dent of the company, estimates that during the past five years his corpora- 
tion has taken on the average 6,500,000 cubic feet of gas per day from the 
territory. | 
The Ohio Fuel Supply Company.—The Great Southern Oil and Gas 
Company entered the Sugar Grove field in 1897, its purpose being to sup- 
ply Zanesville and intermediate points with gaseous fuel. It is popularly 
known as the Zanesville company. On May 1, 1902, the corporation 
transferred its entire property to the Ohio Fuel Supply Company. Be- 
sides Zanesville the following places are supplied—Bremen, Rushville, 
Somerset, Roseville and Crooksville. It is scarcely necessary to state that 
by far the greater portion of gas is consumed in Zanesville where the 
following factories are supplied: 
National Biscuit Company, gas for heating ovens; 
Schultz & Company (Soap works), gas for boilers ; 
Zanesville Art Pottery Company, gas for kilns and boilers; 
5S. A. Weller, Pottery, gas for kilns and boilers; 
L. K. Brown, Brick and Clay Works, gas for gas engine; 
Roseville Pottery Company, gas for kilns and boilers; 
Eastern Tube Company, gas for furnaces; 
Faience Pottery Company, gas for kilns and boilers; 
Zanesville Stoneware Company, gas for kilns and boilers ; 
Mosaic Tile Company, gas for kilns and boilers ; 
Ohio Pottery Company, gas for kilns and boilers; 
J. B. Owens, gas for kilns and boilers ; 
G. W. Karns, gas for glass making; » 
Muskingum Valley Steel Company, gas for boilers and furnaces; 
American Encaustic Tile Company, gas for kilns and boilers ; 
Brown Manufacturing Company, gas for welding and general pur-_ 
poses ; | 
American Chain Company, gas for furnaces and boilers; 
Kearns Gorsuch Glass Company, gas used throughout plant; 
C. W. Stine Pottery Company, gas throughout plant. 
In addition to these establishments the company supplies gas to a 
large number of residences, offices, stores, etc. In the summer and fall 
of 1902 the company laid an eight inch line to the Homer field and began 
using gas from that territory November 19th. The net rates reported 
are 20 cents per thousand cubic feet for domestic purposes and 12 cents 
for factories. 
Before connection was made with the Homer field the company was 
not able to supply fully all the factories named, and it is very doubtful 
if the new field will long provide an ample quantity. In the territory 
around Sugar Grove the company had 17 producing wells in September, 
1902. Early in the year just named the organization constructed a pump-
