NATURAL GAS FIGURES
VALUE OF PRODUCT FOR 1905
SHOWS BIG INCREASE.
Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee

Oil Output - Alaska's Gold
Story Romantic.

Westinghouse Statistics prepared by
the geological survey of the natural
gas industry show that in the calcp.
dar year 1905 the value of natural
gas produced and sold exceeded that
OF any previous year by $3,066, O99
The total value Of the gas produced
and sold was S41,562 ,S55. The great
est increase was in West Virginia,
$l,96l,655 more than the previous
year. Pennsylvania shows an in
crease of 81 ,057,442.
Louisiana appeared for the first
time as a producing state and mo-
table increases over previous produc.
lions were shown by Kansas, Okla.
homa and Indian Territory Kansas
showed an increase of 40 per cent.
over its previous production, and the
combined production of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory was 161 per cent
over 1904. The great gas fields of
Indiana have steadily declined since
1902 and the value of the output last
year was considerably less than half
of the maximum production. Ken.
lucky and Tennessee also report de
cline.
The statistics show that 2,i39 per

ed to the geological survey their use
OF natural gas during 1905. The
number of domestic consumers sup
piled was 779,63S. A total of 1869 es-
Establishments, including iron mills,
steel works, glass works, brick plants,
etc, made use of natural gas.
During the year 1905 the oil fields
of the United States produced 1884,
1850 barrels of petroleum, as
against 1l7.0S0,96 barrels In 1904, ac.
cording to a report issued by the
United States geological survey. This
was greater by 17,636,62O barrels than
the production of any previous year,
although the value of the oil pro
duced was sl701S,056 less than that
of 1904.
During 1905 there was notable
lack of development in the midconti-
mental oil fields and the completion
of pipe line from Humboldt, Kan,
to Whiting, Ind, marked an impor-
tant step in the transportation of oil.
No romance has keener interest
than the story of the development of
the mining industry in Alaska dur
ing the past decade, also issued by
the geological survey. 1t is attested
roughly by the increase in the value
of it's annual output from S2,000,000
in 1896, to over s15,000,000 In 1906.
The gold production of 1905 increased
probably go per cent. over 1904.
An important fact in the advance
ment of Alaska's mineral industry
during the last decade, says the re-
port, is the great reduction in mining
companies which has taken place dur
ing this period. The pioneer miners
of the Yukon could not afford to han
die gravel averaging less than $40 or
SIS to the cubic yard. In the same
district good wages can now be made,
even by crude methods, in extracting
gold from pay streaks averaging less
than five dollors to the cub yard

ONE OF LlNcoLN's STORIES.
Senator Foraker Uses Anecdote to
Draw a Parallel.

Before Senator Foraker was elected
to the Office he now holds he practiced
law in Cincinnati, says the New York
American. It is said of him that his
fees were larger than those of any
other attorney in Ohio. 1t is generally
known that he is a poor man so far
as earthly possessions co. Senator
Plat, of New York, asked him not
long ago why he held himself down to
a $4,000 job, whereas if he confined
himself TO legal practice he could grow
enormously rich.
II am told that you get bigger fees"
said the New Yorker, that any
other attorney out your way"
Which reminds me of one of Mr..
Lincoln's stories" answered the Ohio.
