Dawson, .March 27.—Our “city
fathers,” ss it were, have removed
lire derrick from Utc artesian well,
utid are erecting, building *r rattier
digging a round cistern about, fif
teen feet square. It is in the form
j of a cone, willt the base at the top
! and the obtuse vertex or apex at
; tbu bottom. It is about us long as
! ils deep, and us broad us its wide,
! —wore so if any difference. They
are digging downward and throw-
1 ing the dirt upward which is an
improvement on the old style.
They are using the dirt lo fill up
holes and slushes in the streets.
When they need more dirt for the
same purpose they can dig another
cistern. A cistern is agood.thing
in its place. This one is certainly
in the right place, being only a few
feet from the artesian well, so that
if the well begins to fail it can be
supplied from the cistern; and if
vim uersa, why then vim versa.
This cistern will be supposed to
contain a given number of gallons
j of water, from 100 to 200 wiggle
tails, slid that these interesting
wigglis will make as many mus-
quitos. These pestiferous insects,
especially the females, will depos.t
upon the water’s surface 250 eggs
each, and then out and away over
the citv to disturb the innocent
slumbers of our honest citizens.
These eggs, in a lew days, will
natch out other wiggle lai's, and
these make more mosquitoes, and
thus the good work of multiplying
and replenishing will go on ml in
finitum, or words lo that effect.
1 have ordered five hundred inus-
quito bars and would suggest that
my friende come eirlv and secure
one be f orc they arc all gone.
The guano trade has been greater
in Ibis section this season than any
previous one. There have been
2,074 tons sold in our city, and the
