I thank you for your attention, and I bid yon good-night." LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR R. H. SNYDER was the next speaker.

lie said that no argument waa needed to crge the peopie of the Fourteenth ward to follow the banner tf true Democracy. In thee daye public questions an political questions cannot be discussed without meetlug criticisms and misrepresentations. lie did. not particularly care whether what he said waa erf totaled, because he always tried to talk fairly, aqnarely and impartially. One of the Jacksonlan speakers has asked: "'What baa the lieutenant governor to do with city polities? Let Elm stay in Tensaa, where he belong." Governor Snyder said be was born in this atate; ali his friends live In Louisiana; his dead are burled here; all bla likes and affections are In Louisiana, and as a Louiaianiaa he has a right to appear In poiitW in the city.

True. Democracy cannot be analined. It La too greet to be added on to or taken from. Such, a course will, destroy the true meaning of Democracy, In order to have good government, there must be organisation, some power above to which the individual is responsible. The Democratic party haa organisation and a history.

Their meeting the otther night at the head of Canal street, wider the very shadow of Che tnonameat erected to the memory of the herole dead of the 16th of September. 1S74. was a desecration of the spirit; desecration of the holy cause, and of the party for wSiich the young heroes gave their blood.

Of Colonel Boatner, I have nothing bnt good worda to say. He la, a man of brave and generous Impulse, and tries to be on the right side. Before this campaign is over I hope I will se him come back within the folds of the Democratic party.

The senator quoted from a speech delivered by Colonel Boatner In March, 1896. In which Boatner praised Nlcholls and Foster, and said that he had, learned hia Democracy from Governor D. McEnery; and further that a man who left the Democratic party because be didn't like a certain candidate or nominee waa no better than a "rat." The regulars of this city hare no candidate for governor, nor for senator. Every Democrat candidate for governor or for senator or any place on the atate ticket has an equal chance, and there will be an honest, fair and Impartial selection of candidates for a Democratic state nominating convention. But the Jacksoniaas are hoping to be victorious in this city, so as to go to the country with that victory and organize a new party throughout the state.

The Democratic party Is In danger, and it shoud not be sacrificed to satisfy the ambition of any one man. HON. J. WARD GURLEY waa received with applause. He said that this la a political question and a political fight, aa well as a municipal and a business one.

It is, necessary that Democratic principles should prevail in the municipal council, aa well as In the state capltol and In the halls of congress. The men whom you will send to the city infll must declare their unfaltering allegiance to the doctrines of the Democratic party. The Jaeksonlans do nothing of the kind. Our platform believea in equal justice to all; it opposes trusts and corporations. The Jaeksonlans are silent aa these points.

Why? Because they are la favor of trusts and corporations, aad want to turn over all public works to trusts and corporations. Alluding to the campaign in the Fourteenth ward. In which he waa defeated by Hon. Samuel L. Gllmore for the presidency of the Fourteenth Ward Central Democratic Club, Mr.

Gurley aald that the people voted for true Democrats when they voted for Mr. Gllmore and for him. SENATOR H. CAGW said he waa naked why, as senator on the Citizens' League, Is now advising all of his friends to support the Democratic ticket. His answer is: In liftW he supported the CltUens Lagne ticket and waa a candidate upon it because there was a widespread belief that a fair deal could not be had in the primaries.

Wuen he was elected end sent to the senate, he found, to hia horror, that a large number of the Citizens' League nominees were allgued against the Democratic party. He then and there determined that never more would he lend hia support to any nondescript party banded together for whatever purpose, some ox the very men with the Jackaonlana today are avowed Republicans; some of the candidates are avowed Republicans, and some of the men in their councils were once Identified with the Citizens' League. Therefore he could and would not have anything to do with the Jaeksonlans. Comparing the two tickets yon will find that the' regular ticket la the best of the two, and will give the people the safest and the best government. Therefore, the peopie of this dry saouM stand by that ticket.

The Jaeksomaas dldVnot go Into the primaries because they were not Democrats, ana tney knew tney wouia nave neen Deaten. BOX 8AMUEL L. G1LMORB stepped forward and ssld a few words. Mr. Gilmore reiterated the advice he had given the voters of the Tenth wsrd, that it is only within the tines of the Democratic party can true happiness come to the people.

