Struck Wood at 1900 Feet.

One of the first deep wells drilled in the West was put down near Huxley, New, by the Central Pacific Railway in 1881, in a search for good water. The boring reached a depth of 2,750 feet, but the water obtained was of very unsatisfactory quality. At 1.70o feet the drill en- countered a bed of "petrifled clans" and the record states that 1900 feet well-preserved redwood timber" was found. (Overland Guidebook, U. Geo. logical Survey.)

Cramp and Baldwin in Good

Except for a moderate amount OF SELL

foreign account there was little to dis

Baldwin Locomotive and Lake Superior
displayed a firm tone, but Pennsylvania
and United States Steel showed signs OF
the liquidation above referred to. Never
theless, there seemed to be willing buy
ers for these shares at relatively slight
concessions. and II was said that Offer

vestment interests.
With regard to the recent buoyancy
in Baldwin shares, It is interesting to
note that the total number Of employees
on the payrolls OF the big locomotive
company this week Is 6s22. At the low
point last January the number was 5000.
At maximum capacity the works are able
to use 19500 men.
