Spring In Pennsylvania That Flows
Pure whisky


While Silas Jones. a farmer Ilv-
ing near Smithton, Pa. was dig
ging trench in the east side
of a hill Saturday he struck an aban-
doned well and detected the fumes OF
whisky. Digging through the walled
sides he discovered liquor trickling
through the rocks. Tasting II he found
It to be superior whisky
When he recovered from his surprise
Jones procured a barrel to catch the
drippings and suspended operations.
Today he will try to discover the source
of the whisky spring, There are sew
eral distilleries in Westmoreland coun-
ty Some people think the whisky
comes from barrels buried In the hill
side many years ago when a distillery
Is said to have stood near where Jones
discovered the spring Other people
think that Gen. Braddock. when on his
march TO Pittsburg. hid the whisky as
he passed near this place. and being
killed in an engagement with the In
dams the secret died with him one
reason for this belief Is the finding OF
a cannon ball that was turned up by
Farmer Jones pick The discovery has
caused great excitement all over West
moreland county, Many people came
TO Smlthton to inquire about the spring.
