Steam OutdOna.

The Artesian wells ofDakota areproba-
bly, the most remarkable for pressure, and
the immense quantity of water supplied,
of any ever opened. More than hun.
dred of such wells from 506 to 500 feet
deep are to-day in successful operation,
distributed throughout twenty.nine coun.
ties, from Yankton in the extreme south
TO Pembina in the extreme north, giving
forth constant, never-yarying stream,
which is in no wise affected by the in.
creased number of wells, and showing a
gauge pressure in some instances as high
as 100, 40, l75 and 1877 pounds to the
square inch. The tremendous power is
utilized in the more important towns for
water supply, fire protection. and driving
Of machinery, at a wonderful saving Ton
the original cost of plant and msinten-
ance, when compared with steam. 10
the city of Yanktown a 40.horse power
turbine wheel operating tow.mill by
day and an electric light plant by night,
is driven by the force Of water flowing
from an Artesian we'll. What has been
been accomplished through the aid Of
natural gas and cheap fuel in building up
manufactures elsewhere may some day
be rivalled on the prairies of Dakota by
tapping the ine1haustible power stored
in natures reservoirs beneath the surface.

Prospects for Building the Cumberland
Gan Road.

In the Raiaoay Age, of the 9Th inst, it
is stated that the contract for the building
of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap e
Chicago Railroad from Edgedeld to
Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, has been
let to the Atlantic and Northwestern
Construction Company ofNew York. ".
q. Scho6eld, ITO Broadway, New York,
is president of the construction company,
and W. b. Schofeld. .jr., is superintendent
of construction, with headquarters st
Aiken, S. @. The lire included in the
contract is distance of three hundred
and fifty miles, passing by Abbeville,
touching Pickens, crossing the Air Line at
Easley, penetrating the Blue Ridge
by comparatively easy grades through
Estatoe Gap and thence on by AsheVille
to the Tennessee line and the Cumberland
Gap.
. It is believed by those here who are
best posted on the affairs Of the O.C g.
& @. Road that this new contract means
the completion of the road. W. a..
schofeld, who is at the head of the con-
struction company, is the man who has
faithfully worked at the enterprise for
years, and to whose energy and ability
and fidelity its present existence is largely
due. After years of struggle with no ap..
parent prospect Of success, during which
time Col. R. E. Bowen, the President of
the road, and Mr.. schoheld, its financial
agent, we're Its almost lone supporters,
the first section of the new line was built
from Aiken to Edgefeld. That section
is now in successful operation, and with
the awarding of q contract for the
building Of the road through the noun
tains, its friends are beginning to look
fondly to the consummation Of the great
enterprise.

Jefferson Davis on Race Riots.

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 9.-In personal
letter to Park Commissioner Root, of this
city, MI. Jefferson Davis writes concern.
ing the race riots in Mississippi:
"The tendency to change seems to grow
upon the negroes with the indulgence Of
their right to leave at will. The account
Of riots in this State have been greatly
exaggerated. Though it may seem ain.
gular, it is true that race conflicts gener.
ally occur where the negroes are few
compared to the whites and the personal
association much closer than on heplau-
tions. On our our island we have Eve
hundred or six hundred blacks and say
ten or a dozen whites. There has never
been disturbance among them. We
for several years had negro magistrate
He has now gone away, but before his
departure we'll behaved, sober young
man defeated the negro in the last elec.
ton contest, which at least shows that
the negroes to large extent are willing
to trust a white man."

appointed to succeed him, and she has
since administered the affairs of the Office
to the complete satisfaction, is said, of
the people of the town.
Miss Bessie says she knows she is an
