REASON WHY
SOME CITY WATER MAINS
TOO SMALL FOR SUPPLY
Cause of Low Water Pressure
Determined and Remedy at
Hand-New Water
Analysed

People, especially in the north
part of the city, have been wonder,
ing why tile pressure from the new
city water system Is SO poor, when
they had reason to expect that there
would be more water than while
the old pumping plant was in opera
tion. The explanation is simple.
There is a stretch of eight inch
main leading from the reservoir on
the hill and this main is not large
enough to carry the needed amount
of water. The water comes in a
twelve inch main for some distance
down the hill, is then reduced to a
ten inch main and finally to an
eight inch main. Still farther north
this main again spreads into "a ten
inch main and thus continues to the

GREAT OIL BOOM

Greeley is about to become lag-

people, leases have been taken on
several tracts of land In the vicinity
Of the Oak street bridge and the field
is to be thoroughly explored.
c. NJ. Evans of Houston, Tex, an
oil expert, is here managing opera
tions and w. NJ. Evans Of this city
is associated with him. 1t was
really the latter who took COM
mercial recognition of the peculiar
freak OF the Poudre in stagnant
pool few feet south Of the west
end of the Oaks street bridge. The
land upon which the oil indications
show is owned by William Mccall,
manufacturer of cement blocks He
happened to mention to w. M.
Evans one day that he had oil on
his place, not considering the matter
serious at all. Mr.. Evans, however,
took the matter seriously after look
ing the thing over and sent for his
relative at Houston, Tex. For the
past week the two have been busy
securing leases on property In the
bottons and last Saturday the story
became known.
Sunday scores Of people visited
the little pool and watched the bub-
bles come up from the bottom and
spread crude oil over the surface of
the water. Whenever good sized
oil bubble would come to the top
there would also be strong smell of
natural gas.
1t is about six years since this Sec
tion had an oil boom. At that time
practically all loose land from
Boulder to Grover was led on for
oil. However the nearest we'll to
Greeley driven was at Fort Collins
and nothing but hard water was
struck. But this is different. This
time it is sure that there is a little
oil here.

land aud Rol1lnsville. Watkins has
broken left leg as result OF his
ride over the mountains. He was
driving double rig belonging to the
foreman Of one of the grading camps
for the Eastern Colorado Power com.
pany and claims to have lost his way
in the darkness, getting of the road
and crushing the injured limb be-
tween the brake beam of the wagon
and a stump.
Whether or not Watkins is guilty
the chase after. him has demonstrated
that Sheriff Florance can turn up
his man" If he really goes after him.
One man answering the description
of Watkins was trailed to the end of
the Motfat road last week only to
dtsappoint the sheriff by not being
the right man. Another man, also
with big scar across his face, led
the officer only as far as Marshall.
Finally the man wanted was located
in one of the grading camps in
Boulder canon, but when Mr. Flor
ance reached the placesth man had
left for Rollinsville. The marshal
OF Nederland was then requested
by telephone to guard the road be-
tween his town and Rollinsville and
to hold up everybody that passed
and see who they were. He had just
stopped Watkins a few minutes be-
fore the two sheriffs arrived at the
spot and Watkins was taken back to
Nederland.
The officers claim to have consider
able evidence against Watkins to
connect him with the murder of the
old man.

the water is being used on the fire.
There Is a strong ordinance against
using water on lawn during a fire.
The new water has been tested
since the system was put in and as
it comes from the filtration basins It
contains only forty-three parts of
hardness In one million as against
!, 800 parts hardness in a million in
the old water supply. That means
that the new water is almost per.
fectly soft, or, at least contains so
little hardness that only careful
chemical analysis will discover any
hardness. Even Denver's water sup
ply Is not as soft as the Greeley
water.
The water right now is being
taken direct from the river into the
filtration basins without first passing
through the sedmentation reser-
voir.

Removing Poles from Street.

