J.O.NURXBURO. Nov. 54, ISSS. THE UNDERGROUND E1VEE. Progress of Tha Excavation to Deter mine a Natural Phenomenon in North Carolina. The recently reported discovery by the Byer Bros., of a cave or underground river on their land, near Whitaker's mountain, at Black's, attracted the attention of a parly of gentlemen who chanced to meet at Charlotte. They de- ! tennined to.investigate the matter, ! and have sunk a shaft about 50 feet. Until this morning nothing particular was noticed, except that it was perfectly dry, while 50 feet away a well 40 feet deep is so near full of water that one can dip it out by the hand from the sur face. This led to the belief that at least a hole and an abundant drain existed near where they were working. This morning the workmen pushed a bar into a crevice inside of the shaft and de tached a mass of material, open ing a small hole, from and into which the air seemed to rush, ac companied by a loud noise as ol escaping steam, and the well was soon filled with vapor. This phenomenon and the loud noise fiightened the wcrkmcn,who fled from the work. The news soon spread, and a largo number ol our citizens collected and re Daired to the scene, and a dozen or more descended the shalt and endeavored to account for or dis cover the source of the sounds, which were plainly heard on the top of the ground, but more plainly when in the well. All agree that it is the sound of running water over a shoal, perhaps 100 feet lower down, and must be a largo stream. Rocks that were taken from an old excavation still on the ground show unmistaken signs of the action of swift-moving water. The sounds now heard are unmistakably those of a con siderable underground river. It is probable that 20 feet mere of excavation will have to be made before it will be definitely known what is the nature and extent of the excavation it has created in this vicinity, and of jvhat value it ma be as a natural curi osity or point of interest. The men now working are pro tected ajrainst anv sudden fall of the bottom of the shaft or roof il the subterranean cavern. Mr. N. V. Hardin says it is to him plainly a waterfall of consid erable size, falling at least ten feet and removed two hundred feet to the north of the shaft. Ex-senator J. G. Black, Mr. Reese, Mr. Byers, J. E. Jones and others who descended the shaft, agree that the sound is that of a large stream flowing over shoals of frequent but not great fall, and that is nearly underneath the shaft and not to exceed one hundred feet away, while the' believe twenty feet at most separate, the bottom of the shaft from the roof of the cavern or underground chamber through which the water passes. The gentlemen who are bearing the expense will push the work to a finish, and we shall soon bo able to give you more definite informa tion. Special to Charleston jre?ca and Courier.

Naval Ordnance The annual report of commo dore Sicard, chief of the bureau of ordnance, to the secretary of the navy, contains the following esti mates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1889: Fuel, tools, ma terial, labor, prizes, proofs, batter ies of a new type for the two ships now in the service, general arma ment with secondary batteries and small arms, 514,150; general re pairs, 15,000; miscellaneous, $10,- 000; civil establishments at navy yards, S24,48U; torpedo stations, 70,000; towards the armament of vessels authorized, 4,077,000; and for completion of the gun plant at the Washington naw yards, G25, 000; total, S5,436,130. The high power steel cannon for the navy completed to date are two five inch, 24 six-inch, eight eight-inch, and three 10-inch. Since the last report a new design of a six-inch gun has been completed, and 32 of these guns are in course of con struction. Progress in Marine Engineering. An illustration of the progress which has characterized marine en gineering ib found in the fact that up to 1881 the greatest power put into one ocean vessel was about 8,000 indicated horse power in the case of the ships Damlolo,J)uilio, Inflexible and Admiral Duperre. I ii loal-ba the Italia and Xiepanto were being constructed, with the enormous figure, each of 18,1)00 in dicated hoise power; and now the Italian government has in progress the He Umberto- and Sicilia, and lastly the Sardegna, the engines for which, constructed by a Naples company, are to develop nearly 23,000 indicated horse power. Among the various features of note in this remarkable vessel, as described, arePfour sets of triple compound engines, two sets of en gines on each shaft, the vessel ot course being twin-screw. The working machinery also comprises eighteen return tube boilers, hav ing eacn lour lurnaces, and tnc working pressure will be 150 pounds to the square inch. The piston speed is rated at 1 ,020 feet per minute. American customs are making an impression on the most con servative sovereigns of Europe.
