MANY BABY FARMS
Helpless Mites Sold and Given Away
in Milwaukee Without Process
of Law.
Poor Department Makes a Discovery
Which Will Lead to Further
Investigations. !.
special to The Journal.

Milwaukee, Wis. Feb 11.--Superin
tendent Spindler of the poor department
has discovered that babies are sold IN
Milwaukee without process of law. He
has found that there arc about half
score of places in the city where babies
are taken and no questions asked on pay
ment of $40 or $40 by the one disposing
of them. Afterwards they are turned
over to any person who is willing to pay
a few dollars for them. If they cannot
be sold they are given away.
This state of things was unearthed by
an application Of Mrs. Helen Purdy, 3s2
Fourteenth street, for support for an in
FAINT. 1t was found that the infant in
question had been left with the woman,
who had been paid $40 by the mother. a
young woman living at Mineral Point,
Wis, to take it away, but being unable
to do so had applied for support for it.
Superintendent Spindler when he
Iowa county authorities and the child
sent there to be cared for. The in
vestigations which followed disclosed the
fact that there were many places where
babies were taken for a, small sum and
then disposed Of without any formalities
to other persons If they desired a baby.
If the keepers could get something for the
child, we'll and good; If not, then they
were got rid of in any way to save their
keeping. ....
This state of things has been carried
on for a long time. In few cases has
there been any attempt at a lawful adop-
ton. Usually the person wanting the
baby has come to the house and taken
the child away and that was the end
of 1t. The authorities will take up the
matter.

Strata Beneath the Great Artesian
Basin Believed to Contain
Light and Fuel
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal;
Huron, s. D., Feb. 11.--Interest in the
proposed prospecting, for gas and oil in the
northwestern part Of Beadle county is in
creasing. and Mr. George; the representa-
tive of an eastern well drilling company,
is maturing plans as rapidly as possible,
and gives evidence Of his sincerity in the
belief that both petroleum and gas exist
in paying quantities at a depth of from
300 to ., 600 feet. Leases of several hun
dred. acres Of land in the vicinity of the
proposed wells in Allen township have
been procured, and others will be made
in a short time. 1t is the intention of the
company to begin! work as early in the
spring. as the weather will permit. In
speaking Of the enterprise, Mr.. George
says:
can examination of the northwestern
Vein or outcrop Of. the substrata of the
artesian, basin plainly shows the source
of the water supply and proof Of it's con-
tinuation. The;Vein extends to the south
ern limit of the state; passing around the
east Of the Black Hills range, wehere it is
much broken by uplleavals of the range
of hills. -t:E'{
examining the, eastern vein of the
basin, we find it much lower, and COW
cred by a great mass of so-called Sioux
| Falls granite. which is a mass of strait
| fed rock deposited over the basin at the
side and covering a. large area. The edge
to 200 feet below the surface southwest Of
Sioux Falls.and flows away in a subter-
ranian river with a very strong current
to the south, possibly finding an outlet into
the Sioux river. Il
I'm prospecting for water in this basir
we find evidences of oil having at remote
periods occupied the strata from which
we get the artesian water flow, evidently
displaced by the inflow Of water which
would force the water out by gravita
/ ton through the same force at which thu
water entered, and causing the oil springs
and surface oil found in the western par
of the state in many places Now assum
/ ing this to be an established fact, it il
an. evident conclusion that the lowe
strata having no outcrop, must yet contain
the oil undisturbed, yet under such grea
pressure, that at certain points the ga!
has escaped upward into the present waite
basin, through the shales. With prope
means by which the water may be sau
off, we may expect the development O
great oil and gas fields.'' "