If the people have good men, as mayor. city attorney, city engineer, district at torney, and a majority of the council. tney nave tne essence ox good government. Ia the ranks of the Uemocratic party you can find these men. Mr.

uumore spoke or Mr. cacaeneue. the nominee for mayor, aa a gentleman of ability and of purest and loftiest as pirations. He next reviewed the rest of the ticket and aald that it waa good and honest all through. The speaker alluded to his naving gone Into the Citizens' League movement in and.

like Mr. Cage, he deprecated and opposed tne coaspiracy tnax waa formed againat the Democratic party. He went into the movement for the people's aake. Now, there Is no necessity for an Independent movement. The conditions in lfSXJ and in lbVO cannot be com Dared.

In conclusion. Mr. Gllmore said that In this country the people govern, and It la their right to participate in all matters political, Beginning witn tne nomination of candidates. The Democratic party is the party of right, and is the vigilant sentinel that stands on the hilltop and warns of -the dangers that threaten the people. Mr.

Gllmore made a mere allusion to criticisms that were made againat him and said that he paid no attention to them because he knew and felt he was right. Leave it to time. "Actions speak louder than words." Chairman Wilson thanked the peopie for their kind sttentdon and declared the meeting adjourned. MR. SEWMAS'S KIOWLEDGE Of the Flaautetal AblUtr of Mr.

Capde-vlelle. A recent bit of campaign capital, which one of the Jacksonlan orators sprung In the course of an address, wss an Im putation againat the executive ability and business capacity of Hon. Paul Capde-vlelle. The distinguished standard-bearer of the regular Democracy of thla municipal campaign was righteously Indignant at such a groundless assertion, and in the coarse of his speeches at the Carrollton and the Twelfth, ward meetings proved up conclualvely by. the most Infallible kind of proof that there waa no foundation In fact what his assailant had stated, allowing that the assertion was on a parity with the other slanders that had been circulated for the purpose of affecting the popularity, of the regular Democratic nominee for mayor.

In the course of those speeches Mr- CapderleUe also took occasion to resent the insidious attempt that party had mads' te give more' Weight to hia assertion by pretending that be is personal friend of Mr. CapdevleUe'a. In the business community here Mr. Isidore Newman stands without a peer for probity and sagacity, and his wonder ful success la Ufa is proof positive of his ability to recognize the ability of others in the conduct and management of affaire of importance. la the eodrse-of conver sation with a representative oX the Pica yune, last afternoon, xsewman spoke as follows: "I have large holding in the Insurance company oX which Mr.

Jifitor New aOrIean Jear SirThe Inclosed Is paper on Louisiana Rock Bait, read byftne TOderalgned -be fore the American Institute of Mining Englneera at its annual meeting Just closed in California, being part of Its yearly "trsnsactlons." As this prsctically Is tlhe only up-to-date paper published on the subject before a technical body, and owing to the extended recent developments of the Louisiana rock salt resources.

It naa been suggeated that its publication In a leading Louisiana paper may be Of interest to the state and Its citizens, especially owing to the fact that Louisiana salt bids fair to become a very important item In supplying the enormous demand in the United States wltb this anost Important of all minerals, and also owing to the fact, that thla la the leading mineral resource of Louisiana. Therefore, the author begs leave to contribute his quota to your consideration. A. F. LUCAS, Mining Engineer.

The rock salt deposit of Petite Anse, In Louisiana, has been known for many years. A description of it, with an account of the method pursued In Its exploitation, was contributed In 1S88 to the Transactions of the Institute by Mr. Richard A. Pomeroy. But this locality does not by any means comprise the whole of the resources of the state In rock salt.

A few months ago the writer published a general account of all the Louisiana localities now known, together with particulars concerning their technical aad commercial development. In view of the fact that active enterprises In this line have increased in number, and promise to constitute an Important, if not controlling factor in the supply of salt for the immense demand of the United States (including, as it does, the consumption of this mineral as a raw material In chemical manufactures), the present paper has been prepared. While It necessarily contains much of the substance of the article above mentioned. It la accompanied with illustrations and details not heretofore published. Moreover, the former article la out of print, the publishers having no coplea left of the number of their journal in whidh it appeared, and the writer is therefore warranted In the belief chat a paper placing the essential facts on record In a form more permanently accessible to mining engineers will be acceptable to the members of the Institute.

