Christmas Day, 1879. Brought us b
Coolest Slice of Atmosphere Ever
Known to Yanktonfans.
Wednesday was a cold day and Wednes-
day night was colder still, but the climax of
low thermometer was reached Christmas
morning about sixo'clock, when the mercu-
ry scored %thirtv-four below zero. but re-
NAMED at that point only about q quarter of
an hour. The evening previous was clear,
with a slight northwest breeze, aud people
did not realize the severity of the weather
until the thermometer revealed it. Laterin
the evening the wind shifted 10 s%outbwes +,
and there was a slight modification in the
Temperature, but along towards morning IL
got back 10 lis old position and the mercu-
~ sank rapidly until it reached thirty.,our

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. l4.-Private dispatches from
st. Louis says at a meeting there to-day of
stockholders of the Wabash railroad the vote
for consolidation with the st. Louis, Kansas
City & Northern was almost unanimous. A
meeting for election of board of directors
and officers of the consolidated line will be
held at Toledo, Nov. Z. Till then the roads
will be operated separately, as heretofore, and
no changes made in officers. The opinion pre-
walls here that Jay Gould will be the president
of the new line, and that the headquarters of
the company will be in st. Louis, but this can
not be determined till after the Toledo meet
ing. The consolidation gives great satisfac-
ton.

Mrs. J. F. Pannell and child, who WIRE
passengers on the train which collided with
freight train at Jackson, Mich, on Friday
last, arrived home yesterday morning. The
escape of herself and child from instant
death is something almost miraculous, the
car in which they were travelling being the
worst wrecked in the train. The child es-
capped without bruise and Mrs. Pannell's
injuries consist of several cuts on the head,
the most serious being a cash six inches
long on the top of the head. DR.. Richeson
attended Mrs. Pannell yesterday afternoon
and dressed her wounds, which, he stated,
had not been properly dressed, owing, no
doubt, to the large number of injured which
had to be cared for. The physician does not
apprehend any serious results from present

How They are Operated In South Africa
An Interesting Letter to St. Paulite.
Mr.. BENZ. N. Cardozo, doing business at
rs Jackson street, yesterday received letter
from his cousin, Mr.. Ben n. Hart, one of
the proprietors of the Kimberley diamond
mine, dated from kimberley, South Africa.'
From an exceedingly interesting letter of
eight large pages We were permitted to Gull
the following description of the process of
locating, excavating and operating diamond
mine in South Africa, which We present to
our readers as peculiarly interesting in this
country:
shall now endeavor to give you, to the
best of my poor ability, sketch of the
Kimberly mine as it is. will first describe
the Bopjie as we'll as am able. Don't ex
pect an elaborate description and you won't
be disappointed. You must imagine your
self in an immense plain; when you are
there drive peg in any part of the ground,
to which attach piece of string, in length
the string must be about 1900 feet take
this string out to the full extent, 1900 feet,
mark the spot, then walk round with the
string stretched to the full length until you
arrive at the starting point. You will then
havea circle of 5000 feet. Excavate this as
4OiAo#S: LEV tNe greatest Qeptn be 4ZU feet
and the smallest about 26O feet build de-
posting boxes round the outer circle of this
cavity, from which lead wires into the
ground below, for hauling purposes. From
these depositing or receiving boxes 20 back
500 to 1000 feet and build engine houses
right round and put engines in same varying
from five to twenty horse power, one to every
receiving box. Attach wires from the en-
gines, to pass over jumpers that are on the
depositiDg boxes, and SO into tho basin you
have dug. The wires must be fixed to tubs
of, in size, say twenty cubic feet have
thousands of Kafirs in this pit picking and
shoveling ground into these tubs. Tell your
engineers to get up steam and haul away,
one tub going up full of ground, the other
going down at the same time empty, carts at
every depositing box removing the contents
of same to the sorting ground. Some sort
ing places are u mile from the kopjie you
have dug. You are fully at work now, tubs
going down. tubs coming up, carts coming
and going, Kaf6rs shouting and singing, all
hustle and confusion; and thus you have the
best description can give of the Kimber-
ley mine. Were to enumerate the different
ways of working, such as telling you how
tram cars are used instead of carts, tunnels
dug, shafts cut, and several other things in
connection with tho working of this great
mine, l should run short of pens, ink and
paper. So with the poor idea have given
you must rest content. In my next will
| tell you how most people live here, and the
manners and customs of the kimberley
