PLENTY GAS LAST YEAR
FIGURES FROM THE REPORT OF
THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Use of the Natural Fuel Continues to
sure-Value of Production.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.-The geological
survey submits through Charles d. VOL
cott, director, the following report on nat
ural gas: THE consumption of natural gas
has continued to increase, although the
pressure. except in the new fields of West
Virginia, has continued to decline. The
value Of natural gas consumed in the
United States in 1901 was S27. .067 500. which,
at Is cents per 1000 cubic feet, is equiva-
lent to $50, ,450. 900 cubic feet. If it were
possible to store this gas in a cube, the
density throughout being equal, its sides
would be $3.50 feet in length, or $50 feet
greater than the sides Of a cubic mile. II
10000 cubic feet of natural gas be taken as
equal to one ton of coal, S,45s,600 tons of
coal, valued at 30 per ton. would be re-
Quired to yield the sum of money for which
the natural gas sold.
THE value of the production for 1901 was
greater than that Of 1900 by S3,36S, S,S26, or
over IA per cent 1t also exceeded that of
1899 by Sc, 6,992, ,627. 1t may also be interesting
to note that the value of the 69, ,3SS, ,194 bar
rels of petroleum produced in the United
States during 1901 was $66 All, 1886. and that
the value of the natural gas amounted to
40.7 per cent. of the value of the petroleum
for the same year, and that, further, when
the fuel value of the coal and wood dis
placed by natural gas in 19o0-which
amounts to $32, ,445, ,156-is considered. the es-
timated displacing value of natural gas is
nearly 49 per cent. of the entire value of
the crude petroleum produced in the same
year.
There were 1o2s7 wells producing natural
gas at the close of 1901. of which number
"A were not turned into the gas mains; loss
producing wells were drilled in. 453 dry
holes, or nonproducers, and 1,0S4 were aban-
doned. In 1900 there were 1928 producing
wells, of which number "a were shut in;
1,759 wells were drilled in the same year,
1853 were dry holes, and 991 were aban-
pipe laid during 1901 the mains varying
from two inches up to twenty inches. This
brought the total up to 2l,S4S miles Of
natural gas mains of from two inches to
thirty-six inches diameter in use at the
close of 1901

SPEECH BY w. j. BRYAN.



TOLEDO, O., Sept. 13.-William ]. Bry-
an tonight addressed an audience of 1000
people in the tent in which Mayor Johnson,
of Cleveland, is making his speeches during
the fall campaign. Mr.. Bryan came in
this afternoon and will make but one a6-
ditional speech during the campaign. He
was brought here through the efforts of
Mr.. johnson. Mr.. Johnson, in his speech,
spoke of Mr.. Bryan as 1.-The distinguished
orator and peerless Democratic leader"
Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow. of Cincinnati.
Democratic candidate for secretary of
state, and Mayor Johnson preceded Mr.
Bryan Both spoke on state issues.
Mr.. Bryan was received with tumultuous
applause when he introduced by the
chairman. Speaking of Mr.. Johnson, Mr.
Bryan said: How fortunate 1t is for this
State to have a man like Mr.. johnson, who
is so strong. so courageous. and who has
the ability to carry on this battle against
the organized wealth. and who can chal-
lenge them on every platform as he has
tonight If we had such men as he in
every State, within FIVE years plutocracy
would be driven into the Atlantic ocean,
No one will dispute what he says. He gives
you the nSureS. Inere Is no reason why
everybody should not understand He said
he had always been told that while Demo-
Gratis could not read. they were powerful
good at figures and he hoped that they
would he able to figure out this problem
correctly"
Mr.. Bryan recalled the fight of Mr. John
son in Congress ten years ago. when he so
courageously fought the representatives of
the steel trust when he himself was steel
manufacturer and 1t would have been to
his own interest to have had a tariff placed
on steel which would have permitted him
to make much greater profit than he was
making, yet Mr.. Johnson stood by the peo-
pie and by his constituents and fought the
steel magnates against his own interests.
IF we had more men,. said Mr. Bryan,
''who would quit making money in middle
life and devote their time to the better
ment of their fellowmen this country would
be considerably better on
Mr. Bryan was sorry Mr.. Hanna had ad-
vocated the perpetual franchises. for he
thought he had sins enough TO account for
''Yet IL Is possible" he said 'the people
who could not see his former sins would
be able to see this one. II they could, even
Rooseveit's oratory could not save him.
Hanna once said you cannot mix business
