KANSAS IS GROWING FAST
Industries Of All Kinds are sprIngIng
Up in Nearly All Parts Of
the State.

| AS Kansas is usually spoken OF as
an agricultural state, the average
stranger to the state never realizes
the great Industrial expansion that
has been going on the past ten years
or more. During this period indus
tries Of all kinds have sprung up, and
these have been stimulated largely by
the states enormous agricultural pro-
duction and by the. development of
great oil and gas fields, and of great
zinc and coal mines.
According to the Kansan Chemal-
lurgist, just published by the chemis-
try department of the University OF
Kansas, the total value of all manu-
featured products has increased
enormously; jumping from $19S,245,-
900 in 1904, to $328, 1886, 964.85 in 1914.
Slaughtering and meat packing, with
milling, make up about three-fourths
of the total value of the manufac-
tured products of the state. The re-
naming fourth includes such varied
Industries as zinc smelling and refin-
ing, the manufacture of cement, brick
and tile, glass, leather goods, salt.
paint and varnish, pottery and fire
clay products, wall plaster, paper, but
ter, cheese, condensed milk and other
products.
The thirty-five packing establish
ments in Kansas City in 1910, turned
out products worth $165,361 900. The
five hundred and one grist mills value
their products at $6S,476,000. Kansas
for forty years has smelted about one
fifth Of the entire zinc output Of the
United States. The total value Of the
zinc produced in the state in 1915 was
more than $40,O00.000. Kansas cannot
be left out Of the coke industry, be-
ing able to boast of sixty-seven bee
hive ovens In the southwestern part
of the state. There are twelve estab-
lishments for the manufacture OF
heating and illuminating gas.
Kansas in 1914 ranked third among
the states Of the Union in the produc-
tion of petroleum, having 3,412 active
wells, with an output of 3.103,505 bar
rels. Eighteen oil refineSies were To-
Gated in the state. The same year
Kansas ranked tenth among the states
in the production of coal, with total
output of 6,S6O,9SS tons, valued at
81 ,23S, 25300. Two soap factories in
Kansas City, Kans., are the largest Of
their kind In the middle west.

OIL WELLS IN THEIR YARDS
Many Small Investors are Making
Snug Profits at PaoIa-$f 900
Brings Big Returns.

Many vacant lots and back yards
In Paola, only forty miles from Kan
sas City, are punctured with holes ten
and twelve and sixteen inches in diam
eter and from. three hundred and nifty
to four hundred feet deep. OIL at
s1.55 barrel is pumped from these
holes. One Paola man has hole In
his chicken yard that since the price
of crude began ascending has been
bringing him a monthly revenue OF
$3.50.
The Paola proposition promises no
fabulous fortunes over night, yet Kan
sas City men who are interested there
talk of investment returns that shock
conservative bankers.
"a well, which costs only $1,000 to
drill and equip, perhaps settles down
to a production of three barrels daily"
said r. w. Coleman, a Kansas City
man who has money In the Miami
county field. "Such well pays its
owner $50 per cent"
The oil sand is near the surface.
The wells are from $50 to 400 feet
deep while in other fields the sand 10
not encountered sometimes until a
depth Of several thousand feet is
reached Drilling costs 81 foot and
II the well is producer the added
cost Of equipment for pumping raises
the total only to $1,000. Initial pro-
auctions Of 200 an $50 barrels day
for the first week are frequent.
Interest in the Miami county field Is
recent, but the existence Of the pro.
duction has been known for years.
Some wells drilled there fifteen years
ago, "strippers" oil men call them,
still are yielding three and four bar
rels day. The first prospecting for
oil west Of the Mississippi river was
near Paola.
