Y G L / :K Y D L / N O . WARSAW, 'N. Y., DECEMBER 6, 1888. 81.50 IN -ADYANCEI HowSmM .was Ikis©oves.*e«l. S e i k A m e s w i i k - s t h e f o l l o w i n g f o r : t h e L e R o y Tim es: When the pioneers . of Western New York were boiling the brackish Waters of the fe.W salt- licks here and thero found:, they lit tie suspected that a hundred feet of solid rock salt, was beneath their; feet. For ail the light which science or State geologists could thsow iipoa the subject we should be in- profound ign orance of its existence to the present hour. Some how about tlie time a tiling is wanted, some , one; accidentally or ' incidentally discovers it. \ Salt, is no exception; , How discovered? It -was. in this wise. Years ago one of the staid, . worthy farmers of Middlebury, named Evarts dreamed a dream. Hi® dream was that under his farm was a valuable deposit. Night af ter night this dream was repeat ed. Finally he inade an effort to dis- half a mile from the first one, not for the purpose of hoisting salt, but to com ply with the law requiring it as a means of ventilation and as a means of escape for the miners iu case of an accident. When anotlier*shall: be.suak in Pavilion at the Lackawanna Junction with a ca pacity equal to the Retsof works, twelve thousand barrels per day,, or the enor mous amount oS/four and. a half million barrels per annum, shall be brought to the surface and sent into tne markets of the count.y, salt will not be. an expen sive; necessity. That salt can be mined iniich more cheaply than it can be pro duced by. artificial, evaporation is now demonstrated;; only one question re mains to settle the future method of salt production: is the mined salt as pure as that crystalized in the grainer? Hope some other son will remember the dream of his father and discover some other hidden treasure. the depth of two hundred f e e t . , Nothing but shale rock rewarded his labor. Half a century passed away be fore, it was discovered. A son of the old man had made a fortune in oil. Here* •ffiembered the efforts of his father, be- remembered the dream ;alko,.;;-Gf course he did not: belie vb in dreams, but never theless, for: diversion merely he deter mined to pqt down a; well bh the old homestead. Result, /the) discovery of salt. This was the beginning of the salt industry in what is known as the Wyoming salt fteld. }•/It may not be profitable, to raise the qhestiou how this vast deposit of suit Caine here. After all our theorizing We have proved very little. •// -):;/ Warsaw was first after Middlebury to ; put dbwh . a test well and tlie success of the first venture induced others in War- saw;, Rock Glen, Castile,, Mt, Morris, Piffardy^ .York,, LeRoy an other places, to pu3h the salt enterprise; All. tliis extensive business, revolu tionizing a national industry;, . is tlie re sult of a vision of the night- Who shall say there is nothing iii; dreams? ■ . : / All the,process of qbtaihing'the brine^ /eyapbratiag. the salt, - arid putting: tl~ produet for market into bags and sacks marked “ Liverpool,” “Ashton Dairy” and other popular brands are now well understood. : It is dawning upbn many, who must have foreign salt, that they; have been paying an extra price for ^pure ‘ Liver pool,” made at Pqriri Creek if not/at LeRoy. / It may db up hurt to know that branded sack? /are sent into the ? Wyoming Yalley salt field by the car load, filled with as good salt as the world affords, shipped to New York and sent back and sold to those who think no good thing can be produced at home, Tlie present capacity o f all the plants in the Wyoming field is about 6,000 bar rels per day. -'-/ \\'/' In the toWn of York, near Fiffard; is the Retsof mining company which has put down a shaft to the depth of 1,000 : feet. Here salt is mined on a large; scale. .Just step iu with me and take a look at things. . Never huew; anything, about a salt shaft? Well, it. is no marvel that yoti don’t for this is the .only one in the United States. Over the shaft that is sixtebn:by;tweBty/twa feet, the eoMpany has erected a huge, strue Jhre of great ' height and put in boilers and engines cap able of developing nine hundred horse power. Take a standing seat in a . car and go down to the rock salt. You will observe that the vein now being worked is twelve feet thick, rock oyer head and rock of twelve feet in thick ness beneath your feet, below which is a solid salt rock thirty feet in thickness. The rolls show eighty Italians engaged In mining* each of whom is furnished with a candle. Mining is done by blast ing with powder: no dynamite is used, Twelve m u les draw the salt to the shaft on railroads constructed and extended as the salt is taken out. P illars