Woodman, President; W. A. S. C Constant, Second Henry LJ Neldenj First Driver. jTreasurer; John; T. Springer, Secretary, and these, with L: B. Schmidt; form the Board of Directors. After this organization there was correspondence and the placing of the company in connection with Eastern capitalists, who stand ready to aid in pushing forward the development of this great enterprise. So jmich for past history of this interesting locality and great gas find. Now for whait the company have done, and what they propose to do. They own 2231 acres of land covering this central portion of the gas belt, aud they control by lease or bond some five or six thousaud acres more. These contracts give the company all the rights and privileges they require for sinking wells and extending pipes through these lands. These franchises hold gold for fifty years. In Vice-Preside- Vico-Prpsidei- it, " IT1XII):AY 3IOIl!NTNGry . '"535, nt; ' ATHtOLDWELL., November a well sinking plant was takn to a place only a few rods from the site of that spring thirty years ago, and work began in sinking wells. Tho first well ' pipe, driven some two or three hundred feet, tapping a put down was of flow of gas. This gas was turned into good use by extending a pipe to tho furnaco under the steam boiler, and using gas for fuel in making steam to sink a well was soon driven' down, with its casing, 502 feet, whilo tho well. The "wash rod" a pipe through which water was forced down was run down some of the thirty or forty feet farther. Little did the men engaged in this work think wash-roWhilo in come. tho to was which strike working engaged great gas there came a rumbling noise, followed by louder and louder reports and concussions when there arose ?ucli a stream of mud, wator, gas and debris as to crush and scatter mud, sand and shale so far around a to cover the little engine-hous- e This geyser continued to flow the full size of tho a circle of 200 feet in diameter. pipe, throwing sand and stone into tho air some two hundred feet high for about twelve hours, when it became clogged and workmen were again able to reach the top of the well in safety. Since then tho well has been opened a number of times to show the hundreds who went out from tho city to see it what a great well tills one is. A steam guago attached to the pipe has shown pressures from 120 pounds per square inch at first, up to to over 150 pounds now. Tho company has been delayed somewhat in their progress in not having some machiuery they need, etc., but in a few days they will bo fully at work sinking other wells down into the shale in which this gas basin is located. They proposo putting down a large number of wells In a line extending southward from this ono towards this city, and a pipe will bo laid to bring the gas to tho city limits, from whence it will bo piped to all parts of the city. With tankage the present well is large enough to supply a pratty good sized city with light and fuel, but this company proposo to have numerous wells, that a portion of them may rest while others are in servlcfc. This great gas find and enterprise means more for this city than it is possible at this writing for any one to calculate. It means a great reduction oT fuel for all purposes, while in the niauufacturo of minerals, the smelting of ores, natural gas furnishes tho best medium yet known. It means tho establishment here of great manufacturing interest and such rapid growth of tho city as to more than parallel the growth of, any other Western city In the past. In short, thoro has been no event in the history of Salt Lake City which has augered so much good, much future progress and growth to the city as this discovery of natural gas, and tho development of It and its adaptation to tho uses of men, as will be brought about iiuthe near future. It .will open a now and brighter era than tho conservative citizen can realize or imagine at this writing, and when its benefits dawn fully upon our citizens they wiil say with one accord, "All hall natural gas." AGO SHIFTY of YEAIS water, charged with gas, gushed out of' the ground at a a of this miles which ha's the pasi few years north fourteen place city, point been known as Lake Shore. Some one placed a barrel over this spring, its lower head knocked out and the upperouo with a hole bored therein. This permitted the water to How out at tho bottom, while the gas aroso to pass out of the augur , hole the top. When lighted the gas thus collected burned with a bright light, with much heat, and men would stand around the flame to warm, and thus the place became noted for its gas spring. Some six or eight yekis ago Mr. Oarn drove a stnall pipe to the depth of one or two hundred feet near this old sprlng.and this tapped a- strata of gas and water. Ho was disappointed artisan Water of .'much value, because it cam up so charged with sand and clay as to be for domestic purposes, but it proved to be a whole wood pile or coal bin in , miififc yTaluo as a fuel. The top of the pipe was equipped with an elbow,: and a pipe continued on to a barrel laftl In Its side, with an augur hole in the end" at the bottom of the Head, while a piece of tin so covered tho outlet as to make the water rise a foot abovo the outlet hole. This devlco, rude as it was, permitted tho gas to separate from the water and occupy the space above In tho barrel, from which It was conveyed by pipes, connected with the hunghole of the barrel into the house a few rods distant. By means of this piping and a few feet of hose1, with a com- mon garden nozzle at the end, the gas was taken to the heating anid cocking stoves and burned with such an Intense heat as to meet all requirements for fuel in the houso tho year round. Of course tho flame was regulated by turning the faucet In the iiozzjo. Other wells were put down close to tho residence ol. Mr. Garn, one group of which served to do as much in boiling salt in vats as It had required1 several cords of wood per day to accomplish. Another inch well was set on fire and permitted to burn for months simply, as a curiosity, tho flame running up teb or twelve feet high, and In Its balloon shape would spread out three or four feei. -- Theso incidents' of the past have all pointed toward a great reservoir of natural such pressure as to force portions of gas up through crevices in gas beneath, with, stratus until it reached-thsurface and escapes in the air. the various People have ofted talked about tills gas and tho possibilities of, turning it into the nerve to make the experiment useful channels, and yet none seemed of tapping the basin, until a company was organized less than one yar1 ago. However, prior to this organization a few men went to work towards securing lands by purchase or under leases and'bondsjthat a company might be secured in advance for such labor as they would, perform ari'd capital invested in sinking wells and piping the gas to tho city.

