaccustomed to the luxury
of natural gas as domestic fuel can
scarcely realize what comfort it is,
not only ia winter, but summer as
well; it can be lighted In an instant
and as quickly extinguished; it can
be adjusted to any desired tempera-
ture o. such as the weather demands;
it burns continuously, day and night,
and it is no mean comfort to wake in
the morning and find the house as
warm as it was on retiring, and such
a boon to know there is no ashes To
get rid of nor coal or kindling to hus-
tie for, and still more, that the gas is
less expensive than coal, not to men,
tien the annoyances in providing for
and in keeping up coal fire. A gas
fire is luxury appreciated by all,
young and old alike, but more
especially the Old and infirm, and
must be considered more healthful
than any ordinary fuel that under the
most careful management gives off
more or less noxious smoke and gaees,
vitiating the atmosphere and render
ing it unpleasant and unhealthy.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1896-07-10

wages of firemen necessary to feed
this amount of coal to the furnaces,
the trouble and expense of getting lid
of the ashes produced by burning
1000 tons of coal every day. 1t is
well also for the reader to take into
consideration the volume of smoke
and SCOT produced in burning. 1000
tons of coal each day, the actual dam
age it does to property in the COM
munity and the volume of cuss words
openly expressed or mentally reserv-
ed by people living in such a locality.
Again it is well for the reader to esti-
mate what thrifty city lola will be
when the time comes that its supply
of gas is made use of for manufactur-
ing and other purposes and to con-
slider whether or not this is not the
time for him to join us at the head of
the procession now forming while
prices of property are in easy reach.

MCKINLEY ATHOME.

McKinley's tastes are all simple
and his habits of living have not been
much changed since he was young
attorney. He eats heartily of plain
food, has good digestion, sleeps
we'll, and takes very little exercise.
His daily walk to his mothers house,
which is about half a mile from his
own, is about al the muscular activ-
ity he gets. He does not make use
of wine or liquors, although he is not
prohibitiOnist, aid he has no desire
to enforce his own habits, in this
respect on other people. He smokes
four cigars day, having lately pre-
scribed this limit, finding he has been
smoking too much. His social recrea-
tions consist III going out with his
wife to some neighbours house to take
tea and spend the evening, but
great many people come to see him,
and his house has always an inviting
atmosphere of informaIity and friend
illness encouraging to men and women
to drop in for chat with the Major
and his wife. Every Sunday he goes
to the Methodist church edifice in
Canton. There he has his member
ship and his pew; and he is one of the
sturdy pillars of the denomination.
At the same time there is nothing of
the bigot or the religious controver-
sialist in him. He never discusses
religion with the people ofother faiths.
He has his own belief and is entirely
willing that they should have theirs.
He owns property which would be
worth in good times about fifty thous-
and dollars. 1t is all in Canton, and
most of it in the form of a business
block. His failure in 1893 grew out of
his Endorsement of paper for friend
who ran little bank in Poland. All
of his property and all his wife's pro-
perty were put into the hands of three
trustees, and they managed matters
so as to pay off the debts and save all
the real-estate holdings of the
McKinleys in Canton. 1t is said that
the Major derives from his rents an
income of between three and four
thousand dollars a year. From

THE lola GAS FIELD.
From the Allen County Investor.

From the Allen County Investor.
The Palmer Oil Company came into
this field to prospect for Oil-that is
the first business of the company, and
has been prosecuted with much sue
cess in other oil and gas fields; il has
worked theoretically to that end
here; to it's efforts lola is indebted for
all but two of the monster gas wells
in this vicinity. The company has
expended many thousands Of dollars
in prospecting and casing off the
wells already discovered in compli-
ance with the laws of the state, and
although not discovering, as yet, oil
in such quantities as was hoped for
in the beginning, is by no means dis
Outraged, and has given their man.
ager, Mr.. L. c. Beatty, instructions
to push the work of putting down six
additional prospects holes, at such
points as he may select in different
sections of the lola gas field.
The Palmer Oil Company holds
leases upon $4,000 acres of land in the
lola gas field and 1900 at Neosho
Falls. BY the work of this company
alone this gas field has been shown to
cover territory more than five miles
in extent, but whether in length or
breadth, present developments does
not determine, but unquestionably
the additional work this company in
tends doing will go far towards de-
filming the dimensions of this vast field
which already has been shown to
rival many of the noted gas fields in
Indiana and Ohio.
Not long since delegation of the
eading men comprising this company
made lola an extended visit, and gave
this section a close scrutiny, which
only tended to give them stronger
faith in the possibilities of this dis
trict; they still believe oil in large
quantities can be discovered, but if
not, are entirely satisfied that the gas
already and to be developed, will pay
their company handsomely for the
money invested.
In conversation with Mr.. Beatty a
few days since, he intimated that his
company was ready to enter into con-
tracts to supply 2OO,OOO,OOO cubic feet
of gas daily within 80 days. Such a
confidence on the part of this COM
pany, with it's extended experience,
ought to go far towards satisfying the
most skeptical Of the extent and value
of this field and to inspire feeling
that lola is destined to become busy,
rosperous city.

GAS PRESSURE.

From the Allen County Investor.
The natural gas in the lola gas field
is confined under a most remarkable
pressure, in some wells as much as
400 pounds to the square inch, in none
less than 3l5 pounds. But few per-
sons, who have not given the subject
consideration can comprehend what
such a pressure signifies. To illu-
estrate, the gas wells in this section are
drilled approximately six inches in
diameter, the drill and string of tools
used in drilling after the gas sand
rock is reached and gas begins to
escape is increased in weight to
about 5000 pounds and still, such is
the pressure or lifting power of the
escaping gas that drilling must be
abandoned, greater depth can not
be attained because the gas pressure
overcomes the weight of the tools.
The area of six inch hole is 81
squa re inches. Now if we reckon tho
gas pressure at 800 pounds to the
square inch, it follows that the lifting
power of the gas in such a well will
be S481 pounds as against the weight
of the drilling tools 5000 pounds and
that but for the fact that these tools
do not fit closely in the drill hole, it
is easy to see they would go out of
the we'll with force equal to dyna-
mite.