thirty feet square are left to support th e roof of the m ine, only about o n e-half of the salt being rem oved. Go ftp to the top of the building and see the cars come up and dump them selves bn to a huge spreen, taking out all lum p s the size of a two quart m easure or larger. The balance goes on to rollers and is crushed and screened. The fine, called No. 1, poes to the poda Ash Works at Syracuse. No, 2 is about the size of w h eat, w h ile No.. 3 is coarser up to the size of beans or iarger. A ll lum p s go t > supply a want on tfie ranches and sheep ranges as w ell as city stables. Nos. 2 and 3 are popular with beef and pork packers; Chicago alone takes ten cars per day onfi yearly con tract. Eight hundred tons fe now the daily output, au amount but little less than the combined product of all the wells iu the whole W yom ing salt field. Another shaft is being sunk about SnicldL^ trtD a stlle, On Sunday last at noon it was learned that Luther E. Pelton of Castile had hanged himself. He had been despond ent on account of illness, and when his wife and two children started for the Baptist chui-ch he bade ,- them good-bye, but nbthing Was thought of it. ^ Mr. Pelton lost his leg three years ago, used crutches and w i? very active,but latterly infirniifies have crowded upon ; him aud .he^bas been unable to ihove al^ut / Returning at li/ion the family could not find him about the house, and the son went to the barn |n search of him. Ih the loft of the bcrn ha found; his father\hanging to a rafter. He gave the alarm a,nd the body was quickly cut down, but life was gone. . Mr. Peltpn was aged about 55 and had thb respect of all who knew hi|n. An incident in his life justified this higfi re* gard.; While iii business at Silver Springs, where he was post master for seyeral years ne made an assignment, ; and years afterward paid every creditor his claim in full. He leaves a wife* two daughters and one son. . . ’ Mr; Pefton was a very : popular: man, and son of one of th e s t u r d y . pioneers of AVybming county who lived a long and useful life in Castile. He was / a member of the Baptist church, a good citizen, and a thoroughly Christian gen tleman in all the relations of life. S tock P o ison c cl—R e w a r d Ottered / Mr. J. W. Chandler, a well known farmer on East Hilly has had two 2-year- old colts poisoned lately. One died on the night of the 19 fcli, and the other the 22nd. About a week before a yearling steer was poisoned, and other stock that died previously, it is believed now, were poisoned. Paris green mixed with salt, was found in five; different places in his pasture, and there is no doubt but that some persome placed it there with the deliberate and. wilful attempt to poison his stock.. This is one of the meanest of all mean things, and nothing should be left undone by every person in that neighborhood to find out who the guilty wretch is. Mr. Ch an dler offers $>100 re ward, a s will be seen by his notice. Of ficer E. i>. Parker has been here inves tigating the case, and an examination of m a n y persons was held before Justice Norton, Wednesday. Barker will go to tlie botton of; this case and bring the guilty party to punishment if there is any such thing. Mr. Chandler could not do less than to investigate the matter and we hope it will result in discovering who the guilty person or persons are.—- Nunda JSfeivs. ' '■■ ■ Teiaiperaiice H a ll Sunday. The: usual Sabbath afternoon meeting at Temperance hall was held at three o’clock, and was a season of encourage ment and profit to all. Encouraging because of the goodly number present, including several who have reformed or desire to reform from tbe drink habit; and profitable because of the presence of the: Spirit; the earnestness and will ingness of ali to take part, and a unani mous desire for a work of revival. Earn, est prayers were /offered; the excellent choir furnished appropriate music and numerous testimonies were given. The leader said there were many sides to this temperance question and among the most important was the Christian side with which the people were dealing in these meetings, It would take the them a long time to exhaust what Bible said on it, and they wanted to stick to it . ; v :: a --' One friend gave an account of an in teresting and gifted ypung man who fell through the glass offered him by a young; jady at iier birthday party. He sank go jow that he contemplated suicide. ; He whs arrested by a dream in which he saw his jmpther in heaven looking, at- a long roll containing her prayers : for him, and as; she looked she still prayed, L o st as he was it tOnched his heart: he resolved to reform : in this h8 was helped by the: Konad mission, and