This theater or "Opera House," more euphooe-ousl- y but less precisely speaking was like all the projected theaters to surpass the creations of the Old World and the New. Many folk were Incredulous until there was a gathering from the cardinal points of the compass, of Leavitt, the widely-know- n theatrical manager; Wood, the celebrated theatrical architect, aa-- a host of local capitalists, who were to balance experience and knowledge by a due amount of capital; capital being a trifling but essential cpneomltant in the erection of all great artistic works. The house was to be bullded and consecrated ere the new theatrical year, should have been ushered In; or, worldly speaking, by Sep'j tember 1st. Some slight discrepancy In the comblna-natlo- n mayhap the movement of; capital caused the brilliant dedication to.be postponed. At the Warder Oranid, In Kansas not yet on when the Im City, the roof was mortals, Booth A; Barrett, opened it. The new Salt Lake Opera House, however, was still farther In arrears, for at the appointed time neither walls nor foundations were done. Only the plans had been erected. In another direction, however, vigorous progress bad been made: not in the erection of a new theater, but In the rejuvenation of an old one. The "historic" structure on the corner of State Road and iFirst South had long been celebrated for excellence of Interior design aud convenience of arrangement. It had, however, in the advance of recent years, grown an offence to the artisThe seats, moreoter. were a tic eye. reminiscence of sterner days In Zipn.

An! attempt toward a compromise was made In the way of a coat of paiut; but the worst enemy of the Theater would not accuse It of being flamboyant architecture. It has been a very prosperous year for the Salt Lake Theater, financially. That, how-ev- e r, should be a subject of gratification, rather than Jealousy, for eertainTy artistically the year's drama has surpassed previous records, there has been an almost unflow of good plays 4nd players, interrupted and the Theater has furnished sufficient capacity for jthe city's patronage: Within tlte past moon a new theatrical enterprise has been announced. Another opera house has been planned, and to us has been confided the dimensions of Its stage. Its seating capacity and Various other numerical data which alt to read and no one remembers. This delight comes to project us, with the stamp of genuine Intention. If carried out it will give to Salt Lake another structure of artistlo and architecbeauty tural skill.

This lime the enterprise Is backed by no mysterious com- -' but Is fathered by two pushing.' pany, irited citizens, who have already numerous flattering testimonials of brick and mortar In our Rocky mountain ' metropolis., J ust now one theater Is all that a city of this size requires.

