Leavenworth Natatorium, Leavenworth County. 
A natatorium has been established on Third street and Met- 
ropolitan avenue, near the United States military reservation, 
by the Home-Riverside Coal-mining Company, to utilize the 
waters from their mines. These mines are about 750 feet deep, 
and the salt water or ‘‘ocean spray’’ is pumped from this depth. 
The pump for this water has a two-inch discharge and is run 
from four to six hours per day, to pump the water into cisterns, 
and from thence to the natatorium. 
The building is 41 x 100 feet, with dressing-rooms 15 x 40 feet 
and 6x 100 feet. There is aswimming pool 30x75 feet, with 
a depth of from 2 to 7 feet. This place is operated more as a 
resort than for medical or cleansing purposes. ‘There is such 
an abundance of water as to admit of a continuous flow through 
the pool. This natatorium is in operation during the summer 
months, and last season served about 6000 people.
