fueL To the locality furnishing these
essential requisites, must come an ag-
gregation of manufacturing plants
that will rival many of the existing
industrial centers. The object of this
article IS to direct attention to Gas
City, Allen county, Kansas, the hub
of the greatest natural gas belt that
the world has ever known. This city
is on the Missouri Pacific Railroad,
three miles from the county seat.
NATURAL GAS SUPPLY.
Scientific research and practical use
have proven the absolute permanency
of the lola Gas Belt, and further eX-
perimenting has shown that Gas Cily
Is i'm the center of the belt. Already
three wells have been sunk, the depth
varying from $40 to 500 feet. The first
one gives flow of 100000 feet and
the others vary from $4,000, 900 to H.
100000 feet. AS showing the perma-
nency of the gas supply, we would
quote from the report of Mr.. VIM.

Moore, Kollomo, Ind, an acknowledge
ed expert in natural gas.
"The largest and best well | found

Oil Company. 1t is one of the best

perfectly dry and has rock pressure
of 80 pounds and an open flow of

which is equal in heat units to 235

dence that there is Il large storage of
gas contained in the gas sands of
Southeastern Kansas. This we'll,
when drilled in, was an unusually
large one and the tubing prepared

which took eighteen days, During
this time the we'll blowout about g.

dininutiOn in its flow and remaining
perfectly dry all the time. was relia-
bly, inormcd of this fact by one of the
men who drilled this well and others
who observed it,
This is II very remarkable
teet of the stoILgc storage of gas
somewhere in this locality, and there
is no reason to doubt that future drill
ings will open up even larger wells
than this one
About II year later, Mr.. \. w.
Moore, also of KollomO, after eXamin-
ing wells drilled i'm since the f0regO-
ing report was made, writes rs fol-
lows:
"These wells are all dry and in
good condition and are the largest
wells ever measured. Indeed,
doubt very much if there are larger
wells in the United States. The csti-
mated thickness of the producing
rock is 100 feet, although the drlers
have never been able to penetrate it
more than % feet ON account of the eX-
traordinary pressure. Shut Off the
gas at the wells and apply the guage
and ii will Immediately show II rock
pressure of from 800 to 800 pounds"
These reports were made prior to
the development of Gas City, taken
with the wells since drilled at
Gas City, prove beyond II doubt three
things, viz The enormous volume OF
the supply; that the three wells at
Gas City yield II daily supply equal to
| 200 tons Of bituminous coal, and this
will run manufacturing plants re-
curing $4,000 horsepower; the per-
manency of the supply.
Ifany further evidence is necessary
to convince the most skeptical MS to
the practically unlimited quantity of
gas in the ueighborhood of Gas city,
II personal visit will remove all doubt.
MANUFACTURERS PLANTS.
1t is in this respect that Gas City
will make its greatest strides for, al
though considerable has been accom-
plished, still il IL infnitesimal i'm com
parison with what the future il
bound to bring forth. Among the in
dustries already located here and
whose plants are in course of erection,
are, the Smelling Works of the Cher
okee-lanyon Spelter Company, which

has purchased forty acres of land, The
Prime Western Spelter Company,
who have purchased twenty acres Of
land west of the Cherokee-Lanyon.
This Company will shortly have
their works completed, the erection of
buildings being well forward. In adj
dit on there are several other manu-
fa turing concerns that will locate
here as soon as the necessary arrange
ments are completed. The proprietor,
Mr.. T.. X. Tayltr, of lola, Kansas,
owns about eight hundred and lifty
acres of gas land around Gas city, and
is prepared to give genuine manufac-
turing undertakings such induce
ments in the way of gas supply, etc,
as will make it an object to them to
erect their plants.
LOTS IN GAS CITY.
The companies now erecting their
works at Gas city will employ about
700 men. They have agreed not to
operate, directly or indirectly, COM
pany stores nor to erect residences for
their men. This will necessitate the
erection of at least two hundred and
fifty residences right away. As these
residences will rent for eight dollars
per month, which can be, if desired,
deducted from the mans wages by
the Company, investors can at once
see what splendid returns would be
secured to them. Gas will he piped
all along the streets and be supplied
to householders at the rate of dollar
and half month per stove. The
price of lots are now SO to $3.50.
CONCLUSION.
The foregoing statement is confined
to facts, and yet one-half of what can
be said in favor of Gas City has been
left untold.

urging that there was nothing further
congress could do by remaining i'll ses-
