ArteSian Wells.

Artesian wells number 1, 900 in Caiifor-
mia. OF these 300 are in Santa Clara
valley, fifty miles from San Fancisco.
Most OF them overflow the surface, and
the tubes average seven inches in dame
ter The local resources of artesian wa
ter are now mapped out. Under the
valley runs q broad river, coming from
the great lakes of the Sierras, 200 miles
off. The pressure from 6, 600 feet eleva-
ton sutfices to throw the water above the
surface. The depth OF the bore runs
from 80 to $50 feet. Outside the
boundaries of this subterranean river
several miles wide-no depth of boring
has struck artesian water. There is rea-
son to believe that every valley in the
State has an underground river, leading
direct from the same lakes, and lying
below the superficial currents that have
no direct connection with any elevated
reservoirs.

THE GROUNDS OF CAPTAIN EADss PETITION FOR
MODIFICATION OF HIS CONTRACTING MoRE
MONEY ASKED, But ONLY CHANGE IN THE
TIMES OF PAYMENT-FAyoRABLE REPORTS OF
THE ENGINEERS.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Mr. Eads has Pc
titlOned Government for modification Of the Jotty
Act by which payments on the WORK Will be more rap
idly made depths between twentyfour aud twenty
eight feet the OF those TO be made the TWEEN
tyeght and thiry-feet payments. His petition 10 the
Secretary War been transmitted TO Congress with
the report OF Commission Of United States Engineers,
TO whom 1t by the Secretary, with letter
concurrlng in the views Of the engineers. These
officers consider the question as 10 the conccs
sions asked for by Mr.. Eads one which be-
longs peculiarly TO Congress. They, however state that
the works are OF character contemplated
by the law and that in their incomplete condition they
have withstood the storms and casualties 10 which
they have been subjected with but little IN
jury; and that their success so far makes
1t to the interest OF the Government
aud the country, only TO have the constructions
on pushed with the utmost possible vgor, 10
such point least shall insure their security and
utmost efficiency Of action in increasing the capacity OF
the channel"
Mr.. Eads his petition that be undertook the
construction and maintenance OF the works for $685.
ITO less than the sum estimated for them by the
United States Commission OF 1874, which was
the subject; and in addition to this he agreed
10 assume the entire risk Of failure OF the jetty
system TO produce the required depths besides under
taking all risks OF injury destruction the works
while being built and that his application only
comes AFTER the country Is Ia the enjoyment OF
substantial benefits from them, and after their
pormaDence Is attested by the eminent officers OF
the Government. He saws that TO guard the Govern
ment against the possibility OF any risk whatever the
payments made by the law ~ depend upon the at
tainnent Of certain specified depths, and that while
the total cost will exceed his antcipations the
portion Of the whole work that 1t has been found
say TO execute 20 the present depths greatly
exceeds the proportion Of the whole cost which he
received Or the total price be paid, vz 5250O00,
he has received only 81 100000 while he claims that
| he has completed four-Afths of the entire work.
The commission, while fully agreeing with Mr..
Eads as TO the proportion Of the whole that Is coin
say that when he receives under the present law g.
100000 cash, and S2500o0 10 one year thereafter.
