ing prairie, urroundeU hy eoe of th largest fcod-l- es

of the most fertile land la the state, whleh I

KOCK BOTTOM.

There U a rock bottom la tao titer, eaUntliagabout three qnartera of a mile op and down thestream. On the east bonk th rocks are aboat en

fret above low water mark, and oa the west

bank about twelve fret below the surface of Ihe

ground.immoE FACILITIES.

A good substantial bridge, two hundred andseventy-Be- e feet long, spans the Arkansas Kiver

this place, thereby giving the rainier on thewest side ot Ihe river access to th town at anytage ot water sad at all seasons of the year Th

bridge rests on stone abutments on either bank,and ou two Iron piers, which stand firmly on th

bed rock ia the river It is naturally the bestplac on the river In Ibis state for a railroad bridgeacross ih great Arkansas liner.

RAILROADS.Two railroads jave already been surveyed to

this place; one from Ihe northeast, via Eureka andAugusta, crossing the river at this rock bottom,the other from the city of Wichita to ArkansasCity, which proved to be almost an air tine, and avery favorable route. No doabt, both roads willsoon le completed.

WATKK miVII.KdK.There Is not the least doubt that here It the best

water privilege in the state or Kansas. The greatArkansas liltrr, its source In the ttoeky Moun-

tains, is supplied with water In snrnmer by themelting snoas in the mountains, by rain and Itsmany tributaries in winter The water Is alwayshighest from spring until fall, yet It has neverbeen known to overflow Its banks at this pointThere is an abundance of water during th wholeyear to run all Ihe machinery that can tw placedon the bank for several miles below.

KKARIMMTY OK A HAM.The feasibility of a dam across the river Is not

questioned, a solid rock lioltom all the way acrossto build upon, Ihe width only two hundred aadseveuty-Hv- e feet from shore to shore, a high bank

of clay and reK-- on the east side, and on Ih westside a bed of tough ctay covered with sand, ex-

tending for some ways up the river above the rock

bottom. This water prlvllene must and will short-

ly be improved. LI l'aso will be a manufacturingtown. The experiments last season In raisingcotton demonstrated thsl Ibis soil and climate aradopted to cotton growing! then why not manu-

facture It here where the corner stone and found-

ation have been naturally laidTIIKTOWN.
