A Disappear
ing Town..

Northwich, the center Of the salt in
dustry of Great Britain, is one of the
Queerest towns in the country. The
whole underlying country is simply one
mass Of salt. When descending a shaft,
one passes through successive thick
strata OF the mineral. The mining of
the salt constitutes the staple industry
of the district, aud from which North
wlch alone 100000 tons OF salt are
shipped annually. The product is OBJ
tained by two methods-quarrying and
brine pumping. In the former case,
which is the method generally adopted.
shaft Is sunk about 300 feet, and the
salt rock blasted and excavated in the
usual manner. Ths hrine-pumping, al
though it is still continued upon q
large scale, Is gradually falling into
disuse. When the industry was started
Is was considered that only one STRAIT
um of salt existed, and that was only a
few feet below the surface. Fresh
water found its way to this ex-
tensive salt deposit, with the reault
that the salt dissolved like snow. A
huge subterranean lake of water,
charged with 26 per cent of salt, was
thus formed. Pumping engines we're
then installed to convey this brine to
the surface to large evaporating pans,
in which heavy deposit of salt was
left after the water had evaporated.
The result Of this extensive pumping
Is that Northwich rests, as it were, up
on a shell of earth, which at times

News and Views
xnAian Trisr xnIuncsson.

A decidedly interesting situation is
developing in Oklahoma. where the
United States federal government has
been planning to throw open for sot-
t!ement the lands Of the Kiowa, Com
anche and Apache indians on Aug. ..
says an editorial writer in the Chicago
News. AS has happened heretofore
when Indian lands were opened for
settlement, the boomers" in large
numbers have lined up along the bor-
der Of the territory. Some OF them, in
their anxiety lest they be unfortunate
in the distribution. have crossed the
line. in spite OF all restrictions, stak-
ing out claims which seem desirable
and preparing to seize and hold them
by force. To obviate this. the federal
officials have arranged a novel plan
of drawing lots; the man drawing the
first number receiving the right to take
his pick, the one drawing the next
number securing second choice and
SO on.
As there are only 13, 473 homestead
claims. 1t was certain that many Of the
boomers must be disappointed and the
prospects for an open clash were
bright. Now. however. a new and
wholly unexpected complication ap-
pears in the shape OF a protest from
poor Lo himself. The humble red
man, in the person Of one Lone Wolf,
through his attorneys, propose to plead
in the courts that under the constitu-
tion mo person shall be deprived Of
life. liberty or property without due
process Of law" and that therefore the
taking OF the Indians land Is uncon-
stitutional. Whether or not Io Is a
person" Is for the courts to discover.
Certainly he has not always been treat
ed as such. but his present attitude OF
resistance indicates that he may have
been undergoing a process OF evolution
which Is turning him into one.
