rKiii.w, At'Kir. 24, is
Ccntralia's Big Tunnul,
HOW A SUnTERRANKAN LAKE A MII.E
LONG WAS TAPPED.
The Centralia drainage tunnel,
which is the third largest in the coun
try and driven for the purpose of tap
ping the water from the Centralia
basin, has just been completed, and is
a success in every particular. It is
6000 feet long and was driven from
both ends. The south end begins at
the water level of IJig Mine Run
Creek, a branch of the Mahanoy, and
.'e porth end is some 700 feet below
,.Oi.nd in the Buck Mountain vein of
Hazeldell Colliery, the grade ascend
ing from the south end and descending
from the north end. The surveys to
establish the lines and grades of the
two ends were three miles in length,
and had to be carried through the
mine workings up the hoisting slopes
at 40 degrees inclination, and over a
rough mountain, and then extended
as the working faces approached each
other.
An extension of the tunnel is now
being made to the eastward to drain
the collieries on the lands of the Gi
rard estate. This extension will add
3800 feet, making the total length of
draining tunnel and branches 9S00
feet, making it the longest open tun
nel in the country, with the exception
of the Hoosac Tunnel in Massa
chusetts, and the Sutro Tunnel in
Ne ada. The mammoth vein, some
twenty-five feet in thickness, over
laying the Buck Mountain vein 250
feet, has been very extensively worked
for the past thirty years, but opera
tions were suspended in 1S78, owing
to the destruction by fire of the Pro
vost slope and breaker, at which time
the mine was closed, the pumps de
Xed, and the workings filled with
in order to again gain access to this
portion of the Centralia coal basin, it
was decided to draw the water off
through the drainage tunnel, and Wed
nesday witnessed the completion of
this tremendous undertaking. The
tunnel was driven up to within 80 feet
of the old workings, and the water was
tapped through a series of three-inch
diamond drill holes. These holes
pierced the old workings at a depth of
450 feet below the surface, and the
water with that head forced itself out
through the bore holes under tremend
ous pressure. The amount of water
, contained in the old workings might
be likened to a subterreanean lake
one mile long, 1 200 feet wide and 25
deep, except that its formation was
V-shaped, making the pressure at the
bottom of the apex, where the water
was tapped, something over 200 pounds
to tl.e square inch.

U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889.
Belief For Veteran Judges-
The bill now pending in the Senate,
authorizing the voluntary retirement,
on full pay, of any Pennsylvania Judge
who has served twenty-five years in
judicial office and attained the age of
seventy years, should receive the unan
imous indorsement of the Legislature
In order to become a beneficiary un
der such a law, a Judge must be thrice
elected by the people to the judicial
office and with such an indorsement
there could be no room for doubt as
to the individual and official worth of
the man. And when a Judge has giv
en a quarter of a century or more to
judicial duties, which practically pre
clude him from business operations
for profit, and has reached the patriar
chal age of thrrc score years and ten,
he should be honored with the right to
retire on full pay.
There are few men who are equal to
the duties of the judicial office when
over seventy years of age. There are
exceptions to the rule, of course, but
there is no reason why a Judge who
has faithfully served for twenty-five
yeaisand has passed the age of seven
ty should be compelled to remain in
active service on the bench to earn a
livelihood. As a rule the judicial du
ties which were easily discharged at
fifty or even sixty are onerous and oft
en severely exacting at seventy; aud
there should be the right of voluntary
retirement without facing poverty.
It is not likely that there ever would
be so many as half a dozen Pennsyl
vania Judges who could retire and re
ceive their salaries under law. but if
there were twice a dozen of Judges
who had commanded such public trust
as to be continued on the bench for a
quarter of a century or more, and
reached the age of seventy years, it
should be a grateful recognition of
such a line of worthy Judges to give
them the right to retire on full pay for
the already shadowed and necessarily
brief evening of their days. Times.

The Pennsylvania Railroad's Doable
Lines to Atlantio Oity-
a superb summer schedule.
The coming summer promises to be
a most notable one for sea-shore travel.
Engagements already made in ad
vance for hotel accommodations at
Atlantic City and inquiries received
indicate the widespread popularity of
this great resort.
Never before in the history of the
City-by-the-Sea have the railroad facil
ities been so perfect as they will be
over the Pennsylvania's Sea-Shore
Lines. Arrangements have been per
fected by which this popular route will
consolidate its two railroads (the West
Jersey and Camden and Atlantic) be
tween Philadelphia and Atlantic City,
so as to be operated on the plan of 9
double track. This mode of manage
ment will greatly facilitate the hand
ling ot the enormous passenger trafic,
and will present the safest and most
novel system of double lines in the
country.
The schedule of trains will be great
ly improved over that of previous
years, both in the number of trains,
their equipment and speed. A large
number of trains will run on a time
table of the best adjusted to the needs
of the public. They will be equipped
with comfortable and handsome new
passenger coaches and attractive parlor
cars drawn by the Pennsylvania Stan
dard hard-coal burning locomotives.
The majority of the trains will make
the run in each direction in eighty
minutes, thus reducing the time of
transit to the minimum consistent with
safety and good management.

POULTRY NOTES
No. 24.
Turpentine is a very good medicine
for poultry, for such diseases as bum
ble foot, corns, warts etc., bathe the feet
and legs with it occasionally.
Chicks a month old nd over will
cat fine cut clover, says the Poultry
A'eio.1. feed it dry in troughs, chicks
accessible to green food don't require
it. The idea is to induce exercise by
scratching which prevents leg weak
ness. Do not have your roosting poles to
high as it is liable to produce bumble
foot from jumping off on the floor, es
pecially in the heavier breeds.
Have you assorted out a few of
your best to breed ftom ? It is high
time it is done.
If you don't like to be bothered
with other peoples chickens and
turkeys, better see if yours are not
bothering some one else
Keep the chicks on the barn floor
the 1st week or two after hatching and
notice the result.
Chicks kept dry and warm and free
from lice are not apt to get gaps.

Furs Bye Whiskey.
One year ago we had 5000
gallons of Old Rye
Whiskey in Bond, which
was considered a large stock
to carry and sufficient for the
trade. The demand, however,
for our whiskey became such,
that we were compelled to In
crease the capacity of
our distillery, in order to give
the whiskey some age before
placing it on the market.
We are now making over a
barrel a day ; having a daily
capacity of over 50 gals,
and carrying a stock of 11,000
gals, in Bond. We hope to
give our patrons the benefit of
the age and will sell no whisk
ey under six months, and from
that up to three years.
No second hand barrels are
used at our Distillery ; all our
whiskey is bonded in new,
clean, charred, barrels,
and for purity and qual
ity we defy competition.
We have never distill
ed a bushel of corn, and
we do hereby guarantee ALL
our whiskey to be absolutely
Pure Rye arid doubled on
a copper lined still and to any
person wno will hnd
drugs or corn in
whiskey as it leaves our
tilllery or Salesroom,
any

will forfeit $500.00.
