Description Of Mammoth Springs.

This spring, though comparatively un-
known, is among one of natures grandest
curiosities. 1t rises about one hundred
yards from the southern boundary line of
Missouri, in township 81, north of range 5
west, in Fulton county, Arkansas. 1t ap-
pears to boil up out of the ground at the
foot of large hill. The spring covers
vbout five acres, and makes river that
could be navigated by small boats were it
not for the abundant fall over cliffs and
large stones. On this river is the greatest
water power or mill site, almost, in the
world, having so much fall, and the advan-
tage of rock bottom, and water enough to
run all the machinery that man could
wish to own. The river flows south and
southeast, to its junction with Black river,
about ten miles below Pocahontas, Arkan-
sas. Il Exchange. ata

Guiding hre-plugs, stop-cocks, &C. $50, 1850
During the year Oregon Hill. the peniten-
tiary, and many other parts Of the city, have
been supplied with water; ali of which arc
included in the aggregate cost of pipe laid.
One hundred and lightweight new connec.
tionS have been made for private and other
buildings, the cost of which is S3,3S4, and
the annual watcr-rent accruing from these
attachments about S3,S0O. The water-rents
generally will be much increased by addi-
tlonaI fixtures put in during the year. The
work of laying the large main pipe on Cary
| street has been commenced. Its progress
| in winter will be slow. More than half Of
| the castings necessary for this work have been
made. approved, and received. This is q
work OF considerable magnitude, and will
| require several months to complete it..
| In view Of the rapid enlargement of the
city and the constant demand for water new
| and improved pumpng-machinery is now
being built, and it is hoped that this work
| may be ready for Use by the middle oi the
summer. These pumps and appendages are
now being made by our well-knoWn and
energetic machniStS MesSrS. Talbot Sons
and Joseph Hall & CO.
There are now in the city about II miles
Of pipe, 240 tire-p'uss, and about 1000
| water-takcrS, besides many public u>cs ol
water not charged for.
1t is presumed the enlargement Of the re-
servoir will very soon be commenced. \
larger and better arranged reservoir has long
been really necessary.

NEW BTJIIDJNGS ERECTED.

The year 1872 was one of great prosperity
amongst our builders, who were Kept bus lily
employed in the erection of all classes of
buildings. Although hundreds of new
dwellings were built, the demands of our
increasing population are far from being sup
piled. From the City Assessor we learn
that the amount expended in new buildings
and additions to old buildings dutsng the
year was 81 ,O69, 1888. This is the taxable
valuation, which is always short Of the real!
sum expended, and does not include the
many buildings now in course Of erection.
