This rolling mill will employ five
hundred men the tlrst year and will
increase its force within the neyt year
TO nearly twice that many.
Nothing is doing in the case of the
tin mill or the automobile works bat
these are expected to start shortly
These plants come here from Con-

the cold shoulder and exposed to SO

EARTHQUAKE CAUSED BY
IMPRISONED GAS.
6reene County Eruption Really Ser
ious Matter--A Scene Of Desolatien.

WAYNEsBURG, Pa, June 5.-The
explosion which occurred in Franklin
township, near here, aud caused much
CONSERVATION among the people re-
siding in that vicinity, who thought
that it was some sort OF volcanic
eruption, has been explained, Gas
operators say that 1t was caused by a
big pocket of gas breaking through
the earth. They claim that the gas
came from what is known TO the trade
as the ''gas sand,' usually found
], 100 feet deep, but not one of them
ever heard of its breaking through.
There are many gas wells in the yicin-
ity Of the explosion. Gas men say
that the gas found IN the gas sand is
never used, as the supply is always
uncertain and usually short lived.
The scene OF the eruption is one of
desolation. 1t occurred on the farm of
j. r. Sproat, in the bed of Ten Mile
creek, about 600 feet south OF gas
well. The whole bottom OF the creek
for nearly 100 feet has been heaved up
by some gigantic force and huge rocks
three feet thick and ten feet long are
standing on edge and dropped about
promiscuously. The ground surround
ing is seemed with gaping assures and
the total area disturbed is probably
