CITY TAPS SEEMINGLY LARGE
SUPPLY At DEPTH OF
100 FEET.
WATER RISES TO WITHIN
TEN FEET OF TOP OF PIPE
Test Being Made This Afternoon to
Determine Quantity Of tho Supply
Tapped-If Test 10 Successful All
City Wells Will 30 Sunk to Greater
Depth.

What gives promise Of solution OF
the city's water supply developed
Thursday afternoon when drillers
sinking a deep test we'll in the city
water field struck what appears to be
an abundance Of water at depth Of
100 feet. The water was found in q
second stratum Of sand and gravel and
was under sufficient pressure that II
was forced to within ten feet of the
top Of the six-inch casing.
A large pump was moved to the well
this afternoon to test it's capacity. The
pumping test will continue long enough
to determine whether the supply tapped
by the we'll seems inexhaustible, as the
pump being used has an estimated
capacity Of 100000 gallons per twenty.
four hours. A. e. Ford, whose mer
have been sinking the we'll. is authority
for the statement that this test vel
will produce as much water as eigh,
of the shallow wells.
Water Seems Softer.
The water supply tapped was found
in a depth of thirteen feet of the Sec
ond stratum of sand and gravel. The
sinking Of the casing penetrated forty
six feet of sand and gravel below the
surface, then sixty one feet Of blue
clay, and below it the second stratum
of sand and gravel The clay stratum
is regarded as impenetrable by water
so that no surface water or water in
the shallow stratum of sand and gravel
nearest the surface can penetrate it.
Councilman John I. Bell is naturally
very hopeful that the pumping test
will prove the water inexhaustible
and Of good quality. If so all the city
wells will be sunk to this depth, and
a comparatively few of them will sup
ply the city's consumption. Without
an analysis having yet been made,
Councilman Bell believes the water
softer than the city is now using and
much freer Of iron solution and sedi-
ment.

Munition Plants All Busy;
 Wages Now at Highest Mark;
 Production ShoWs Big Gain

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Reports coming in from munitions factories in all sections of the United States in dicate that this country is soon to be- come, if it not already is, the muni- tions center of the world. Every plant is working to capacity and the produc- tion has increased enormously over that of last year.
 At the Bethlehem Steel works, un- der the direction of Charles Schwab, the Krupps themselves are being out cone, Here armor plate for Uncle Sam's dreadnaughts, shrapnel shell and other munitions for the fighting forces on land and sea are being turn ed out in almost incredible quantities.
 The Remington Arms & Ammuni- tion company at Bridgeport, Conn, has practically doubled its capacity during the last year. Between elevent and twelve thousand are en- ployed now as compared with half that number a year ago. There has been an increase in wages of from 20 to 30 per cent during the last year.
 The Bridgeport Projectile com pany works three eight-hour shifts and is turning out 50 per cent more munitions than was the case a year ago. Wages have increased here 25 per cent.
 The three munitions plans of the Westinghouse company at Springfield, Mass, and the nearby town of Chico pee employ 10000 men and work day and night.
 The Springfield armory, which until recently had been operated on peace basis, will soon have more than 3,O00 workmen. Only skilled operatives are accepted and, while the government wage scale is somewhat less than the private munitions concerns are paying, there are offsetting considerations, among which may be mentioned an an nual vacation of nearly month with full pay and the probability Of steady employment for years.
 One hundred million dollars worth of rails, plates, structural steel and iron products of all kinds, glass and numerous other manufactured prod ucts are being turned out monthly in Pittsburgh. Experts estimate that S5 per cent of this production is for for eign consumption and the remainder is equally partitioned between raw ma terial and finished products for ship ment abroad and home consumption.
 Although no detailed figures are at | hand, it is stated that the monthly pay roll of the Pittsburgh district amounts to approximately $100,O00,000 and that more than 100000 persons are employed. The United States Steel Corporation employs the greater
Bisbee daily review., 1917-06-24

majority of these in its immense plants at Braddock, Homestead, Me keesport and the city proper. Many | thousands are also employed by the Jones and Laughlin company, the Phil lips Sheet & Tinplate company, the Cruicble Steel company, the Pitts burgh Steel company and various glass plants and other industrial con, cerns.
 10000 Busy At New Haven.
 The munitions factories of New Ha- ven, Conn.,, have a working strength of more than 10000 The largest fac itry, the Winchester Repeating Arms company, employs 17,0O0 now, after the slight reduction made in the forces by the elimination of Germans. Rough estimates place the output of Winches- ter at 1,500 rifles day. The Marling Arms company has working capacity of 2,500 and the Avis company of about 500.
 Within six months the output of mu- nitions plants in the big munitions center of Hartford, Conn.,, will be about double that of a year ago. Wag- es have increased ten per cent.
 As an example of the conditions in and around Hartford, data from one of the largest munitions establish ments in the world may be cited, similar statistics applying to most of the other factories in Connecticut the arsenal of the nation" In this factory, 4,450 men are employed now, as compared with 5000 a year ago, and by fall this number will be about $500. Other factories here have shown m increase almost as great.
 Reports from Wilmington, Del, i'm dicate that activities in that great munitions section will this summer be greatly increased. One year ago, the plants of the Du Fonts at Wilmington were turning out 30,O00,000 pounds of smokeless powder a month. This was increased to 33,O0O,000 pounds a month, and beginning with May the capacity was extended to provide for an additional 93,000 pounds daily With its unlimited facilities the com pany on very short notice could make further increases in it's output with no great effort.

 Well, l couldn't find. an answer to make 70 him at that moment, and aft erward I was certain that, though he objected to war. he was not afraid of death.

Twas one night and we of old men, old women and young children were left behind by the Huns. And these poor people had more than enough to tell us about what the Roche had done there. Twas fit to drive us half mad with anger. This C.

 Whats come over you?" I asked him.
 'Nothin',' he says; only these peo- pie have been tellin' me what they've suffered and I've been lookin' at their homes and their orchards, all that is left of them
 So you've come round to my way of thinkin,?" says, and he answers: I have, matey.'

.How q Conscientious Objector

 He looked at the limp figure which lay on the stretcheI. The lace Of the wounded man was white ana drawn, the eyes were closed, the hands lay slack and hfeless across the blood staIned tunic.

 They brought the wounded soldier in and placed him on the floor The doctor bent down and with his scissors cut away all that remained of the tunic. A first field dressing had al ready been applied to the chest. It was there that the man was wounded. He groaned slightly as the doctor touched him.
 'The first sound he's made since he copped it." said the red-haired man. ''The poor devil got his packet in the trench and he flopped without a word. He's a good man, one of the best"
 "A mate of yours?" asked the doc tor.
