ARTESIA, New Mexico. Near here is a settlement of Negroes—a little town called “Blackdom”, consisting of farmers who have wrenched every bit of good out of our bitter soil. They are quiet, good citizens and molest nobody. They have had little chance for the cultural things of life and I believe they would welcome an opportunity to take your papers and magazines. Of course, they may already know about them. They have a little school and a church.

Deposits of the Blackdom Terrace The Blackdom terrace like the Orchard Park terrace appears to be erosional rather than constructional and the deposits associated with that surface are merely a veneer It is the opinion of the writer that the thickness of 80 feet ascribed to these deposits by Nye1 includes beds belonging to the underlying quartzose conglomerate and that the actual thickness is probably less than 20 feet The deposits of the Blackdom terrace are very similar to those of the Orchard Park though the size of the Blackdom pebbles appear to be somewhat larger on the average than those of the Orchard Park Much of the surface of the larger undissected remnants of the Blackdom surface is underlain by dense compact caliche that is quite different than the chalky caliche of the Orchard Park terrace It is white on the weathered surfaces but fresh exposures have the appearance of brown fine grained banded limestone Chalky caliche similar to that found on the Orchard Park surface is also present in the Blackdom surface where gravel beds are present at the surface The dense limestone like caliche is usually a few inches thick while the chalky type has a thickness of 3 to 4 feet .

Cape May, N.J., June 17.--Henry C. White, the last negro to sit in congress, the member from North Carolina in both the 55th and 56th congresses, is the head of a syndicate which has purchased from Senator Robert E. Hand 967 ½ acres at Buriegh, near the Pennsylvania and Reading railroads to found a negro colony from North Carolina. The name of the town is to be Whiteboro.
Each colonist is to buy a house on the installment plan and is to be given ten years to pay for it. This is to be an agricultural colony, and on the same plan as the Jewish colony at Woodbine, this county, founded by tho Baron de Hirsch fund.
