MINING FOR SILICA AND FELDsPAR.

h1N1NG3 FOh SILICA AND FELDSPARs
 W. A. Bennett, one of Southbury's leading citizens, has purchased another silica mine in connection with those own ed and operated by him. His recent pur- chase is in Branchville. It consists of feldspar and silics of a superior quality, which is eagerly sought for by New York and New Jersey parties. These parties have made MT Bennett a very flatteripg cfter for the entire output of his mines which he has under consideration. His mines are under the supervision of Mr Williams of Danbury, 8 thorough and competent man, to go into the bowels of the earth and bring forth shining dollars for his employer. For the kno wledge of those unacquainted with the quartz, 1t may be stated that some of the finest crockery is made from the combination of the two, also paints and wood filler. Any one wishing a specimen of this beautiful quartz can obtain 1t by sendir z to W. A. Bennett at Southbury.

TAKES A SUDDEN BATH.

As a very pretty young lady of this place was on her way home from the postoface, Saturday evening, on arriv- ing at the bridge below the blacksmith shop. she either became absent mi1ded or mistook the flowing stream for a pub- lie bath, for she left the well beaten path and rushed boldly into the clear cool stream, nor dld she falter, but gaIlantly struck out for the opposite shore, which she reached in safety very much refresh ed. Don't know what her views are now on immersion, but your correspondent would suggest that sign be put up at that place to the effect that is is not public bath, ar else hereafter some of the young men offer themselves as pilots to guide this fair craft by this pool of Siloam on dark nights.

SOUTH BRITAIN.
A WORD FROM MR SAGE.


 Editor THE BEE, Dear Sir My at- tention has been Ct He'd to an item in last weeks BEE relative to the Creamery. Will you permit me to say that 1t is not true that South Britain creamery is to close and its machinery to be plsced in . better dairy region. At least do not contemplate this at or ce, and probably 1t will never be if the dairymen of thie section render tbeir patronage. While it is true that the extreme dry weather of the past two seas ons has greatly reduced our output, the demand for ''Sage Butter" has increased. and prices to pa trous have been raised orrespoDdiDgly. The creamery never had 6 better out look than at present, except on supply of milk. This will be materially increased immediately bave return to seasons of average rainfan. Of course, oppe- sition and the display of . ls ck of approve may be made to drive out any enterprise established or contemplated in . town. This particularly Is true in relation to the creamery business, which seems to be especially sensitive to cepsure. But surely 1t may not be asserted that the manager of the local creamery has not done everything in his power to make it 2 success and beneht to the toWr [HOllister Sage.

BETHEL.
BETHEL's WATER SUPPLY.

BETHEL'S WATER SUPPLY.
 Mountain lake Is small body of water between tho hills. It's natural basin Is nearly round in shape and very deep and is fed by numerous springs of water clear and cold. At the outlet between two rocky knolls is where the new dam is being constructed. This dam when completed is expected to raise the water in the lake about 12 feet higher than the natural pond and will add several acres in area to the body of water making 8 depth of water in the basin some where near 80 feet. A 10 inch pipe was laid several years ago which takes 10 feet of water from the natural pond to increase the water supply stored in reservoir be. low for the borough of Bethel. During the past two weeks the natural lake has been drawn down to the 1O-inch pipe, leaving smslt body of water near the center and very deep. At the outer edge toward the outlet of the pond there an immense quantity of muck which in places a long pole may be forced down some 20 feet or more to solid ground. Before the water in the lake was first drawn of this large accumulation of bog fl oated and was covered with brush and small trees, which were cut and burned when the water pipe was laid. This bog has sunk and will probably lay under water in the future, leaving 8 beautiful little lake of clear cool water. It is said that a century or more ago the town of Danburv employed men to stock this pond and others within the vicinity of the town with pike and other edible fish. It proved to be good investment and a public benefit and fforded its inhabitants great deal of pleasure. Gallo Morgan, 6 we'll known citizen of the town and who then lived in Wolf Pits school dis trict, used to say that he and others went to New York state and caught the pike to stock the ponds around Danbury. "Uncle Cale," as he was called, was . sportsman in this day and was . noted trapper of wild pigeons as we'll as being a good fisherman. No doubt that the Mountain lake will make great increase in the fish. May the public still enjoy their sport as of old.
