ported by the French consul at
Mongtze, in upper Tonkin. 1t lies In
wood mines. The wood originally was
a pine forest, which the earth swal-
lowed in some cataclysm. They lie
in slanting direction and in sandy
soil. which covers them to depth OF
about eight yards. AS the top
branches are well preserved, 1t is
thought the geological convulsion
which buried them cannot be of very
great antiquity The wood furnished
by these timber mines is imperish-
able and the Chinese buy 1t for collins.

The dipper dredge at work on the
upper part of Hopson bayou main drain
has made fine progress during the sum-
mer, and is now on the Parks place,
southeast of Clarksdale, having cut out
the upper three and one-half miles of
the main drain. The highland dredge,
which began at the outlet of the drain
age system, six miles below Clarksdale,
has cut back through the railroad into
Hopson bayou and has dredged out this
channel for half mile. 1t is now prac-
tically ready to turn north on the section
line to meet the dipper dredge coming
south. The two dredges, barring acct
dent, will then make fair speed, and
since they are but little less than three
miles apart, it seems highly probable
that by Dec. 1 the eight miles of main
drainage canal will be finished in its
entire length.