The Colorado Bell Telephone COM
pany has large force of men at
work in Greeley removing all OF
their poles from the main streets
and putting them into the alleys.
The work is being done at heavy ex-
pense and Inconvenience and yet SO
far as the telephone service is con-
cerned few people, If any, have been
aware that the change was going on.
The improvement, on Main street,
for instance, will be remarkable and

SAN JUAN MINERS
 NARROW ESCAPE
Men Working in Gila Valley Copper Mine Narrowly Escape Death by Drowning When Embankment Is Washed Away and Shaft Flooded.

Tuesday afternoon a cloudburst oc cured on the Gila mountains in the ueighborhood of the san Juan mines The time of the downpour was short but great quantities of water fell. The dirt embankments protecting the mines of the Gila Valley Copper company were washed away and the water poured into the No. shaft, running down to the l35-foot level, then into the main shaft. Two men were at work in the bottom of the shaft and it was by the hardest kind of work on the part of the men on the surface that they were gotten out alive. At one time the water submerged the two men to a depth of five feet and it appeared to them that death was near. Large numbers of small boulders and pieces of crushed rock were washed down the shaft, making the situation of the men still more dangerous.
 After the miners were brought to the surface pumps were started to unwater the mine. No serious damage was done Co the shafts or the mine beyond the delay of sinking caused by the flooding of the mine.-Safford Journal.

Slept Well in Cemetery

For three nights, until a policeman disturbed his slumbers, William Ellis has lodged in a cedar coffin box, which had been placed near an open grave to receive corpse for burial. When he was brought before Magistrate Rau- who yesterday sent him to the house of correction for three months, Ellis gave his address as Glenwood cemetery. He said he had no other place to sleep and when he discovered the coffin box it proved so comfortable and dry during a heavy rain the first night that he did not desire anything better
 Policeman Barnes of the Twenty eigth district was passing Glenwood cemetery in his tour of duty early yes terday morning and heard the sound of heavy snoring. The sleeper was un- doubtedly in the cemetery. Making his way there he discovered the coffin box, turned partly on one side, the lid rest ing against it. Ellis was sound asleep within, and Barnes aroused him with a blow from his club on the thin soles of his shoes. Ellis was so sleepy that it was with difficulty he was walked to the police station.-Philadelph Record.

Pads Among Tobacco Smokers

 ''That is the third man who has asked for that kind of tobacco today, ' said the dealer. "It is strange that people from remote parts of the coun. try, as well as New Workers, make a fad of buying the same brand of to. bacco that Booth smoked. And it isn [ always the Booth mixture that they want. l have filed away the formulas for making the favorite tobaccos of many famous persons. Smokers the country over have heard of this eollec- ton of recipes and one feature of every mans trip to New York is to try a pipeful of some big man s favoritc to. baceo. In most cases the special mix ture is SO strong that the nerves of the average smoker cannot stand it. He has to give up after a few pipefuls and go back to popular mixture, but he has the satisfaction of having had the experience. ''-New York Sun.

MEXICAN LABORER
 STABBED IN HEART
Mystery Surrounds Killing of Shelter man in Douglas Tenderloin Dance Hall-Two Knifo Thrusts Penetrate of Victim-Murderer Is Desperate.

Francisco Paeheco, laborer at the shelter, was stabbed twice through the heart about 3 O clock this morning in a back room of a dance hall of bad reputation on Sixth street, says a dis patch from Douglas.
 The murderer is unknown as to name, but his reputation has been a feature of Sonoratown gossip for some days.
 The tale of the Mexicans who saw the murder is that the murderer walked out of the place calmly, wiping his knife, and disappeared in the direc, tion of the Mexican border Several deputy sheritfs have been sent out after him, but SO far in vain.
 The quarrel arose over some women who were present. The knife thrusts were made with sure aim, and both penetrated the heart.
 The man who made them is said to be the son of an aged man who lives with a band of twenty or thirty other bold spirits in the Huachuea mountains who thrive on crime. When he appeared in Douglas several days ago trouble was expected by those who knew him. The authorities have been furnished with his description.
