Farmers National bank of Granville, n.

SHORTAGE OF WATER
MAY HURT QUARRIES
Serious Situation Said to Be Facing
Operations on Barre Hill as Quarry
Hole Supplies Are Being
Drained to Bottom.

Quarry owners on Barre hill are facing
a water famine, and unless the stua-
tion is soon relieved by steady down
pour of rain, or n thaw, at least, opera
tions will have to be suspended. Condi-
tions in the quarrying district are un-
doubtedly grave, and the question OF
whether the quarries will shut down for
an indefinite period will be determined
by the elements and that very soon, the
quarrymen say. \ canvass of the more
important granite deposits on both sides
OF the hill yesterday found every quarry
owner and superintendent cognzant of
the gravity of the situation. The advent
of winter saw the quarries in bad way,
in so far as the water supply IS con-
cerned, and since the first snowfall the
slight precipitation has not materially
affected conditions.
Throughout the fall there was an un-
usual dearth of rain, and winter weather
thus far has not been favorable to flood
ing the water sources. Most Of the
quarries are dependent upon deep quarry
holes for their water supply. Powerful
pumps are employed to convey the wa
ter from the pits, and in very numerous
instances the pumps are now drawing
water from the very bottom of the pits.
Business conditions in the quarry belt,
while suffering from a temporary relapse
in November, are said to be bright at
the present time. The demand for stock
continues heavy, and the effect of a |
general shutdown on account OF water
might easily have paralyzing |
effect on cutting operations here in the
city.
To-day's higher temperature was vel
coined by the quarry companies, and it I
was thought that melting snow would I
help to swell the water sources if the
warm spell is not suddenly terminated.
The weather prognosticators apparently
IRE not prophesying for the benefit of
.he quarry companies, as colder weather
s predicted
Here in the city, water conditions re-
main normal. and granite manufacturers
lave plenty of running water When
lsked by Times man to-day as to the
situation at Orange and Bolster reser-
'oirs. Supt. II. Il. Reynolds made the
,aradoXical reply that the city has wa
er to burn. There IS no more water
low than at the same season last year,
Ie said, as the reservoirs are full to the
rim and can hold no more. Mr., Rey-
olds is not apprenhensiye OF shortage

acturers.

gave the name of Bert Heasted held
Cashier Earl Randall two other men and
n boy prisoners at the Bingham state

in his vault, as was the cashier in an
other Utah bank robbery recently.
Heasted locked the three men and the
boy in the vault. Randall used hfs
