A City Built Over a Subteranean
Lake.

WICHITA, Kan, Nov. 1.-The sim
gular discovery has been made that
the city OF Wichita is built above a
subterranean lake. A prospect we'll
is being drilled at the expense of
the city to find out whether coal, oil
or gas is within reach. To the sur
prise OF all, except few old citizens
who have for years entertained the
pet theory that Wichita was built
upon what they were pleased to
term a floating island, it was found
that underneath the city is a sheet
of water thirty-five feet in depth.
The striking of this great body of
water at the point selected by the
committee for making the investiga-
ton is no accident. This is the
third we'll sunk in Sedgwick county
that has revealed this condition.
The drill, after reaching the bottom
OF the lake, struck stratum of blue
clay OF such firm consistency as to
render it impossible for water to
flow through it, The flow of water,
when, when the lake was struck, was
80 strong that it was impossible for
the pumps to have the least effect
Water tight tubing has been put
down through the lake and buried
firmly in the clay. This completely
shuts out the great flow of water,
and the contractor will make rapid
progress from this time on. The
we'll will go down to a depth OF $500
feet il nothing OF valuable nature
is found this side of that distance.
Biologists connected with several
Eastern colleges are watching the
progress of the investigation with
interest 81. Louis Republic,

The MORNING APPEAL.
Assem- bly, Bill Ga.

Instead IF passing Assembly bill
No. "a, to help out a paper which has
been a heavy tax upon the railroad
in the past, the Chronicle believes the
Legislature would do better f. inquire
into the freight charges of the V. u
T., with a view of cutting them down.
For instance, our coal comes from
Wyoming. The Union Pacific
charges 81 per ton for local delivered
at Ogden; the charge of the Central
Pacific for coal delivered at Reno tor
San Francisco is 81 per ton, and the
charge from Reno to Virginia City
is likewise 81 per ton-a distance OF
50 miles. And in view Of the fact that
freight, from San Francisco are
brought from Reno to Virginia City
by rail only when the Geiger grade is
blockaded by snow, might also be
looked into. The Chronicle is in
formed by one OF the heaviest com
mercial houses in this city that it
costs $50 a carload more to have
goods broughts by rail than it does
by team from Reno.
So the Chronicle thinks that, il the
v. ST ;, which was built largely at
the expense Of Storey and Ormsby
counties, wants to keep up organs in
several counties, it had better do il
by taxing itself instead Of foisting
much taxation upon paners which
have no interest in the existence Of a
railroad which cannot compete with
private teams.-Chrouicle.
The APPEAL agrees with the Chron-
zeal. let the railroad corporations
take care of their own newspapers
The regular unsubsidized newspapers
OF the State don't want rrt competl
