The Rock Salt Mines.


ssThe rock salt deposit Of Southern
Louisiana is one Of the most remark
able in the world said an expert in
the business "but the, great trouble
in mining it is to keep water out of
shaft. The bed lies from sixty to
eighty feet below the surface, and,
when a shaftiis sunk, water is certain
to accumulase between the earth and
the salt. stUaless it is checked it will
run down. into the diggings and soon
honeyconsb the great crystal mass to
such an extent that the tunnel roofs
will soon aaYe in of their own weight.
In a salt snine perfect dryness is abb
oslutely essential. As long as the
water can be kept out, the bed may
be pierceeswfth Vulnerable galleries,
and they sare as safe as if driven
through sssaia granite but the Sigh
test sign # moisture is a signal OF
danger, AID in twenty-four hours the
labor of snonths will probably be
reduced ts d heap of ruins. A great
deal of mspey has been spent in fight
ing this eaetny, and a plan has been
at last deSised that promises to be
prefectly ~lSIccessful. As the shaft
is sunk a sIhuge sheet-iron cylinder
will be fitted into it, section by
section, aid d few feet below the tap
Of the deIsssit a deep groove will be
cut all thSaay arond in the solid salt.
This grow will be filed with cotton,
aturated filth alcohol, and when set
son fire tES effect is to make deep
cracks is the crystalline substance.
Melted paeh will then be poured in.
and, runFsag to the extremity OF all
the crevis, will form a perfect seal
against elIeroaching water. In order
to get fSiAer down the water will
have to Wind its way in and. out
around all the pitch-filled seams, and
before tLSae is done it viii be SO sat
urated with salt that it will lose its
power of Iarther dissolying. To make
assurance doubly sure, several
grooves will be cut in the shaft at
interyals land the sheet-iron casing
continueI, of course, down to the
point wESfe the side ~tunneiing will
begin. a this way it is hoped that
some ves extensive mining can be
done in ::bbGe near future. Loaisiana

Make Them go to Work.

New Iberia, like AbbeVille is in
Tested with a lot Of idle, vicious
niggers who may be. found at all
hours loafing around the bar rooms
and street corners, when they are
not shooting craps" These lazy
loafers are all stout strapping fellows
but cannot be induced to work.
Some niger wench packs home
enough grub out of some whiteman's
kitchen to feed these bucks so why
should they work? In New Iberia
however the mayor and citizens are
preparing to put an end to the
nuisance. Last week a big lot of these
loafers were arrested and brought
before the mayor and this is what
followed AT this time the Mayor
requested MrJack Davis to tell the
negroes what he knew. This gentle
nan then arose from his position at
His Honor's right band and said that
he had been requested by several
determined men to lead them in the
organization<of aIcommittee to put a
stop to the loafing, swearing and
obscene language of idle, vicious
negroes, or to run them out of town.
That he had interceded with the
Mayor to give them one more chance,
which the Mayor would do. At the
same time he warned the negroes
that all idle among them would be
arrested put to work on the streets
for 80 days. That such an act is
legal and can be enforced that they
had all better work, Or a mob of
indignant citizens will start after
them, when many will be shot and
killed.
Mayor Broussard then told them
he was willing to give them a chance
to reform. That he had been APP
preached by ladies who are unable
to pass along our streets, or in many
portions Of the city to sit on their
galleries, because of the terrible
obscene language and oaths uttered
by vicious and, idle negroes. He
warned them that the white people
had become tired of this, and will
stop it if they have to kill q lot OF
them. He has tried to get q number
Of them to work but they will not.
There is llenty of work for all in the
rice fields, on tie steamboats, and else
where. A steamboat was obliged to
go from this place to Morgan City
to get labor, because the negroes
hore would not work even at good
wages. He will put 10 officers or
the streets after Monday next tc
arrest any anda idle negroes and
will put them On the streets to work
for 80 days. They were then allow
ed to go.
