Special to the indianapolis Journal.
PARAMOUNT, Ind, Sept. 19.-Two and
one-half miles west of this city lies the
mammoth pumping station Of the Chicago
pipe line, legally known as the Indiana
Natural Gas and Oil Company, against the
use of which, Arthur A. Brady. OF Num-
Gle, representing the association of manu-
facturers of the gas belt, filed four suits In
the Grant county court on Saturday last.
This station was commenced early last
spring and since that time an army OF men
have been at work on it. The agents of the
Chicago company ave been working on the
project for three years, with the result that
thousands Of acres of land In this vicinity
have been leased. both for gas and oil. The
average price paid is 81 an acre a year and
500 for each well sunk on the premises.
With spring came the well-drillers, and at
least twenty-five strings of men are now at
work west of this city. Hundreds of wells
nave been put down this summer and none
has been found to be nonproducers. These
are piped TO the pumping station. where
the combined pressure of twenty-eight
twelve-ton boilers behind seven thirty-ton
compressors, will send the gas on its jour-
ney TO Chicago, 17 miles away. Twenty-one
of the twenty-eight boilers have been set on
the foundations and two of the seven COM
pressors have also been placed in position.
When the gas leaves the compressor 1t is
with such force that the pipes become
greatly overheated. 70 counterfeit this two
large coolers have been erected. These con-
sist of miles and miles of large pipe, laid In
serpentine fashion and closely interviewer,

essential has been overlooked to make the
station perfectly equipped. Around the sta
ton a small city will be built, in which the
employees will reside. The work of drilling
has just begun. as there is a strip of ground
three miles wide and nine long, with many
intersections, east of this city, yet to de-
velop. The drillers will work through the
winter and until some time in April, unless
stopped by the courts. In the meantime
other companies are almost frantic in theiI
efforts TO lease land near here, and compe.
tition has raised the premium to $3.50 and
i even 81 20 an acre.
