There are $50 sluices for releasing
the water, each six and one-half feet
wide. The depth varies, some of the
sluices being only ~ feet deep, 9TH

must sustain a pressure of ten tons
of water, which is something enor-

When the idea of building a dam
was first suggested archaeologists

These old ruins are situated upon a
small island which, it was sup
posed, would be submerged when
ever the sluices were closed. Had
the original plans been carried out,
such would have been the case, no
doubt; but a number of influential

COAL MINING IN INDIA.
Operated in Simple and Improbable
Manner by the UnprOgressive
Natives.

Coal mining in India is physically
very different from coal mining in Eu-
rope. The very simplicity of it has
been a hindrance to progress. There
is no gas; the pits are all shallow;
one of 300 feet is considered quite a
deep pit, and many are entered by in
%clines, which the people much prefer,
as they can stroll in and out at their
pleasure. Consequently any man
thinks he is good enoug. to be a man
ager, and the older pits resemble rab-
bit warrens more than anything else.
Most people would consider an out
crop 80 feet thick as good as a gold
mine, yet the genius who worked a
quarry-it cannot be called a pit
where this occurred managed to tie
the place up in a knot very soon by the
simple device of putting the spoil
ahead of him instead of behind. This
want of capable managers is a crying
evil.

Soudan is gathered. With the aid of
auxiliary side dams the stored water
will be directed into different canals
which are to irrigate the soil. At the

FIGHT FOR EMPTY HONOR.
John w. Kern and b. F. ShiveIey
Want Complimentary Vote.

From the variety of expressions from the
leading Democratic members of the Gen.
eral Assembly it appears that there will
be pretty contest between John w. Kern,
of this city, and Benjamin F. Shiveley, of
South Bend, for the rather empty honor of
receiving the complimentary vote of the
minority for United States senator Many
of the Democrats have declared for both
men, each of whom has jealous friends
who will not see the claims of their man
ignored without a protest.
Senator Cyrus E. Davis, of Bloomfield,
said last night at the English Hotel that
he was not yet ready to declare himself on
this question, although he had his mind
made up. He said that he was friendly
to both Kern and Shiveley, but it is thought
that he inclines rather to the Indianapolis
man.
AS to the Craftsmanship of the minority
causus in the Senate Mr.. Davis said he had
not given the matter much thought, but
he considered ii a matter of general con-
sent that Senator w. III. O'Brien, state
chairman of the Democratic committee
would be the minority's floor leader. 1.-The
