DEM GHEE don by the Perry Construction Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, for the Franklin & Clearfield Railroad Com- pany, which will soon have completed its new line from Franklin to Brookville.The high priced mile pierces the hills on both sides of the Clarion River, thus including two tunnels with a bridge between them. The most expensive piece of work is the boring on the north side of the Clarion River. This tunnel is 2,800 feet in length and the one on the opposite side of the river 1,700, the number of brick required to line the tops of the two bei'.iti 4,000,000. The brick were hoisted to the workmen by engines on cars made for the purpose, with the exception of the last few feet laid Wednesday, those being passed u,» by hand, says the Franklin News. The tunnel is lighted by incandescent lamps. Emerging from tin* tunnel the Clarion River, 150 feet below, Is exposed to view. The last touehes are now being placed .>11 the immense bridge, 853 feet long, which spans the stream, and which it is expected to have completed by JUly 20. Those In charge say this bridge has been erected under the worst difficulties they ever experienced, as all the iron for the other side had to be let down an incline road by means of cables to the water, transferred to a boat and taken to the other wide and up the steep bank there. The middle span Is now be| Ing constructed by a temporary cantilever. as the river Is navigable, and utilized, by rafts, which puts the us« of] false work out of the question. A view of this great bridge from the side Is a magnificent spectacle. The work Is being done by the King Bridge Company, of Uinghamton. N .Y. The tunnel boring on the other side 1 Is complete, but the lining will not be j finished until £he jtmd of the, ytsar, for the reason that the material necessary 1 for the work can not be taken over until trains are permitted to cross the bridge. After that the work on the other end of the road, where the grading is already done, will be pushed rapidly, and the line will probably be in complete operation a year from this time. The mile of road which contain* these two tunnels and the bridge is probably one of the most expensive ever built, its cost being over $1,000,- 000. The track is now being laid on the loop from East Brady to Polk. The work of replacing the old rails with new eighty-pound ones, i:i anticipation of the Franklin &. Clearfield traffic, which wan stopped last fall on account ol the panic, was again started three i weeks ago on the Franklin branch of the Lake Shore. It may not bo generally known, hut it Is a fact that Punxsutawney has across to tho greatest gas supply In the country. The Phillips Company has wells located In every gas tleld in several counties, and has many sources of supply upon which it Is not necessary to draw, and probably will be. 1 held In reserve for many years. With the new industries located In Punxsutawney and using the maximum amount of gas contracted for, I together with what will be required I for domestic purposes, the total "Will 1 be only a drop In a bucket, as it were, \ when compared with what Is avall-1 able. The maximum will reach probably 2,000,000 cubio feet per day, yhereas, to Superintendent the Phillips Company, they could  ply 20,000,000 cubic feet to Punxsutawney daily without drawing upon their reserve fields. Some idea of the Phillips operations can be gleaned .from the statistics of the company, wliich show that last year they drilled over 300 wells, a large majority of which are good producers.The only notable failure was in the Knoxilale field. where they spent about $100,000 in finding1 out I hat the territory in that section Is a complete fooler. The Standard Oil Company expended about $200,000 on the sama /itId, and lesser companies invested about $50,000. so that a sum of about ' $850,000 was spent in wildcatting for gas In that section. I Tin* Knox dale field Is a puzzler for the best of them, as at first II showed a pressure of about 800 or 900 pounds, whereas today none of the wells sbo\v over 20 pounds and the holes are filling up with water, a phenomena most unusual in the history of gas devel- opment. Tin* "fluke" at Knoxdale will make necessary for the Phillips Company (• dig up about eight miles of pipe ine ami the Standard people about 12 cave-ins west of the Morris School House, and in the vicinity of the Linus Lewis farm. The new section, a six- inch main, has been laid along the public highway, and as the roaJ has not been undermined, or is substan- tially supporte<), there is no further danger of the line being disturbed, and the town and industries shut off from fuel. For some time before the Heinenway amendment to the legislative ap- propriation bill, making an appropriation of!$lf>0,000 for this work, became a law and the money available, government officials were busy making tentative plans for tin-station in order that there might be on delay. This advanced the project to such an extent that the material for the station will be on the ground by July I. and it is expected the station will be in operation a month later. WASHINGTON, D. <\. June 27.