The Biggest Pond in Central
Pennsylvania Is Named
Noonan's Lake.

The Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts
burgh Railroad Company has com
pleted the big dam on Jackson Run,
near ClOe, some three miles east Of
Punxsutawney, aud the big force OF
men and teams that have made the
site beehive Of activity the past three
months, have about all been transferred
to other points along the line,
The big enclosure, which has been
dubbed, unofilcially, Noonan's Lake,
when filled with aqua pura, will be
the largest artificial pond In Central
Pennsylvania, and other dams In this
section cannot approach it In size.
The official figures OF its dimensions
are not available, but roughly esti-
mated, the pond is about 800 feet wide,
5000 feet long and extreme depth, 30
feet.
Local statisticans, who have been
figuring on the capacity say that II
will, when full, hold about 200, 1000 900
gallons, or approximately, 6,OOO 600
barrels OF water.