TUB DEPOSITS. Up to the present time four deposits of rock salt have been discovered In Louisiana, occupying a series of so-called situated tn a northwest and southeast line on the gulf coast. Beginning on the northwest, they are: First Jefferson island, about 800 acres in extent (though more than 8000 seres of surrounding land belong to the prop- -SecondPetlte Ansa i (1800 acres), six miles tn an air-line southeast of Jefferson. Third 43rand Cote (about 8000 acres), seven miles southeast from Petite Anse. Fourth Cote Blanche (about 2000 acres), ten miles southesst from Grand Cote.

(No exploratlona have been made on tbis island.) i Fifth Belle Iaie (800 acres, with highland and marsh pastures, making an aggregate area of about 8000 acres), fifty miles from Cote Blanche. Thla Island Is bounded by Atchafalaya bay and two large tributaries thereof, known as Wsx and Doctor bayous. It Is really the only one of the list which can be serious' considered aa an. Island. The othera are divided from the maritgr mainland by bayous only a few feet wide, and spanned by bridges of Insignificant lengtn.

Just before reaching the salt, a crust of conglomerate, or "hard is encountered, wnicn is sometimes so hard as to offer considerable resistance to the tools In- some Instances gravel was found, which resisted the descent of the stand Sipe, and compelled the operator to re-uce the diameter of the bore hole.

METHODS AND RESULTS OF EXPLO-. RATION AND EXPLOITATION. Contrary to logical order, the exnlolta- Louisiana rockaait ttreceded systematic exploration. It was assumed at feme Anse mat tne deposit was a hOTisontal bed; and the shaft sunk by the first operators (indeed, the only shaft ever successfully sunk at Petite Anse) wsb unfortunately located in a basin surrounded by hills, and receiving the drainage a considerable area. This snail was carried slxtr feet into the salt, and stopping was then done to the height of thirty-five or forty feet, leaving too thin a mass of the salt for a rooc.

It was soon found that cracks existed In this roof, through which the percolation 01 suriace water, cuttma- the salt tike a knife, and also carrying with It large amounts of sand, caused serious expense and trouble. In fact, besides these items of labor and cost, immense cavlngs, from which the mine never recovered, were due to this cause. Duriar the writer'a administration of tbis mine, numerous attempts were msde to prevent or retard this csvlng such im construction oz mattresses 01 timber and brush, leaves, bsgging, etc, which proved only temporarily effective. It became necessary at last to check the destructive caving by building a series of cribbings snd shelves, and filling up fir auuiuiruis Willi well IfXli OX 81UU. When a spring or water coarse was definitely apparent, it waa led out of narm way in troughs.

At the same time, rank grasses were planted on the surface. In the hope thst their roots would hold the oil together.

sn account of the processes and results of exploration employed will be in order. Methods of Exploration The explorations on Jefferson island were conducted by the so-called "jetting" system. A 6-Inch pipe waa forced down with a pile driver as far as It would go; then the tivuuu oeiow, tne axis or the pipe, was pierced with a jet from a 2-inch pipe; then the lining waa "telescoped" vriin a -mcn pipe, driven through and beyond the 6-Inch pipe; and this process was repeated, reducing tho lMnr nirwa to 2.5-lnch diameter, and so on, until the salt waa reached. This method proved slow and exnensrre. and tnniri special uncertainties, by reason of the impossibility of knowing exactly at what depth, the salt would be encountered.

xn some instances, ror example, tha writer found the surface of the salt bed tO dlD nearly ISO feet In ltatania af 600 feet from a point where It had been suremqy rcacncd py Doting, in fact, this mm, ivnuuiia aim not ue undisturbed stratification, like, those of old New York and Kansas, but seems to .7. snd contorted while ntUI'ln plsatlC' condition a history, of which the evidences a til I remain in-thai marks on the walls of the excavated chambers, comparable to the "graining" of quartered oak. walnut or mahogany. au ciiunui oeiie- iaie and tirand Cote, the deposit wss sounded by a more effective and economical method of sinking through drift sand. A 4 or 6-lnch pipe, with a simple cotter (made by ''ragging" the edge of a sleeve) at the lower end, is driven downward with a constantly revolving motion, while water is forced through it by means of a "circulating pump," connected by hose with aj'wet awlvel" at the top of the pipe.

