CEOlOCIST LOCATES
ARTESIAN SUPPLY
Artesian Well Secured in Black
Hills Within 20 Feet Of ,
Estimated Depth.

Washington, July 3.-The United
States geological survey in a statement
issued today tells of the finding of arr
tesian water in the Black Hills coun-
try.
For many months a big well drilling
machine has been boring into the dry
ground of the Black Hills region of
South Dakota alongside the rack. of
the Burlington railroad at Edge
mont. Down Went the drill-5O0, 1000,
1000, $500 feet-until the native onlook-
ers wondered whether the railroad COM
pany had fixed no limit to the bore and
was simply going it blind indefinite
ly. The company's intention was very
definite indeed. It's officials had been
informed by a geologist of the United
States geological survey that a good
supply of water could be found in a
certain stratum of rock that lay at a
depth of about 5000 feet. h geologist
had made a study of the surface out-
crops of the rocks of the region, and
had based his prediction on that study.
And, having faith in the prophecy, the
company determined to drill to tina
depth. 1t was not necessary, however.
to bore quite to the depth of 1000 feet.
for when the drill had gone down 1880
feet water gushed out at the rate Of
$50 gallons a minute and the faith re-
posed liz the judgment of the ~geologist
a need which is SO urgent that if any
thing should happen to destroy this
well, the railroad company would not
hesitate to bore its counterpart.
That appeal should be made to the
science Of geology to state positively
the occurrence, location and character
Of various deep lying formations and
from a study of only the surface forma-
tons to designate a water bearing
stratum at a depth SO great as this
well was driven seems incredible to
the lay mird: but such determinations
are common Extensive areas have
thus been mapped underground by the
geological survey, and the maps have
been accompanied by descriptions Of
the character "a age of the different
rock and earth strata so definite that
1t would seem as IL he regions so sur
veyed must LAY been sampled with a
core drill at frequent intervals. The
great Dakota artesian basin, which ex-
tends owe a. enormous area. has been
accurately mapped, as have also many
other smaller but hardly less important
basins.

MURAT HALSTEAD
PASSES AWAY
Noted Editor Was Prominent
Figure in Current Literature
for Years.

Cincinnati, July 6.-Murat IIalstead,
one of the leaders in American jour
nalism for over half a century. wide
ly known as a vigorous editorial and
magazine writer, died at his home in
this city yesterday afternoon in his 18th
year. At his bedside were his wife,
his son, Robert. and one daughter, Mrs.
Arthur Stem.
MIR. Halstead had been failing in.
health for three months. Mr.. and Mrs.
Halstead celebrated their golden we'd
ding anniversary a little more than a
ear ago.
Mr.. Halstead was one of the great
editors of the last half of the nine
teenth century, and one of the strong
est tributes to his incisiveness as a
writer was in 1889, when his nomina-
ton by President Harrison to be AIneri-
can minister to Germany was rejected
by the United States Senate because
of articles he had published charging
to some members Of that
body. He was a native OF Butler coun-
ty, Ohio. and after a short service on
a literary weekly he in 1853 became con-
nected with the Cincinnati Commercial,
in which he secured a small interest
q year later, becoming chief owner in
1860. Nearly 70 years later his paper
was consolidated with the Gazette, and
ne was editor in chief of the combined
newspaper until years afterward when
another consolidation was effected, new
owners securing control.
For a time he was editor of the
Brooklyn Standardization, and for the
last 10 years he has figured largely as
a magazine and special newspaper
writer, besides issuing a number Of
books on current matters Of historical
interest.
During the war Mr.. Halstead person.
ally reported many battles, being rated
as q war correspondent of tie first
class. n later in the Franco-Prussian
war and in the Spanish-American war
he added to his reputation in that line.
For so years he attended and reported
All republican nominating conventions
and in 1860 he was the only newspaper
man who reported all the varied politi-
cal conventions Of thai wear.

STORK ALIGHTED
IN CENTRAL PARK

New York, July 4.-Soaring high above
Central park the stork surveyed the
crowds that thronged sidewalks and
meadow lands. obviously, he was in
search of some one. He craned his neck,
cast his eye wisely toward the earth and
swung over in the direction of Seventy
sixth street near the west walk.
Located there Is a natural boudoir, with
screens of ~shrubbery and a velvet carpet
of green. Thred9 women with feminine
alertness saw the stork descending slowly
toward the spot. Two of them, all "a
f1utter with excitement, ran to find a po-
liceman, while the third was left on guard,
with instructions to admit none to the
boudoir. AS luck would have it, the
couriers found Immediately a policeman
whose happy and p%aternal bearing denot-
ed he had a wife and children and would
appreciate the situation.
The couriers whispered to him. and he
took it on the run for the arsenal, leap
ing over the benches in his haste to reach
a telephone. He called up the Presbyte-
rian and j. Hood Wright hospitals and
started a race of ambulance surgeons for
the park.
Meantime, the stork had alighted in tho
boudoir with It's primeval surroundings
and placed by the side of Emma Schultz,
of Eighth avenue and One Hundred and
Twenty-seventh street, a fine boy baby.
Scores of persons within a short dis
lance of the boudoir, but who did not
know of the visit of the stork, were nom
plussed when DIR. McEleety, of J. Hood
Wright hospital, appeared with the po-
liceman who had telephoned the sum-
mons and sought the young mother and
her child. They were carried to the wait
ing ambulance.
"A twelve pound boy" Or. McEleety
announced to a crowd of women who
begged for a glance at the infant. but
were denied.
