ArteSian Wells On the Plains.

Vast areas of our Western country,
not only i'll the plateau between the
Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Noun
tains, but east of the latter range, have
never been available for agricultural
purposes on account of the lack of water.
The soil is good enough, and with irri-
cation the desert would blossom as the
rose; but the water for irrigation was
not available. Commissioner Horace
Beach has been appointed by the Bureau
OF Agriculture to go West and superin-
tend experiments in procuring water by
means of artesian wells. Mr.. Beach is a
practical artesian we'll operator, for
tunately, so his superintendency will
probably accomplish definite result.
Senator Hill, of Colorado, was the
originator of the scheme. After hard
work he succeeded in 1879 in getting an
artesian well bill passed in Congress,
and an appropriation of $50, 200 to carry
on the work. The practical part was
intrusted to Commissioner LeDuc, and
under his management the appropria-
ton was exhausted when the first well
was down only 800 feet. Competent
judges have since estimated that Le-
Dues well could have been sunk for
ST., 800. Such result put temporary
quietus on the subject, but Senator Hill
has now succeeded in obtaining another
appropriation of $4,000 for the sinking
of two wells. The sites of these have
been determined. One will be at Akron,
Colo, 112 miles from Denver, on the
Chicago, burlington & Quincy Road.
The other will probably be at Kit Car
son, south of Akron, on the Kansas
Pacific Road. MIR. Beach is confident of
striking water in the first we'll before
snow flies.
In case of the success of these expert
ments, great results will follow. lrri-
CATION can be carried on for miles by
means of the water flowing from the
well. Other wells may be sunk. The
face of the whole region round about
will be entirely changed. Prosperous
farms and communities will spring up
in territory now uninhabitable, and
barren and desolate lands will be con-
verified into a populous agricultural
district. The railway authorities will,
of course, further the project by every
means in their power, as it will open up
for settlement on their lines large
extent of land now useless.
There seems to be no good reason
why water should not. be struck, if the
boring is carried on in business-like
way by practical man. If he succeeds.
Mr.. Beach will perform a valuable ser.
vice to the country.-N. Y. Express.

Illinitable Gold.

Recently Captain Burton, the trav-
eler, reported that almost illimitable
gold can be obtained on the Gold Coast,
Africa, a district which has been aurif-
erously prolific for centuries. He says
the region is equal to half dozen Cali
fornias. In this he is supported by the
English Commander Cameron. who in
vestigated the Gold Coast in his COM
pany. Gold is found in the sea sand. in
the dust of the roads and in the mud
walls of native huts. A subject of such
importance has of course been widely
discussed by experts in England, and
by this time large numbers Of pros
pectors are doubtless verifying matters
on the spot. Notwithstanding all the
difficulties that would confront gold
miners in Africa-the insalubrious cli-
mate, the savage inhabitants, the hos
tility of the native rulers, and other OBJ
stacles equally as great-there is no
doubt that when proof positive is OBJ
tanned that q great gold deposit exists
there all these difficulties will be over
come, and that the white men and the
capital and energy of civilization will flow
thither to confront those Of nature and
barbarism.
