As our ron.li-rs aro aw ;ir, wo liavo tHMMi worlciti f.r tln jat tlint r fiutryt-ars ti rot a jkiss down into tin Kotsof salt iniii,' at York, says tin (J.-n-osoo D.'tii.H'fat. It so lian-!i.-,l on. ilay ri-i'i'iitl.y tliat two personal fri.'tn!s of ours ha.l lmsiiu-ss ,1. ,v n i-i tin mill.', ami. mooting Its afti-rw;inl, tliov ':ivi us a very graphic ileseript ion of Hie trip, so tniK-h so that we almo-t irnn;. iiu-.l we were with them front the I hue they left the top until they retnrne.l ".Tain. tin. I for tlu iM'tieft of our read ers we will ijive their (leserition of what they experienee l an.l what they saw. Uefi-rrinjf to the matter they sai.l: "Yon may imagine that you wniil.l like to o down that shaft, hut let us tell you that hen you oti.-e stoo.1 on the verjrv of that yawning ho e waiti:i;r for the ear to let you down, it i-. two to on' that your emirate w.n-.l.l fail you an.l you would inform the jruide that 3'u would postpone the trip until some other .lay. Si:p-r-intendtMit i'haptn was the one who went with us, and, of eoi s-. thi-re was no e-iiise for alarm. :is he Uim.w-4 the workinrsof the whole plant fr..t:i one etui to the other. Well, we ji!i:i;-d into the far and waited f. r the si.-nal to start and we did not have to wait lonr he fore tin" (ronT sounded and that was the signal to let her ,'. From that time until we reaehe I the lmttotn n i man will ever ! Iu!Jy aide to de serilH" the experience. "When the si;rn ;1 sounds, the first thin you do is to hu; your hat down on 3'our head for keeps, and ly the time that you h ive yot that act a.-e..ii-plishe.l it seems as though yon were tr..in-.lown at atKut the rate of a thou sand -miles a minute. You have seen one streak of jrea-.ed lirhtninr chase another well, it's no comparison. It M-i-iis as though the cable has lccn cut, and vim lire jir-t dropping'' .'.own to the lHittc.ru. You can't see, and the only tliinr to K heatd is that terrihie roar of the air as you rush through space. After the first two or three hundred feet there is a feerinfj it would Ik hard to explain, sort of goneness as it were, and you don't cure much whether school keeps or not, and the changes are so ditfen-nt an.l varied th.it one Ih.--pins to wonder what will come next. "When near the tottom the car on which you are riding K-lt'iiis to slow up, and then comes the most peculiar ex perience of all. You imajrino that you are sh. .tin i; upward, and you will soon Ik- am. m s t he stars. You can imagine the sensation from roitv.r down tit the rate of ahoiitone hundred miles a min ute to jjoin.'j up at ahotit seven times that rate. Finally the ear lands at the hottom of the shaft, and ym hreathe a sih of relief as you step out. "Well, the first thinr you do is to look for salt; it's there, all around you, alove, Wneath, on till sides, hut it don't look like salt near the lx.ttoin of the shaft, as lights are hunted con stantly iiii.l the smoke h:is l.lackcned the walls. You look away o the cast, through a Inn;, dark tunnel, smd Vou discern in the furlist:mi-('Mimo llicker i:i' lights "'l '" an" informed that they are lights used hy the worktrn-n who are cntf:i.el in 111111111 the salt. Your piiide st'ts up to a man near where you land an.l says: 'Three lights, please,' and three tallow candles tire handed out. It may seem a little strange that tallow candles are used in this a;,e of kerosene, g-.is an.l electrici ty, hut such is the ease, and they a.-c the ot-.lv lights used in the mine, and each man carries one, ami they arc linn? up from the ccilitif where the minint of milt is foin; on, and they are the handiest lights that can lie used. They don't purchase these l;?hts t-y the dozen or humhed, hut by the carload. The candles wont lighted, an.l with theoi in hand we followed the p-uide an.l pr.M-eeded to make a tour of the minr; we illicit add. a partial tour, f..r it would take a person sninethiii; like n w.