— The United, States Government, within the next few weeks, will begin a series of scientific investigations into the causes of disasters in American coal mines in the hope that the present frightful mortality might be reduced to a minimum. By August 1, in accordance with plans approved by Secretary of the Interior Garfield, the Interior Department will have a complete experimental station in operation on the grounds of the Arsenal in Pittsburg, Pa. This prompt action was considered necessary because'of'the fact that the terrible mortality record of last year Is being continued into this year, although 1907 was considered an unusual one, 3,200 being killed in the coal mines as against 2,0(51 the year before. From unofficial estimates it appears that sixteen men have been killed for each work day of the year. Just the other week twenty-three mlni ers were killed and thirty injured in fand about Wllkesbarre, Pa. At the Pittsburg experimental station, tests of the various dynamites | and powders used in blasting coal will ' be made with a view to accurately determining their safety in the pres"Viieil? df the deadly flrettaftrp and deadly coal dust. Explosives of all sorts will be hurled by means of a mortar Into a mammoth' boilerplate cylinder which has previously been flilied with gas, and the effects will be carefully noted. If ignition fails after severe tests, the use of these explosives will be urged upon the mine owners of the country. That part of the experimental station in which the explosives are to be tested will be in the form of a cylinder, 100 feet long and six feet in diameter, lying on the ground. An explosive mixture of lire damp and air in one case or coal dust find air in another, will be pumped into the cylinder and the explosive to be tested will be shot into it from one end by a big steel mortar so that the flames ano dproducts of combustion will go right into the explosives. Pittsburg was selected as the site of the station because the government is already in possession of available land and buildings there, but this site Is especially because it is in the heart of : the eastern coal llelds, and in the Continued on Page Two. Special to The Spirit. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 27.—A large .section of America will have an opportunity to view the interesting stunt of old Sol tomorrow, when ho hides himself behind the .noon. The phenomenon will be visible in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and the northern portion of South America. TJie path of the eclipse passes over or very near Mexico City, Tampa, Fla., and the Bermuda Islands. It then crosses the Atlantic Ocean, and terminates in Western Africa.While outside the belt of totality, the inhabitants of America will nevertheless have a chance to witness a fairly good eclipse of the sun. It is not often that the occultatlon passes over populous regions, and it is nearly always necessary for the astronomers, physicists and other scientists to travel to distant parts of the world or to plant their telescopes and cameras in far-away islands in the southern seas in order to take their observations.

Freas heirs and their uncles and their cousins, and their aunts, likewise some grand-uncles and a large sprinkling of second cousins, to the number of about seventy souls, yesterday assembled in Punxs.utciwney's chief summer resort, the spacious Jefferson Park, where the Thirteenth Annual reunion of the Freas family was held. The day, notwithstanding the fact that it was Friday, also the 18th annual reunion, was ideal, climatically speaking, and everything connected with the event was attuned to the climate. Let the word go forth that 'Iv Freas women and their aunts are going to give a free spread, and it would require ten yoke of oxen to keep any one of the men away. Which is why. when dinner was announced yesterday, and after Uncle Walter Ellenberger had said grace, there disappeared in the twinkling of anything, more daintv delicacies, savory and toothsome viands than has ever been consumed in the same length of time by the same number of persons. It may have been a coincidence. but it created a suspicion of some sort when later In the day several members of the outing party were I seen to go Into the local hospitals. Of course the hospital delegation I %vas composed of the same members 1 of the party who hail tried to skate, 1 ride on the roller coaster, Imitate the I | trapeze man and do other acts of jug- I I glery, and It may have been that 1 their visit to the human repair .shops I had to do mostly with barked shins 1 and elbows. In particular, and skin | grafting In general. In the afternoon, while .he elder and more sedate of the clang enjoyed themselves in the shade of most any old tree and the pavilion, the rising generations disported themselves on tin- skating rink, dancing* pavilion, scenic railroad, etc., etc. The Jefferson Park Orchestra enthused everybody with inspiring1 music, the Great Ostroda gave a wonderful exhibition of muscular devel< prnent, and cleverness on the tra- i posse, and the Jefferson Park management left nothing undone to make the afternoon a most pleasant one. Tinday's enjoyment concluded with a visit to the Jefferson Theater last night to see the dog show. I Members of the reuning party present were Mrs. A. G. Gourley and family, of Reynoldsville, Mrs. XV. A. Jordan and family of Dayton, VV. O. Freas and wife, of Troutville; Mr:*. Mary Freas and family, P. O. Freaanil family, and <\ H.

PITTSBURG, June 27—Joy in its largest quantities was showered into HeKeesport homey this Riming when i'. was announced by the officials of the National Tube Company that additional departments of that great industry will resume operations Monday, June 29. The departments which will resume work will call out 5,000 men, who have been lying idle for some months. The works will run full time. Rush orders, which have been received within the past week are responsible for the opening of the various shops. It was the intention of the officials to close the entire plant down on July 4 for repairs which would require at least two weeks. The rush orders, however, make this inexpedient, and the shut down will last but three days, from July 3 to July G, and only those repairs which are vital, will be made.
