FORMALLY
OPEN NEW
GAS WORKS
MAYOR AND OFFICIALS VISIT
CITY COMPANY PLANT
REMARKABLE RESULT OF ONE
YEARS EFFORTS
Sartori-Miner Concern Can Produce
Five Million Cubic Feet Daily
and Has Forty Miles
of Piping

Mayor Arthur G. Harper yesterday
started valves that set in motion intri-
cate machinery which produced for Los
Angeles gas from one of the finest
plants in the world.
The City Gas company had its formal
opening yesterday breaking all rec
ords In gas plant construction and CIV
ing Los Angeles Immediately an addi-
tional available supply of 100000 cubic
feet of gas daily.
on August 20, 1907, ground was brok-
EN- for the concrete and steel plant, and
within six months the skill Of modern
engineers, the hustle of Los Angeles
capital and California spirit have
equipped plant that engineering jour
nails all over the country are pointing to
with pride.
Mayor Harper, the police, health, fire
and other commissioners, councilmen
and others, including about 150 stock
holders. and patrons visited the estap-
lishment at Tenth street and Santa Fe
avenue on the Los Angeles river banks
yesterday afternoon.
With Eye to the Future
The City Gas company has nearly
seven acres of land there and space to
enlarge its present capacity eight times.
All the buildings are designed with a
view to adding annexes and extensions.
Only few days more than a year ago
the necessity of another gas company
became SO strongly apparent that
number of moneyed business men, led
by j. F. Sartori and Randolph III. Min
er, started a movement to go into the
gas making field on their own account,
and out of this grew the City company.
The various speakers. including the
mayor, Fire Commissioner Anthony
m DraCf6anf II J.
M. Berkeley and Director W. M. Gar
land called attention to the rapid way
in which the gas situation has been
met, congratulating the promoters on
their work and Los Angeles on Its luck
in gaining so substantial an industry.
Forty miles of trunk lines have been
laid, the speakers said, in the district
between Eleventh and Jefferson streets,
the river and Vermont avenue, which is
the companys territory at present.
VIII Widen Territory
This will be widened as fast as men
can do the necessary construction work,
and material can be assembled. All
streets in the territory mentioned are
being honeycombed with service pipes
so that the thousands of contracts on
the City's books can be carried out.
1t is hoped that by June 100 miles of
pipe will be installed, every effort be-
ing made to satisfy the demands of the
prospective patrons to this extent when
the midyear has been reached.
Much of the material for operating
the plant has come from the east, the
miles of cast-iron pipe coming from
Admission, Ala, and Chattanooga, Tenn.
and the wrought-iron pipe from Lor-
raine, Ohio.
A SmokeIess Plant
The oil used in producing gas is from
the Whittier fields, that grade being
deemed the best for the purpose. A
heavier grade of oil is used for fuel
The appliances in the boiler room are
such that there is no smoke nuisance.
The process of gas making is much
the same as a. other oil using plants,

WOMAN MAY RECOVER
FROM BULLET WOUND
Mrs. Sophia MlIler's Life May Be
Saved by Remarkable Operation
Performed at Receiving
Hospital

Walter Miller, husband of the wo-
man who made a desperate attempt
to commit suicide by shooting herself
through the left breast Saturday. ar
rived in Los Angeles yesterday morn
ing and hurried to the county hospital
to the bedside of his wife.
The woman was greatly affected at
seeing him and declared she was sorry
she shot herself. After leaving his
wife Miller made arrangements and
had her taken to the California hos
pital.
Miller called at the central station
yesterday afternoon to secure his wife s
belongings which were taken to the
receiving hospital when she was taken
there for treatment Immediately after
the shooting.
my wife is of a melancholy dispo-
sition," said Miller. "She has not been
in good health for some time. She
would take notice of the least thing
that anyone would say to her, then
brood over 1t. She never threatened
to kill herself and it was a great shock
to me when ! learned of her rash act.
II believe she thought the neighbors
did not like her She brooded about
it, then suggested that she leave Bak-
ersfield and go to Los Angeles. l con-
sented, believing the change of climate
and different environment would bene.
fit her. In packing the suit case she
secured the revolver which l always
kept in the house and placed 1t among
the things she was to take with her.
"I told her not to take 1t as I was
afraid of it falling out and perhaps
killing her. She insisted on taking 1t
and let her have her own way about
the matter.
The California hospital reports the
woman was sleeping quietly last night
and that she has chance to recover
from the effects of the self-inflicted
wound
If she RECEIVERS her case will go down
in the history of medical science as
one of the most remarkable on record.

but many improvements have been
added here.
Two tanks standing on the river
bank, alongside the railroad tracks.
each containing 1900 barrels OF oil, send
their contents by gravity to the gener-
ators. There are four of these, each
with daily capacity of 1.250,000 cubic
feet of gas. The stuff then passes to
the washers and scrubbers, where all
impurities except sulphur are removed
by mechanical treatment.
The gas then passes to the relief
holders. big tanks whence 1t is pumped
through exhausters In the engine room.
All Sulphur Subtracted
The gas is then brought back to the
purifiers, where 1t is passed through
beds of oxide os iron. There is a lower
and an upper bed, each five feet deep.
Here the sulphur is absorbed. Success
full extraction of sulphur is the most
sought object with all gas makers next
to attaining high heating units. These
purifiers are built on the Chollar sys-
tenn and are reversible, a new feature.
The gas then passes through the ro-
tary station meter, the largest in use,
with a capacity of 100000 cubic feet
daily.
The last step takes the purified gas
to the distributing or storage holder.
whence 1t goes into the consumers
pipes.
The only byproduct at the plant is
water and lampblack mixed. This
flows into pits and Is used again for
fuel. This lampblack could be con-
verted into briquettes, but is not now.
The huge concrete buildings are SO
shaped that by knocking out curtain
walls each can be indefinitely extended.
Every piece of machinery is in dupli-
cate, so that there need be no break
downs. Extra air compressors, ex-
hausts, turbine blowers and all other
parts are held In reserve.
The Men at the Head
Manager A. Ross Is a widely known
gas man. For years he managed the
Laclede company in st. Louis, built the
r1odern plant at Boise, Idaho, recently
and is putting the best thought of mod
ern gas manufacture into the Los An
geles plant.
Vice President and Secretary Ran

day that his company was furnishing a