-rk t walk all over the mined ter ritory. We followed the !".ii.le atom; through dark and winding patinvays, until w? reached a point where the workmen wen- tmsily I'lia'ed mining the salt- They were not at work with picks pirkin it out, as mi'ht te si:p hsc.I, hut were hreakin' up the larje lumps and shoveling it into the cars, the salt having lieen l.lasted out ahead of them. While some were en'a-ed in shoveling the sa'.t, others were alriilini lioles into the solid niis making ready for a I. last, machines run l.y -om-pressa-d air U-in used for this purjiosc. "As I W fore, fttata'd. tin' main tunnel runs directly east, and is nearly a half mile in length. Near th; Khaft two other tnnuels branch olT from the maiu tunnel, one on either side, an.l run par allel Willi it. These, we Ix-lieve, are ta-rm-'d airshafts. From these nhafts ro..ms hraucli oil lmth north and south, n rd in tin's.- rooms is where the salt is mined. These room .'ire nothing m-re 11. r les than short tunnels, and in time will probably hj lengthened out as far us the main tunnel or even further, as they can n m.les in any direction an.l Mill li" in the suit. The rooms are, pa-r-u.ii's, ti lic. or lltii left wide and from M-vcii t' t'i'ht feet in height. A section of salt wm' thirty feet in thickness is left . l.-tween each mom us a support to the solid mass nlove. A thii-kness of tiveirsix feet is left !we as a roof, and a substan tial r.Kf it makes, as the salt in its nat ural state in almost as hard as rH-k. There arennotlu-r supports than the columns of salt that are left. "Of these rooms mentioned there are tifty or sixty at the present time, and the wor;;m.'H are ili.t liiuti'd ulut. Working in several :.m,ius ;it a time. j There is no iteces i.yof a foremv.n i:i each room, as the iiuuiIkt of c::rlo:ds .f sait .k-livei-ed at the shaft tells the tale as t whether the nu-n are shirk ing their duty or not.. A r.iiiway runs tlimurli th" main tunnel imd bran-hes extend in :-.!l 1 it ect ions. The ears tire hauled f i' 111 1 1 c n veral r ms by lai jre, jviwerfi'.l mule.', s i.d ti.eie are M.me thirty of these in the mine. "There is a bi:i-'csmi!h"s simp in the mine where tin- tool-, an re-.aire.l s:nd the mules are shod, and then- is also a !ar;-e stable where the mules are shel tered during the n: rht. Of conrs they would h' well i-l dieted in ti e mit-e, anyway, but if :1 owed to roam alxu-.t they c. -ul-.i li:i.l nothing' to 'e::t but sait and the rain :.! trae::, and the aver::;-e mule canm-t ei t on ailiet of this l.i: d.

'Ihis is th' only eombustiblk- substtmee there is about the mine, and there are no ex Jioscd li ghts anywhere about it. Di rectly in the rear of the stables is what is known ::s the barnyard. '1 his is a lar;e i'ihiiii cut in the soli. I salt, and her.- the mules are turned out for re cuperatioii. "line may im:-L'ini- that a salt mine is a b.ul place to work, I t;t aside from the fact that it is a little dismal there are no bad features alxintit. Ftilike a coal mine, it is clean, and there is almost an even temrn-rat lire the year around. raiij.in; from lifty-ciht to sixt3' le;rees, winu-r and summer. '1 he ventilation is jK-i fect an.l the sys tem for supply in; fresh air is not ex celled by any mine in the world. In some of the passageways the air rushed throu;h with such clocity as to ex-tin;-uish the lights. "The exjuTieiice in piint tip the sl-.aft is s.m- hat diiTeiiut from that while "oiii' (imvii.
