THE DEPTH OF MINING SHAFTS.
From the Baltimore American j


Twenty years ago the deepest mining
3 1000 feet below the surface. The very
deepest, we believe, was metalliterous
mine in Hanover, which had been carri-
ed down to a depth of 2,200 feet. The
deepest perpendicular shaft to-day is
the Adelbcrt shaft, in a silver-lead mine
in Prizibram, in Bohemia, which has
reached a depth of $3.50 feet. The at
tainment of that depth was made the
occasion of three days festival, and
still further noticed by the striking off OF
a large number Of commemorative sill
yer medals of the value Of tlOrin each.
There is no record OF the beginning OF
work on this mine, although its written
history goes back to 1927. An elegant
commemorative volume has been written
and printed, which is most interestine O
to those that have taste for either the
actualities or antiquities of mining in-
dustry. There are two other localities,
however, where greater depth has
been reached than at the Adelbcrt shalt
but not in 4 perpendicular line. These
are: |. The Rock salt bore hole, near
Sperenberg, not far from Berlin, which
few Years ago had been bored to 4
depth of 4,175 feet; =. The coal mines
of Viviers Remus, in Belgium. where
the miners, by shaft sinking, together
with boring, have reached Il total depth
of 3,542 feet. Turning from these two
mines, no shaft in unbroken perpendicu.
lar line has yet exceeded the depth Of
$3.50 feet. The deepest bore hole in the
world in the artesian spring at Potsdam
in Missouri, which reaches depth Of
) 800 feet

Although Bishop Whipple believes

educated and civilized, he is not in favor
of allowing them a separate and indie

the bluntering and mschievous fiction
of Indian tribal sovereignty should be
wiped out, and that they should be
made subject to the laws OF the United
States, just like all other dwellers with

them capable OF being converted, and

LIGHTNING BOLT WRITING GODS
NAME ON A BLASPF GHBR.


Some oi our contemporaries seem dis
posed to question the tluth OF our state
ment that u negro man who was killed
by Lightning few days ago in Campbell
county had the letters GOD" on his
body. DR.. Thomas Z. Moorman, whose
postoffice address is Mt Zion, Campbell

circumstances. from which we extract
the following:

He revived after n few minutes, and
soon seemed to have regaincd all of his

was burned on his chest and left side
and arm before the fire was extinguished.
In his maniac efforts to free himself from
those who were restraining him the skin
was rubbed from the burned flesh and

dollars. The capital invested in the
enterprise is SS.5OO,000. The running

nine days are estimated by competent
Judges to be about 81, 800, 900. There
fore, to pay for itself and return the
money advanced by the government and
by private subscribers to the stock, the
gross receipts must be 100000 900. In

must be nine times as great as it was
during the first half.
