Show INCREASED GA PRESSURE SqpplY Greater Than Ever and Practically Prac-tically Inexhansttible The New American Gas and Fuel company is having an easy time in refuting re-futing the canard started by certain parties that the gas fields north of this city had failed in their supply for it Is demonstrating daily that with the wells now in active operation i could supply a city twice the size of Salt Lake should occasion require and that within an hours notice it could furnish fur-nish a half million feet of gas the croakers to the contrary notwithstanding notwithstand-ing ing ingYesterday Yesterday mention was made of the cleaning out of the Johnson well This well was driven eighteen months ago and when ga was encountered the pressure was from 134 to 150 pounds and from this spouter the company furnished 250000 feet of gas daily Friday this well was cleaned out and sunk ten feel further in the gas stratum and when the connections were made yesterday the spring guage registered a pressure ranging from 260 to 270 pounds and if a Mercur guage had been used the pressure probably would have been greater There never has been the least resemblance re-semblance to the truth in the report that the gas supply was failing and the company states that I anyone has any idea that this is the case the best thing for him to do is to order gas and then reach his own conclusions by the service rendered From 7 a m Friday to 7 a m Satur day the company furnished the Salt Lake and Ogden Gas and Electric Light company 316284 feet of gas and could have doubled the amount if desired de-sired As an indication of the way the fake report affected the stockholders of the natural gas company it is only necessary neces-sary to state that since i was sprung most of the heavy holders have gone down in their pockets and paid the 2 cent assessment on their stock |
