and is pleased with the prospects for a
continued supply OF gas In the indians

winter and the more economic use Of the
fuel, taken together with the decreased use
OF gas owing to the large number OF fac
tories being closed or running light handed
By reason Of the dull times. are beneficial
TO the gas supply. and will doubtless tend
10 give IL q longer tenure OF life. Pro-
fessor Leach. In a conversation on the sub
ject to-day, said: The indications are
that there will not be as NAM gas wells
ciilled this year as there were last. On ac-
count OF the last mild winter the effective
efforts that are being made by the manu-
facturers TO husband their fuel supply and
the fact that many of the large consumers
are using but little gas This fall the

Tor new wells does not exist in many TO-
calitieS. While the pressure is decreasing

the supply will be ample for a number of

the amount of money paid to farmers and

picate of 1887 showed property amounting
10 $685., 5S5. In 1895 il was increased to
S26,9 1874. 40. Other counties have probably
increased in the same ratio.
An inspection OF the manufactures and
their gas supply will convince any person
that gas will be the fuel for manufacture
ing purposes long after its sale through
pipe lines has ceased to be profitable. Now
there is plenty fer all. Large industries
not located in the heart of the belt have
large pipe lines and sufficient territory to
protect their interests. Others more favor
ably located are using gas from wells in
the vicinity of their factory, two hundred
feet OF pipe. in some instances, being suf.
fcient TO connect the well with the burners.

that has never used but one well, 10 still

factories have records equs ly as good. An
Investigation further shows that coal and
oil can be used along with gas TO good
advantage and without serious incon-
Nenience in caSes where the supply fails to
come up to the full requirements of the
manufacturing plants.'
