For some time ordinance officers OF the United

tract Of land upon which to store the govern
ment powder and 10 erect works for the manu.
facture Of powder. The essential conditions
are, that the tract shall be away from the salt
air, which is said to have deteriorating inHu-
ence upon the article; rat ii shall at the same
time be easy Of access and easily fortified; that
it shall afford water power and have deposits OF
clay necessary for manufacture; that it shall 10
large enough TO contain q number Of magazines
ut such distances apart that the explosion of
one will not affect the rest, and IL il desirable
that the location shall be behind the forti6ca-
lions Of New York harbor. Locations have
been surveyed in New York, Pennsylvania, Con-
necticut and New Jersey. The tract known as
the Middle Forge property on the Green Pond
mountain, Morris county, N. j., few miles
from Dover, seems to have been finally selected.
At least negotiations have 10 far advanced that,
at the request Of the army officer in charge, q
bill was passed by the late New Jersey legisla-
ture to allow the United States to acquire q
title TO the land. The tract contains 400 acres
and belongs 10 George z. Fighter. Congress
has made an appropriation Of 800, 900 for the
purpose, and annual appropriations for main
tanning the magazine and mandatory win be |
made hereafter. 1t is expected that similar |
action win be taken by the navy department.
