NATURAL GAS: SEARCHING FOR GAS ALL OVER THE COUNTY OF WELLAND
The Provincial Natural Gas Company Believes there’s lots of Gas in the County-Securing Leases Everywhere-Why don’t the Welland Company Hurry up?
[Welland Telegraph, 24 April 1891]
Mr. Coste was in town on Wednesday for the purpose of registering various gas privilege leases, secured during the past few days, on farms in the county on behalf of his company. In reply to the stereotyped question “How is business?” meaning in this case the Natural Gas supply, he said, “there was any amount of gas in the county and that his company were doing everything to develop the same, at the same time stating that they were not confining their attention solely to Canada, but that Mr. D.A. Coste is at the present time locating new fields about 20 miles outside of Buffalo, between that city and Lockport, and they were in hopes that tests by drilling would soon be made.”
Other companies are desirous of sinking wells in Sherkston and its immediate neighborhood, some for the purpose of supplying the ambitious city, Hamilton, whilst others are anxious only to be patronized by the principal towns in the Peninsula. With so much competition the drillers must certainly reap a rich harvest before they get through, and the several townships should see that all the wells and piping are assessed up to their value.
