PIERCED THE QUiCKSAND.
A Caisson Sunk to Loulsiana's Great
Bed OF Salt.

A Boston contractor. G. A. Has
kins, has succeeded in sinking a l2-
foot caisson through the quicksand
on Weeks Island in Iberia parish,
thus enabling the Myles Salt Com
pany to get to the great salt de-
post, says the New Orleans cor
respondent of the New York Sun.
These quicksands have been the
obstacle encountered by those who
have tried to get at the valuable
mineral deposits known to exist
beneath the lower coast of Louisi-
ana. The salt deposit, 1898 per
cent. pure, covers several thous-
and miles of territory and is sew
eral miles thick, hut the quick
sands have hitherto rendered it
impossible to reach and mine it
except in a few localities. The
sulphur mine in Calcasieu parish.
owned by the Standard Oil Com
pany,' is similarly overlaid by a
quicksand.
Not until this problem of picrc-
ing the quicksands is solved can it
be determined whether the Louis
lana coast is an oil country like
Texas.
Mr.. Haskins' success is the re-
suit of two years of experience.
A dozen different plans were tried,
but all failed. Mr.. Haskins final.
ly determined to sink a caisson
and then secure an artificial shaft.
The caisson at Weeks Island is
composed of circular steel bands.
each eighteen inches in height. As
one sinks in the quicksand, anoth-
er is riveted to it. The earth is
taken out as the caisson sinks. At
forty-three feet depth the quick
sand proper was reached. The
water in it was forced back by the
use of compressed air, the caisson
in the meanwhile being capped by
an air lock. The caisson was sunk
through tho quicksand and finally
through a stratum of clay. II
then rested on the bed of rock
salt and was sunk some feet farth-
er into the salt. The miners can
now work at..the bed of rock salt.
1t was announced, only a few
days ago, that the shaft was COM
plete and successful and that mi
ners have been getting out some
600 tons a day. The main shaft
will be carried down 400 or 500
feet, and tunnels run out in all
directions from it. The salt will
be mined by pick and blasting.
While the caisson has been q
success in this instance, grave
doubts are expressed whether a
shaft can thus be carried through
a quicksand more than 100 feet
thick.

NEED OF UNIFORM DIvoRcELAws

The American Bar Association,
in session at Denver, Colo, this
week is taking up the discussion
Of a uniform divorce law for the
States of the Union, ana also uni
form insurance laws.
The divorce laws of America
have become a farce. They have
done more toward lowering the
moral tone of the nation than al
most any other one thing. They
are 80 lax in some States that for
eigners divorced under them are
arrested for bigamy on returning
home with legally welded Amer
ican wives.
There may be need for uniform
insurance laws. There is no doubt
about the noed for uniform di-
vorce statutes. Americans must
be just as much divorced in one
State as in another and just as
much married, and there must be
no divorcing without knowledge
of both parties interested.

FIREMEN's BENEFIT NEXT SAT.

On Saturday evening next at

rated within the past year during

for the purpose were successfully
had, and that this fund has al

that disease is transmitted through

The Gulfport Record wants a
Republican party in Mississippi.
1t says: 1.-The proposition to or
ganize white Republican party in
this State may not be so bad af-
ter all. OF course, remembering
the shame and humiliation that
Mississippi suffered under Repub-
lican rule during the reconstruc.
tion period allegiance to that par
ty would be something in the ma
ture of a bitter pill. But recon-
struction period is over. Repuh-
lican leaders have all over in re-
cent years shown the South much
friendliness. They have also
shown that they no longer care to
place the negro above the white
man. The organization of a white
Republican party in this and 9th
er Southern States would no doubt
have wholesome effect on both
State AMI National politics. 1t
wouldserve to give us none but
the very best men to fill our State
Offices, and would be an eloquent
caution to National Democra-
tic Conventions that the South
need no longer be expected to
give its solid vote, to the party
