tho proper methods of handling

Tho committee has gono ns far nn
It can with its work. It has de
veloped and secured options on
springs which it tins every reason to
bollovo will supply In abundance
waters of every vnrlety known to this
locality llthln, sulphur, soda, iron,
etc. The next step Is to have nn
accurate analysis of these and to
know to an absoluto certainty wha.
can bo done with them In tho way
of piping, etc.
In this regard citizens generally
will agrco with tie committee's Idea
that tho best authority Im nono tin
good. If tho waters are to bo piped
In nt public expense the public must
know absolutely that they are worth
It nnd that tho proper methods are
used. It Is not a matter In which
guesswork can be tolerated With
this Idea tho committee will secure
tho services of tho best expert Iho
country nffotds nnd will also avail
Itself of experts In tho employ of Iho
)mmt railway s stems which wou'd
nnturnlly be Interested In seeing a
great resort city built up hero.

Tho llthln spring on tho Murphy

nbovo this spring gives forth a hoi
tow sound when driven over nnd ap
parently It Is n direct outlet from the
great uudorrround reservoir which
must supply tho various springs and
seepages of the Immedinte locality.
Tho public nwnlts with much In
terest tho opinion of experts on this
spring. Tho qunllty of Its wntors
lends ninny to believe It tuny rival
tho fnmoun springs nt Cnrlsbnd, Ger

an outcome Is somewhat staggering
It would mean nn inland city the