When It Is necessary to add a new length of pipe, the length slready In place Is rcsi. on uw -ssip tongues against the sleeves, and (care being taken to make sore that the connectinaa involve are In proper condition and clean) the swivel Is quickly unscrewed from the standing pipe, and a new length, already poroTided at Its top with, a swivel and hose connection to the namn. is screwed In: after which the pump, which has been slacked for a moment, resumes its normal work.

When jthe ahaft has reached a depth of, say, 230 Xeet or more below the anex of the denoait.

atatlona are opened, and an undercut 7 feet high. xace 01 ieet, is commenced, when this has advanced, say, 200 or 300 feet, the roof la attacked and blasted down to the height of about 20 feet. After the removal of the salt thus won. there remains a chamber, say. 7S feet Wide by 200 feet lanr and 'Jit ft hian In Which the roof Is again broken down to the final helrht of 7l rt in th n.

A battery of holes, 10 tfeet deep. Is drilled near the brow of the chamber and along Its whole j' cnargeo witn low explosives.

The ladders snd machines are then re uovea ana tne salt blasted down. on the I Dtle Of this materlaL naw Is erected and the operation of drilling and blasting is repeated, until tne da- sired height of roof is rescued. Loose blocks or chips are carefully removed from the final roof, so as to leave a safely solid mass; and the chamber is then abandoned. Urerr anh rhamhar 200 feet long by 75 feet wide and 65 feet in average neignt. yields about OO.OW tona of salt, mined without the use of a single stick of timbering.

Pillars 60 feet square are left between chambers. Whenever a given level sttau nave been worked out on this plan, it will only be necessary to sink the anazt another hundred feet and repeat ths operations described. It need scarcely be said that these great vaulted chambers, with their piers snd arches of pure crystalline salt, pre sent, especially wnen acintiiiating unoer the strong illumination of a calcium or electric light, a moat Impressive appear. ance, not paralleled by underground views in ordinary mines. Xuey mirht easily be fancied to nave been the subterranean resi dence! of the mastodons, the bones of which are so frequently found ia overlying drift.

The first undercut of sslt Is well shattered by blaaUng, snd goes to the mill to be ground fine. The first and second roof-blasting furnish pieces of solid rock, which are aet aside nnder sheds, to be aerated or weathered before being shlp- fed for "cattle" purposes.

COMMERCIAL ENTEBPRISES, PBES- ENI AND PBOSPKCnVBJ. Two comnsnles are now engaged In erecting plants for the mining and mar keting of salt. j.

One of these is the Gulf Company, operating on Belle Isle, and composed of capitalists in uaicago ana tne nortnwest. Its plant Is well sdvanced, and. having been executed with the aid of ample means, embodies, both above and under ground, the best arrangements and devices that can be adopted by a skillful and far-sighted management for the pro duction and handling or a large tonnage. A spsclous canal has been cut, through which large steamboats can come directly to the great warehouse, so that steamers and barges can be mechanically loaded. Aa the main ahaft la only 60O feet from the warehouse, the facilities for cheaply handling a large output are evidently complete.

The snart, 1 wnicn nas taree compartments. Is now 400 feet deep, or 805 feet In solid and pure rock salt; and the hoisting machinery is of adequately large capacity. The mill Is nearly finished, as is likewise a large evaporating plant, to be used in enabling the company (aided bv its nroximltv to New Orleans! to compete with imported ersporsted sslt. The plant comprises also a narrei factory, saw mill, large electric plant, barges, and a number of steamboats, one of which Is larger than any on the Mississippi. The other company referred to ta erecting a large new plant on Petite Anse.

In order to complete a commercial enterprise, this company will have to build about five miles of railroad across the marshes, to Loaiss, the present terminal of the Cypremont branch of the Southern Pacific system. Jefferson Island is not nnder active development- Mr.

Jefferson haa decided to leave the property, for the present, aa it la. Of sll these deposits. Belle Isle is by far the best located, geographically, being adjacent to deep water transportations and undoubtedly It will command not only the gulf coast trade, bat may become serious competitor on the Atlantic wast ss welL Belle Isle is located thirty miles from Morgan City, on the Southern Pacific Railway. and about fifty miles from Indian Tillage, on the Texaa Pacific Ball way, two strong competing- lines.
