A letter to the editor argues Lake Michigan could power Illinois via a large flame along river bluffs and a long flume or ditch. It suggests irrigation, ice supply in winter, fish production, and home markets for crops, extending to other rivers if headwaters exist. The writer seeks investment and support to investigate and develop this vast project.

From a Subscriptions Sketch of a Coal Shaft Project
A western editor recounts a town fundraising tale for an experimental coal shaft. He encounters various archetypes from the town including the spendthrift, the miser, the fatalist, the booster, and the skeptic, illustrating motives for or against contributing. The fund succeeds, the shaft is sunk, coal is found, and the town prospers with railroads, population growth, and renewed institutions.
