STRIKE IN UNION |. OCCASION|NG
 EXCITEMENT
IN DRIVING CROSSCUT TO TAP GLORY HOLE SIX-FOOT BODY OF RICH ORE IS HIT.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

John s. Jones, owner of the Union mines of Chaparral, in the city for the past two weeks convalescing from illness, was advised by telephone on Sunday by Chad Casperson, his en- gineer. that the crosscut being driven to intersect the glory hole condition had entered six-foot body of free milling and concentrating ore, and the strike was occasioni1g consider able excitement.
 This development has reached 10 feet. from which the mill is being supplied and is making a steady run, with values given to substantiate the remarkable mineral condition de- termined.
 Mir. Jones in speaking of develop me1t at this point stated yesterday the glory hole lies to the west of the main drift about 136 feet, and when tapped by the crosscut will give vertical depth of 175 feet. He is sur prised. however, that the rich shoot should have been encountered at such Q short distance as Casperson states, and is inclined to believe a parallel vein has been opened. The driving of the crosscut to the glory hole point will go ahead vigorously, and from surface showings, the above we'll known operator is inclined to the belief that some surprising re- suits may be expected when that point IS reached.

Chicago worlds fair, and valued at $6OO.
 Canvases by Miss Ella Drake, who is painter of note and an exhibitor in a number of the Eastern galleries, were varied in character, and incluu- ed portrait of child, notably good, "Chrysanthemums," (done in oiD, and several water color landscapes; of the coast of Massachusetts; a scene in Florence; a California mission; Lake Elsinore, and others. showing rare talent and ability in her line of work.
 Several water colors painted by Mrs. Isabelle Forest, awarded blue ribbons at both State and county fairs in the past, with couple of small min iatures were shown. Having had such short space of time in which to pre- pare for this exhibit, from the time the pictures were sent and desired to be returned for exhibition purposes to the East, many worthy pictures which are owned here in the city were not obtained for this purpose, but enough were leaned and shown to convince the most skeptical that we have a i large number of citizens who arc more than interested in the subjects of paintings, and art in general, and are happy possessors of gems in that line, suggesting a hopeful outlook for more exhibitions in the future.
 1 The rendition of a number of vocal selections by Mrs H. H. Shires, Miss Juanita Morrison and Mir. c. O. Vyne sympathetically accompanied by Mir Lamson as pianist; also a reading by the always appreciated Mrs. South worth, interspersed with the servicC of tea, made of the occasion lovely enjoyable one, creating an altogether informal and friendly spirit in tho gathering.

Groom creek had a real live seen ario for the movies last Friday after noon but which unfortunately did not come within range of the camera, when Babes in the Woods" might have been tnrillingly and realistically
 repeated by being thrown on the can vas.
 The first act was when the two Shelby children, a boy of eight and his sister of nine years, played hockey from school and made a stampede on foot for the tall timber of the Has sayampa range six miles away to the south. Scene two was at night, and in the glare of brush fire they went into camp. Scene three was at day light the next morning, and a few hours later they were discovered by a rescue party divided into twenty men who were securing the country in pairs. These babes of the woods were very happy on being recaptured. and their only alarm was in knowing when and where they would get something to eat. The board of cen sorship was their parents, and they were very happy when the curtain dropped. although they did not give their approval to the capricious stunt of their dear little ones.

MACHINISTS OF BRASS CITY GET
 MUNITIONS JOBS
Leaving Waterbury For Eddystone Plant of Rem
 ington Arms Go.

Waterbury. April 14-waterbury is threatened with a dearth of ma chinists. The Remington Arms Go. Eddystone, Pa, branch, is reaching out it's long arm and picking off large numbers of the men in the local plants. Over a hundred machinists have gone already and it is estimated that before the end of the week over two hundred will be gone.
 The tnducement is short hours and increased pay. Every machinist talk ing a job with the Remington Co. is given fifty-five cents an hour at the start with prospects of an increase in wages in a short time. Such was the information given out at machinists- headquarters last night
 The statement was made that this particular branch of the. Remington Co, has in it's employ at present. 12- 900 men and that it will continue to take on men until the number of enn- ployes totals 24, 900. This was based on a letter received from the com pany officials a few days ago
 There are approximately 5000 rnaz chinists and toolInakers in the city and it is thought that as many of these as can arrange to leave will take jobs at the Remington plant as the company will take them on !
 AS the plant has not completed it's buildings yet, and as it is hiring men only as fast as they are completed there is likely to be a slow, but steady drain on the machinists of the city It is even predicted that practically every city in Connecticut will be tax ed to make up the complete list of employees of the Pennsylvania con- cern.
 What will happen to the employ CTS if all the machinists of the city leave ?''A one of the men was asked
 '4Fhey will have to come across with more money or they wont have any maehinists working for them, * was the reply.
 The Remington plant, 1t is stated, is working day and night. It has a. con tract with the Russian governm ent to furnish rifles, which it will take ten years to fill, The Russian gov eFnment it is understood, is replacing it's o1d-fashioned rifles with new ones and it will stock up it's armories with new army rifles.

GASOLINE WILL
 INCREASE IN PRICE

New York, April 14-The price of gasoIene will continue to rise, accord ing to oil men. Stocks are practically exhausted and the demand is far in ex- cess of the supply. Oil men say that, as long as these conditions continue will remain serious.
 A factor adding to the tension in this market is the fact that great quantities of kerosene and other re- finery products are piling up, and storage tanks throughout the country are well filled with the kerosene which has been refined from crude oil in the manufacture of gasolene.s
 The problem of refining sufficient gasolene to meet the demand is not the only one the refners have to face They must discover some way of dis posing of their heavy stocks of kero- sene, which in the ease of the inde- pendent refineries is an absolute ne cessity, Heretofore the big market for kerosene produced in the United States was in China and abroad This
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-04-14

market has been seriously held in check by the enormous rise in freight rates and it is almost impossible to send kerosene to the Orient at 8, profit
 Recent supply and demand statis- tics show that there are approx1- mate1y 8O,00O more barrels of crude oil consumed each day than are pro- duced. During the month of January a. daily average of approximately 700, 900 barrels Of crude oil was pro duced. The daily average of deliver ies during the same month was ap- proxirnately 78O, 1000 barrels.
 : Oil men say generally they would rather find a good market for kero- sene than see the price of gosolene go up This is due to the fact that most of the crudes produced in this country carry a good percentage of kerosene and a small percentage or gasolene. In high grade crudes 1t IS possible to obtain about 75 or 50 per cent. of kerosene a barrel. whereas the best percentage of gasolene ob- tainabIe from the same oil is between 10 and 12 a barrel.
