WELL ONE MILE DEEP.
1t May in the Distant Future Be
Drilled Very Much Farther.
BIOLOGISTS HOPE FOR RESULTS.
West Virginia G. A. Z. Accept an Invitation
From Former Foes.
MINERS WHO DON'T WANT TO STRIKE


WHEELING, April 24.-L. G. White, OF
the Chair of Geology of the State Univer-
sity, arrived home from Washington with
an offer from the National Geological Sur
yey to bear a portion OF the expense OF sink
ing the we'll on Boggs run to the depth of
one mile. 1t has already been sunk to the
depth of 4, 100 feet and the only deeper we'll
is 4, 600 feet. To reach the depth of q mile
it will be necessary to sink the well 1SO feet
deeper, which would then make it by far
the deepest in the world. In order to do
this work at the nresent price of drilling
So per ioot-it will take $3.50, and it is
thought this can now be raised without any
trouble.
1t is hardly thought likely other gas or oil
veins will be struck, but it is deemed best to
sink the well as deep as science desires. An
accurate record will be kept of tine no doubt
many unknown strata which the drill will
pass through, and these will be placed in
crystal cases of the exact proportion OF
thickness OF the strata. These glass tubes
will be taken to Chicago for exhibition at
the Worlds Fair, and will be afterward
taken to Washington, where a close record
will also be kept OF the deepest we'll in the
world, the information to be used for the bene-
tit of all nations.
When the well is down below any other,
records will be kept by a self-reglstering ther
mometer of the varying degrees of heat, and in
addition minute observations will be made of a
magnetic nature. The Government officers will
attend the drilling of the well in order to take
these observations The casing will not be
pulled when the well has reached depth Of a
mile, but The we'll will be left intact SO that at
any time an appropriation can be made and the
well sunk as far as human ingenuity and mech
anism can put it. 1t is thought some strange
facts will be brought ont in fegard to the very
lower formations of the earth, and, as drilling
on that particular tact is rather easy, 1t is
thought nc trouble will be experienced in drill
ing as far as desired.

ATHLETICS AT PRINCETON.
The Management of the Grounds Have De-
cided TO Make Great improvements.

The Management of the Grounds Have De-
cided to Make Great Improvements.
PRINCETON, N. j., April M.-The manage
ment Of the athletic grounds to-day decided
to widen the entire athletic track three feet.
The 22O-yards' distance will be widened six feet.
This change became an evident necessity, so
large are the entries for the May games, in
order to prevent fouling and accidents This
change will be most important to bicycle con-
testants as it will do away with one sharp
corner opposite the grand stand. Jack Nc
Master has rather poor opinion of the ability
of some who had charge of making the track
for that kind of work. He will begin work on
the track tomorrow with a large force in order
to have it in good shape for the games.
At meeting of the University Athletic
Committee, held last night, the following i'm
portant changes in the athletic constitution
were proposed ana recommended for Submis-
That the Graduate Advisory Committee, con-
ssting of five members. and the Executive
Committee, consisting of the Presidents and
Treasurers Of the football, baseball and track
athletic associations, nnite and form what
shall be known as the University Athletic AS
sociation. of which the Chairman of the Grad
uate Advisory Committee shall be President.
The duty of the association will be to take
charge of the university athletic funds and de-
termIne other matters which affect the several
associations alike. Three meetings must be
held each year. OF this association there shall
be Finance Committee consisting of three
members of the Graduate Advisory Commit
tee and the Presidents of the football. baseball
and track athletic associations. 1t shall he the
duty of this committee to invest for the best
interests of the college athletics all money
paid to them by the Treasurers of the various
associations. This will not be the entire sums
each received, but the surplus after each
Treasurer. has met the liabilities of his asso-
citation and reserved $500 to start the next sea-
sons athletics.
The committee will have power to elect one
graduate member as Treasurer. who shall pro-
ceed in the disposal of funds only by direction
of this committee

TENNY OUT OF IT.
The Famous Race Horse Breaks Down and
Goes Out of Training.

The Famous Race Horse Breaks Down and
Goes Out of Training.
NEW YORK April 24-Tenny, the speedy
son of RayOn dor and Belle of haywood, is
again in trouble with the leg from which he
suffered before. and in consequence has been
put out of training. He was the favorite for
both the Brooklyn handicap and the still
greater Suburban, the rich spring events in the
East, and as he was quite heavily backed in the
winter books for both events, lot of money
has been lost on him, as he will not start in
either, if, indeed, he ever appears on the track
again.
The grand performances of the horse last
year made him famous wherever interest is
taken in THE Sport of Kings" and many had
hoped to see him do even better the present
season. Perhaps the gallant Little Swayback"
may recover from the injury from which he is
now suffering, and put more money in the
purse of his clever owner. ID. Il Pulsifer and
the many staunch and loyal followers of the
colt but the chances at present are all against
il. The loss is a heavy one to Pulsifer but
should Tenny prove unable to again face the
flag be has certainly paid for himself over and
over again, and his services in the stud will be
in great demand

ported that owing to this trouble there may

statement is entirely without foundation.
There is no question at issue between the
Duquesne Traction Company ami the

secure promptly the iron work needed for
the power house is alone responsible for the
delay in opening the road. AS matters
stand now, we expect to have cars running