is how a successful minister. ’’ /'YU// Another said he praised Hod for Tem perance Hall.. The prayers and the iu- fliience there had saved him, and he wanted to do: all he could to banish the evil of ihtemperance. A young man who recently left the jail, sr. id he had signed the pledge bq-7 fore leavihg, but soon fie was tempted by the whiskey bottle stuck under his hose and he fell. A . week ago lie was brought to ilip hall. , . The friends there had rallied around hxmr and he had been enabled by the help of God .fog-p through the week sober, and lie and liis family were cphsequenily happy. ^ /' / / Another told of a man in his employ to whom his heart lijid : gone put and he had tried .to help him as he struggled again and again to throw off the terxible habit. He would abstain for a few davs' until one of those devour era of the r^m; bottle who lurk at the corner of 'owe streets aud not always in the dark, tempted fiip agkin to destruction. HA plead for those cursed by tile drink ap petite, and begged Christian men and women to encourage and strengthen ; them by their help and sympathy. I A lady present said her heart had been greatly touched by the siaB story which the wife of a drunkard had told her only the night before: how she had been: obliged to fly from her home on aceouht of her husband’s treatment when intpxi- cated, That she had gone to all the places in Warsaw where whiskey is sold and fprbidden tliein to sell .to him; it did no good. Then she had gone the rounds with ari officer, and neither did that avail any thing. 1 Another lady said she was much i n t e r ested in the family of whom the last gen- tlemaii had &p°ken. He came to her house ope night a week ago, so drunk he could not get to bis room, and begged to remain all night. She could not turn him away. She plead that the .law be enforced, and these awful temptations banished from our midst. A S ingu lar P h e n o m e n o n . On the south side of the t Allegany river, near the head waters of Greek’s . Run, in the town of South V a lley, on lands of H om er B enedict, is f requently seen ten or more square rods of land to all appearances ou fird, but when exam ined it is apparently light of a phos- phoiescent character, shining without heat. This singular appearance seems to be periodical. Mr. Benedict has seen it very frequently on his own laud and about one mile to the south, on land of G. W. Appleby. The Indians before the advent of the white man frequently saw it and looked upon it with super stitions fear. C o u r tK o te i.

The^Erip road is reported as having its passenger cars fitted as spieediiy as possible With steam heatihg apparatus, dispensing With the corner stoves Which have proved so destructive in case of trains wrecked frpm any cause. There is no reason to suppose that the delay of m any roads to comply w ith State laws on this m atter has resulted from any indifference to the safety of passen gers, but to the desire of seeing the m any m ethods o f steam heating tested, so as to secure the best. T h en, too, where connecting roads have different systems of steam heating, the difficulty of coupling the cars employing any par- tieniar method with those using another has not as yet been surmounted. The great pressure upon the various works which supply the attachments for this method pf beating has also stood in the way of speedy change, It w ill increase the confidence of the public in the E rie to know that it is m aking this change in the interest of the public as rapidly as possible.

W a r saw ’s ■ F low in g Wells.:.- \f- The Warsaw correspondent of the Buffalo Courier says: The great flow ing wells which now perforate the ground about Warsaw and throw off hourly vast amounts of water, have caused consider able speculation here as to the souice of their foundation head. A well-known geologist who has been looking into tbe subject finds that the water bearing stratum of gravel dips just the requisite amount of feet per mile from the gravel bed of Silver Lake to the 175 feet of depth at which this gravel is found here, to lead him to state that that sheet of water is the source from which this un limited supply flows. A Perry paper states that the lake, . despite the large amount of water which has Mien this fall is very low. Again the purchase of the land under Silver Lake by two shrewd speculators has been ridiculed by many, but it is now understood that they were led to the purchase by the re* suits secured from the first ftowihg Well here, ‘ ‘the pointer’’ on which was:given them by this same professor of geology. It looks now as if Warsaw Was about to secure Silver Lake without the expense of piping the water. : '; n -; A .
