DEs MONIES, IA, September r2.-The re-
cent outburst at Belle Plaine of power
ful subterranean stream, caused by the
sinking of an artesian we'll, excites great
interest in Iowa. A number of successful
drillings have been made in that place, but
this last seems to have struck fissure OF
great size through which poured stream
ofimmense volume and force. A careful
study of Iowa geology will furnish an ex-
PLANTATION of the phenomenon. The
town is situated in the val
lev of the Iowa river, twenty 10
thirty miles south of the line OF outcrop OF
the Hamilton group of rocks. The lmper-
vious limestone strata dips southwark at
an average of fifteen feet to the mile. AT
Belle Plaine these rocks lie at u consldera-
BILE depth; covered with shale, blue clay,
surface drift, gravel and soil. The water
trickles through the sand rock at the lar
northward, following down through MS
sures until il is confined between the lime
stone beds and the superintendent mass
of imperyious blue clay. The press from
the distant fountain head is very great.
The Belle Plaine well was sunk through
the clay and friable material to the depth
of about 1s5 feet, and the force OF the up
ward stream was sufficient to enlarge the
aperture, breaking through the shale and
blue clav, and throwing out vast quantl-
ties of clay, sand and gravel. The other
seven wells in Belle Plaine ceased their
flow when the great geyser was struck.
This indicates that there is a connection OF
assures and a common fountain head AT the
north, and it may be expected that IN time
there will be some decrease Ill the volume
of the water.
PREPARING TO STOP THE FLOW.
4 dispatch from Belle Plains says: En-
gncer Morgan, of Chicago, who has been
here examining the ''geyser" well, has re-
turned home. He estimates the discharge
of water at 1000, 900 gallons daily, with a
pressure of twenty-five pounds to the
square inch. There is no immediate dan
yer from the overflow The tive-inch pipe
to he sunk with the cone-shaped top will
be - feet in length, and the success of the
experiment will depend upon sinking 1t IN
the exact centre of the well. If this does
not succeed, 2O-inch life well will be
sunk below the water spout, which is ex-
pected to stop the flow, rs the last well
stopped the other seven.
The proposed new well will be lifted
with 4 cap 50 that when the geyser Is hlled
up the water may be forced back into the
seven wells which have ceased flowing.
The only danger apprehended is that when
the water is cut of the loose soil for anum-
Der OF feet about the well, which is now
buoyed up by its pressure, may cave IN,
making bad hole in the street. This will
be about fifty feet deep, since the soil to
that depth is composed Of sand and gravel.
The crisis is supposed to be past.
