is THE WORLD MADE OF sALTq
A German Mine Over 1000 Feet Deep,
with No Apparent End.

Near the village of Spenrenberg, about
twenty miles from Berlin, Germany, is
situated the deepest salt mine in the
world. At last accounts it was 4.194
feet deep, the first 1000 feet being 16
feet in diameter.
1t was begun in the year 1869, gov
eminent authorities having charge Of
the work, the avowed purposes of the
work being to ascertain the exact thick
ness of the rock salt vein known to ex.
ist beneath the gypsum substrata
Astounding in that vicinity. The salt
rock was reached before the shaft had
passed the 800 foot level, but the size of
the mammoth shaft was not lessened
until it had reached depth of nearly
one-ffth of a mile, after which the
boring was continued with an auger-bit
thirteen inches in diameter.
When the boring was discontinued at
the depth of 4,l94 feet, 5000 feet of
which was pure rock salt, the end of the
auger-bit was cutting away on the sa-
line deposit, which is still of unknown
thickness.

For it was midwinter of 1S63-that
clime-imposed rest in the grapple for
life, or death, of the blue and gray
giants, still watching in eager crouch on
either side of that world-noted river.
A moony haze that was not light, yet
doomed up objects of near distance in
glgantesque dimness, lay over the land;
and the east wind, sweeping across the
broad Potomac, paused an instant to
touch its lips to her cold waves, then
mounted the southern bank with new
chilled breath from the caress, to swirl
about the riders pressing onward in
seeming defiance of its efforts.

black plume, and high thigh boots, rest

to each stride of his black horse.

such night, on that lonely trail of the
neutral ground in time of fragrant war,
the womans face would have challenged
closer scrutiny. TIE clear-cut, high

too, might have noted that the rough

but OF most symmetric curves; that the
gauntlets covered hands as long and

that the heavy coils of ruddy-gold hair,

COM. HANNAY'S LETTER.

We publish elsewhere a letter from
Commissioner Hannay giving his rea-
sons why the foundation of the new
jail should not be put in this fall. We
are glad to know that none of the
beard opposed the letting of the
contract because it would
give employment to Mankato
laboring men. The commissioner who
after the meeting gave this as his
reason probably said it to conceal
some other reason.
The plans submitted by Architect
Gerlach call for plain, modest build
ing to cost about $4,000. OF this sum
$12,000-goes into the steel and iron
cell work. We have handsome court
house that is now the pride of every
resident of the county. In building
jail the needs of the next fifty years
should also be anticipated.
Mr.. Hannay lays a good deal of
stress upon the statement that the
jail at Rochester costs but $40, 900 and
that Secretary Hart reported that sit
is a model for the counties of the
state" The jail is good one for the
county in which it is located and if
the most of the counties of the state
had as good jails they would be well
off. But Mr. Hart did not mean that

counties of the larger size, like Blue
Earth county. A large and important
county needs larger and better con-
structed jail. Mr.. Hart has approved
the plans prepared by Mr.. Gerlach
The Rochester building has several
features which are undesirable anC
to rectify which would make costliel
building. The foundation OF the Blue
Earth county Jail will be laid in wei
place, and to make it solid extra wOrE
must be done, involving larger ex
penses, although part Of this coulC
be saved by putting it in this fall
when labor and material are cheap.

is no money in the county treasur,