Some of these singers are plain country people who have not had much idea that they could accomplish anything in the ' musical line. But Stephens has culled out the musical part of the Mormon, community, he is gathering them into that choir, and already has the reorganized choir in such good trim that they are capable of handling music ;that Iswould be thought beyond their reach. It proposed to send the choir to Chicago to compete for the prize at the World's Fair with the greatest choirs of the world. ' The 'Mormon Church will pay their expenses, and in this connection it has been urged mat the '.territory send; the Choral Society, thus giving Salt Lake City a fine representation at the World's Faiif. The results from uniting the society and the oholr for the Gilmore festivals were so satisfactory that there is a strong pressure brought to bear to make the union lasting. At present the two bodies have resumed their state and are rehearsing on separate spinster evenings. JUVENILE CHOIK. There has also been organized in this city a unique and pieasing body of slrfgers, known as the Juvenile Choir, numbering 500 fvoices. These little songsters are picked from among the host of Children in. the Mor-;mChurch Sunday schools, and as children lare Utah's best crop, the "woods are full on s'ern." So there is an abundance of material fto select from, and may be supposed 12.000 to 15,000 children bugbt to furnish 500 acceptable juvenilis voices. This choir was organized early irii the year by Conductor Stephens, and made its virgin appearance In public at the matinee on the last day that Gilmore played in this city. They did very well, winning encomiums from the press irrespective of party. The kids appeared again on Christmas nightin a concert Id the Tabernacle ijchen they did themselves proud, Their talented conductor has got these children in a very satisfactory musical shape, and as be told tho audience the other night, he is raising a body of fine who will one day bring lingers in this city renown to it. And it is musical glory and his intention to likewise start a juvenile band aud orchestra fronk among these little musicians, so that inside of ten years Salt Lake will be a city of musicians and of the highest musical culture.' There is no son why Zion should not! be the the ay reuth of America.

TheTern pie ton Hotel parlors, and evening in the much progress was made. But the harmony In the organization did not prove "aiose" enough, and discord got the best of the boys with the usual result. Doc Wilson, one of ihe most energetic members, moved- to San Francisco, and when tho club adjourned for ihe summer it was pretty well understood that it would not meet again Jn the fall, and It didn't. The club did succeed. though in bringing out some fine bass singers, and got them enlisted, for good in the cause of the ' " divine; muse. : ";- The progress of the divine art In this city has been most encouraging during the year. The first decided step was the June festival of the Choral Society which was rnado more noticoable by the4 appearance of Myron W. Whitney and Emma Thursby as the prinsoloists of the .occasion. The festival cipal was a financial and artistic success, the only drawback being the absence of an orchestra or band to accompany the chorus. This, however, was not due to any fault of the conductor or the directors of the society, and it was determined thsn that on the occasion of the next festival that such accompaniments as were deaired would be ready. This determination has been carried out as will appear later. The enthusiasm started by this festival encouraged Conductor Stephens in bis project to Btart branches of the Choral Society in the other and larger centers of the Territory, and to have them so trained that these branches could be brought into the larger and parent body when the next festival came 'round, and produce massive effects in the Tabernacle where a military bani and the creat organ in unison with the chorus would bring out some of the finest ensemble work the world has ever seen. Choral societies have been organized in Ogdeu and Provo, noticeably in Provo, and at the May festival of this year there to be a magnificent chorus. Myron ought W.

Arrangements were made quickly too quickly, some thought, as Gilmore managed to get the lion's share of the proceeds, and; then 11 was decided to unite the Choral Society and the Tabernacle Choir for the occasion of the Gilmore festival in the Tabernacle which had beensecured without any trouble by Conductor Stephens, This was; quite different from the experience of a former occasion when Gilmore's agent labored for weeks before he was able to call open sesame.. The Gilmore festival was given in November when a chorus of 700 voices welcomed and bis men. Mr. the great band-mastGilmore bad beard a, good many choruses, but he was surprised at finding such an aggregation of talent among the Salt Lake singers, and when the "Hallelujah Chorus" was sung, there rolled forth u glory of melody that almost carried the audience off its feet, and astonished the gentlemen of the Tweatyisecond Regiment band and their leader. It was with pleasure that Salt Lake anpeople beard the great; band-mastnounce that In the following October be was coming this way with a band of 100 men, and wished that Mr. Stephens would have a chorus of 1000 voices ready for him.
