A TWO-MILE HOLE,
TO Make Earth's Heat Furnish Steam
For Surface Needs.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The deepest hole in the world is being
dug just outside of Pittsburg, under the
direction of Prof. William Hallock of Co
lumbia College, and before the cold wealth
err sets in he expects to prove that the in
terror of the earth is a vast furnace, capa-
Bile of furnishing an inexhaustible supply
of steam.
Already the hole has been bored to a
| depth of nearly 5000 feet and by the first
of November it is expected that a depth
of 10000 feet will be reached, or approx
mately, two miles. The second deepest
hole in the world is the Shaladaback salt
well, near Leipsic, which has a depth of
$40 feet. A well recently sunk near
Wheeling, w. Va, has a depth of $500
feet, and the Sperenberg salt we'll near
Berlin has a depth of 4,170 feet In East
Silesia boring has been going on for some
time in well which is to be sunk to a
| depth of $500 feet, but the Pittsburg hole
easily leads them all.
When the boring at the latter place was
| first begun il was merely for commercial
purposes, and both gas and oil were
struck in paying quantities a few feet be-
low the surface. The company owning the
plant, however, at the solicitation of Prof
Hallock, was induced to carry on a series
Of temperature Investigations, and for sew
eral months the work has been under the
sole direction of the college professor.
There is comparatively little expense
attached to the work, as the gas found
near the surface is used to operate the
powerful machines which do the drilling.
There is some outlay, of course, the main
expense being the wages of the necessary
Workmen, but when the whole Is COM
pleted the company expects to have a bo-
nanza that will endure as long as the
world lasts.
Prof. Halock was induced to try the
experiment of finding natural steam by the
knowledge of the proven fact that the
earth grows steadily hotter the deeper it
is penetrated From the progress already
made it is believed that the temperature
of the earth is sufficiently hot at about
$500 feet below the surface to convert wa
ter into steam. In other words, it Is be-
lieved that the temperature at this point
is PIP degrees.
At 10000 feet, the proposed depth of the
well, the temperature is figured to be 22S
degrees. If, however, these estimates are
not realized, the drill will be kept working
until the truth or falsity of Prof Hallock' s
theory is proven beyond peradventure.
If natural steam is not encountered.
Prof. Hallock believes that the walls of
the well will be so hot that cold water
can be pumped down and pumped up again
in the form of steam. The economic value
Of such q discovery is readily apparent.
1t would be the birth of the natural DOW
er of the future and in the long run cheap
or than any yet discovered, not excepting
the power obtained by the Harvesting of
Niagara
The observations taken show that the
temperature increases on an average one
degree for each sixty feet. In certain
stages OF the work the Increase has been

ATLANTA's SMALLPOX.
Three New Cases Discovered Among
Negroes There Yesterday.

Atlanta, Ga, oct. 12.-Three cases of
smallpox were discovered on Gray street
today The parties had been in hiding
and for that reason had not been discov-
cred before
The first stricken was an old one-armed
negro, who kept himself shut up in his
house with his daughter, who also con-
tracted the disease. The other case was
in the house The three sick We're sent
to the hospital and the other inmates of
the house We're quaranttned.
A negro by the name of Wilson was sent
out Monday and his wife was cooking for
a white family al the time. A search was
instituted for her so that she could be
quarantined but she threw up her job
and is now hiding out. Later in the day
another case was discovered on Decatur
street. near the station house, and pro-
nounced smallpox by the health officers.
There was another woman in the same
house. and 1t was decided to move the two
negro women TO the smallpox hospital,
and to remove their household effects also,
to prevent contagion.
No danger of the spread of the disease
among the white people is anticipated, as
every precaution is being taken TO isolate
the cases discovered, as well as those that
have been exposed. But for the efforts Oh
the negroes to elude the vigilance of the
health authorities to keep from being sent
out to the hospital, the disease would have
been completely stamped out. Rigorous
measures have been adopted to find the
guilty ones and to send them where there
will be no danger of contagion. To-days
cases makes seven sent to the hospital
since Yesterday, the six others sent there
several weeks ago, Favlng been dismissed.

TAX ASSESSMENT LEGISLATION.
BIaIOck Committee Thinks the Lack
of Such Law Has Caused the Loss.

BIaIOclI Committee Thinks the Lack
of Such Law Has Caused the Loss.
Atlanta. Ga, Oct Pit is possible that
there will be some legislation at the APP
preaching session of the legislature on the
subject of tax assessment.
The Blalock committee has notified Con-
troller General Wright that they will con
fer with him prior to the meeting of the
assembly for the purpose of considering
legislation that will equalize the tax as
sessment, prevent inadequate returns, and
discover unreturned property. This evil
has grown so great that it is attracting
the attention of people all over the state,
and will undoubtedly lead to considerable
discussion in the legislature.
Since the repeal of the act passed six
years ago for the establishment of boards
of equalization there has been little check
on inadequate returns and the slump in
property is thought to have been increas-
ed by the repeal of that act.
Mr.. I. NJ. Swift of the Blalock commit
tee will introduce a bill providing for a
board of assessors in each county similar
TO those in Atlanta and other cities. 1t is
thought by many that a straightout as
Eessment system is the only plan that will
prove effective, but so far no one has had
political courage enough to introduce and
champion such measure.

TOM BL0DGETT BACK IN JAIL.
STATE COURTS NOW HOLD HIN FOR
CHEATING AND sWINDLING.

Charges the Outcome of His Chcro-
I1ee County TranSnctions-Wiu he
Taken There to stand TrinI-He
Claims Persecution Because He
BucISed out of Bucks Hprncss and
Supported Recd-Dire Threats
Against the Republican Powers
That he.
Atlanta. Ca, oct. 12-Thomas Blodgett,
the wide-mouthed republican, who has
been threatening all sorts of dire things
unless he was provided with good place
at the pie counter, was arrested again
to-day on account of his alleged black
mailing of aspirants for jobs at the Gus
tom house.
Several days ago Blodgett was indicted
by the federal grand jury and spent a
day and night in jail, when his brother
went his bond and got him out. The
charges in the indictment were that he
had collected from SIS to 500 each from
several Cherokee county republicans upon
representation that he was able and would
give them jobs.
The charges upon which he was arrested
to-day are based upon the same alleged
state of facts, although this time II is the
state courts that have been called into
requisition by the alleged victims. Cheating
and swindliug is the formal charge and
Blodgett will be taken to Cherokee coun-
ty by the sheriff tomorrow to stand trial
Blodgett, with great warmth, declares
that he is being prosecuted by the adj
herents of Buck, because he kicked out
of harness last fall and supported Reed
for the presidential nomination. His time
will come by and by, however, he says,
and then he viii make the powers that
be" shake in their shoes by his revela-
tions.
In the particular case upon which he
was arrested to-day he claims that Mr.
Mosteller the prosecutor, simply loaned
him some money and holds his note for
it. the transaction being merely a loan,
and not the price of a promised job.
