OLD RESERVOIR
UNCOVERED IN
WRECKING HOUSE
Lasting VCstige of New York's First
Water Supply Monopoly
Found

New York, July 25-IIouso
wreckers tearing down an old build
ing in lower New York have uncov-
cred u little spot of the old city
hidden for more than hundred
years, which brings back intimately
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron
Burr and their fued AS soon as
the windows and walls of the front
of the building were removed a cast
iron tank AZ feet in diameter and
Is feet deep was revealed. Tho
building was erected around this
tank which rests upon an elaborate
foundation and extends two stories
below the ground.
Various stories are heard CON
corning the origin, chiefly to the
effect That this was an old fort. As
a matter of fact, however, it was
nothing Of the sort, but is the last
ing ycstige of New York's first
water supply monopoly. It is the
old water reservoir of the Manhat-
tan Company which had the monop-
oily of selling water to New York a
hundred years ago. At that time
there were two banks in the city of
New York, the dominating inau-
encc in which was Alexander Ham
ilton. Burr wished to start a bank
but was not allowed to do so. As a
result he organized a water COM
pany and so skillfully did ne draw
the charter that it enabled him to
operate as a banking business as
we'll In this way he organized the
bank which has been in prosperous
condition ever since.
The tank was put in for the nur.
pose of storing water, but New
York citizens did not care for q
water company in those days wher
wells were common and good enough
for anyone. Business of supplying
water was carried on until 1912
when the Croton Water System wal
established by the municipality
The bank, of course, has long out
lived the water company.

THINKS VERY WE'LL
OF COMO PROPERTY

George Smith, of Emmett BOyle's
office, returned this morning from
Como, where he had been called on
mining business. Mr.. Smith stated
that the Como mill of the Nevada
Deep Mines company, under the SUI
pervision of Charles Morris, was
showing remarkable results from the
lower grade of ore that was being
treated.
The company has recently mined
some high-grade ore from the new
workings and development work is
being continued to tap the rich ore
at depth. In the meantime the large
tonnage of mill ore that is exposed
from the development of the former
owners is being extracted and is
keeping the mill pounding out the
values. From the way the mine is
being handled, under the manage
ment of Harry Taylor, it bids fair to
soon enter the dividend paying class.
Appeal.

WEATHER REPORT FOR
THE MONTH OF JUNE
PRODUCTS IN CARSON
VALLEY

The Chronological report for June
for the state of Nevada, issued from
the Reno branch of the U. S. weather
bureau, contains some interesting
data upon weather conditions and
crops. The general summary of the
report follows:
The weather was cool the greater
portion of June, with a decidedly cool
spell the first two weeks. The last
three days were very warm. Frost
occurred front the 4th to the Sth
north of the 39th parallel. The
greatest damage occurred in the Car
son Valley, where corn, potatoes and
garden truck were badly frosted. The
ground was well covered with snow
in northern and eastern portions on
the 5th. The SNOW protected vegeta-
ton from the cold and was not as
injurious to the hardy crops raised
by dry farmers as expected. Showers
were general the first week of the
month, on the 10th and goth, and
on the oath and 25th. The amount
of precipitation for the state was con-
siderably above normal. In all ex-
cept the western and southern pOr-
tons it was decidedly above. Sew
eral stations report from two to
three inches precipitation. A "a
hour rainfall of 1.56 inches was re-
ported at Winnemucca on the 10Th
and goth, which was the greatest "a
hour precipitation on record at thai
station. Stream flow keeps up well
in all basins. The snow has disap-
peared up to 5000 feet in south
western portions, to 1900 feet in
northeastern portions. The range
burned out some in the central por-
ton of the state the last two weeks;
but crops and ranges elsewhere are
in excellent condition, due to stream
flow and good showers. The first
crop of alfalfa is nearly all cut. In
the southern portion the second CROP
is about ready to cut and melon ship
mentS have haoun

FRANK MANSON VISITS
CAMP OF ROCHESTER,

Rochester continues to add to her
production and each day witnesses
ore shipments from that camp" de-
clared Frank P. Manson, of the West
ern Ore Purchasing company, who
came in yesterday from the eastern
section of the state.
'"The Codd lease at Rochester is
steadily forging to the front" con-
tinued Mr.. Manson. 'and the ship
ments average about thirty-five tons
daily. The recent improvement in
the underground workings has added
to the tonnage in sight and is looking
better with each shifts work.
From a mining standpoint the en-
tire eastern part of the state is un-
usually active this year and with the
large number Of prospectors in the
field, important discoveries should be
announced before the summer is
over"
MI. Manson plans to leave in the
next day or two for the new camp of
Haystack and will examine the show
ings of that district.-Reno Journal.
