'Cotton Factories
We see by the Herald-Commer-
cial that the question of building
cotton mill is being agitated in
1MB,
a
Dal-
and the paper thinks the matter
toill very shortly take a definite form.
As the Nicws had a little to say 011
the subject Sunday morning which
has awakened considerable interest
in the question among our citizens,
we tilkethe liberty to quote the follow-
ing frorrt the Herald-Commercial:
We see tlntt in Georeia and some
other Sthates in the South, cotton
mills htive been in successful opera-
tion and that new ones afe springing
iffto life.- If thcf do not p;ty, would
those already in existence, and that
have been for years still be kept up?
Would new tines be started? Why
will not cotton mills pay hete In the
South, right in the midst of the cot-
ton growing country where the raw
material is right at hand? If it pays
—anil does it pay is the sine qua
nan, with all enterprises—to send
agerits here under iali'ry to buy
cotton; prtv the freight On
it to the New England States
and there manufacture it and pay
freight on the goods back to the
south, why will it not pay here in
the south, with expenses of paid
purchasing agents and transportation
two ways saved? There is 110 better
locality for a cotton mill in Texas
than Dallas. All around us cotton
grows most prolifically and the ma-
terial for the erection of buildings
and other necessities, are right here
at hand in abundance. In north
Texas is the bulk of the population
in the State and the amount of cot-
ton goods consumed each year is
ample to keep a large mill busy six
days in each week in the year. The
main question to be considered is
that of labor. Cannot we obtain
right here in Dallas all the untrained
labor necessary and elsewhete all
the trained labor required? Then
where is the drawback ?
The remarks as to Dallas in the
above apply equally as well to Deni-
son. If cotton mills pay in Geor-
gia—and we all know they do—then
one would pay in Denison.
Harrison, nintysix feet deep, fur-
nishes 6000 gallons of water per day.
Sneedel's well, on Bryant street, in
the immediate vicinity of the former
one, and of the same depth, furnish-
es an even greater supply, and was
an overflowing well. These are
both seven inch wells. One of the
best wells yet sunk in the city is
that of the candle works, on Eighth
street. It is 16S feet deep, and its
supply is 10,000 gallons per hour.
It is a twelve-inch well. That of the
Pacific iron works, ninety-five feet
deep, furnishes 2500 gallons an hour.
At Willis, the other day. the coun-
ty attorney was eloquently holding
forth as follows: "Yes, gentlemen
of the jury, this crime-begetting cus-
tom of carrying pistols must and
shall cease." Just then, to wipe the
sweat ofl his face, he pulled a hand-
kerchief out of his hip pocket, afford-
ing the deputy sheriff the glimpse of
the silver mounted butt of a derrin-
ger.

SPECIAL LOCALS.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Artesian wells, the sinking of
which was first practiced in the prov-
ince of Artois, France, whence tliey
derive their name, find their fullest
value in the arid plains of California
and in the California cites. And as
they find their fullest value here,
here also the science of sinking them
is most rapidly being brought to its
perfection, and the natural laws re-
lating to the source and the natural
laws relating to the source (and
the supply of the water are being
most exactly ascertained. Of the
more widely celebrated artesian
wells, one at Aire, In Artois, France,
which was bored more than xoo years
ago, has since then flowed steadily,
the water rising eleven feet above the
surface at the rate of 250 gallons a
minute. A well at Lillers, Bas-de-
Calais, has flowed without the di-
minution of a gallon in the hourl
supply since it was bored in 112
or lor a period of nearly 800 years.
On February 26th, 1841, the famous
Grenelle well intheParisbasin, com-
menced in 1833, penetrated at a depth
°f 1,797 *cet t'ie arc'n '°cks
over the subterranean waters, and
in a few hours the water rose to the
surface in an immense volume and
with great violence. To check the
supply a vertical pipe was raised
many feet into the air, in which the
water rises and flows over. The water
is perfectly limpid and flows at the
rate of 500,000 gallons in twenty-
four hours. The well at Passy fur-
nishes 5,500,000 gallons per day.
A well at Bourne, England, though
but ninety-two feet deep, yields 557,-
000 gallons of pure water per day,
and the pressure is sufficient to sup-
ply the town and lorce a stream
above the highest roofs. The deepest
wells in tho United States are in St.
Louis, Louisville and Charleston.
In the lower counties of this State
they are now becoming very numer-
ous, and be ides their perfect relia-
bility in the matter of a never-failing
and equal supply, making them val-
uable for all purposes, they are
especially valuable for irrigation, in
that the water is not only limpid and
pure, but also warmer than surj
face water. Within the boundaries
of San Francisco it is calculated
that there are already no less than
200 wells. The effect that has in-
variably followed in other localities,
particularly that of London, Eng-
land, that the supply of each well in
the basin decreases in the exact pro-
portion to the increase of the number
of such wells, ha9 not been detected
here. Another great advantage of
the artesian wells of this city is the
short distance at which water i*
reached. One, which supplies the
Commercial Hotel, is only thirty-
eight test deep. Silvertone's well,
011 Sixth street, between Bryant and

Thi9 thriving new town, located tea
mi'es west of Deinsan, on the D. & P. R.
R., by its natural location, will comwand
the trade from a'arge scope of country.
At this point centers a number of the
main lines of thoroughfare from Western
and Northern Tevas and the Indian Ter-
ritory. Several of the principal ferries on
Red River lie just north and west of this
place, and the roads from each passes
jiere. It lies right enrouteof the immense
immigrant travel trom the North and
East, and this will be the first town they
strike alter traversing the long route
across the Ii dian Territory. This point
is the center of the
GREAT GRAIN GROWING SECTION
and thousands of bushels ol Wheat, Corn,
Oats, etc., will be marketed here. Just
north of town the celebrated "Preston
Bend" ot Red River, will pour into this
market thousands of bales of Cotton,
while the Indian trade from the Valley
ot the Red River, and the Washita, the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations, will be
of the greatest importance. Pottsiille
will be the nearest railroad station for
Martin Springs, Georgetown, Preston
Bend, and all paints in the Western In-
dian Territory. A stage line will be es-
tablished at once to Tishomingo and oth-
er points. The main feature of this town
will be the stock business and its attend-
ant interest. The railway company have
already built extensive stock yards, and
this will be the main station of North
Texas. At present Pottsville is the term-
inus, and stage lines connect with Whites-
boro and points in West Texas.
