Our resources are sufficient to warrant

have greater number of those vast

Many OF our readers, in this city

that last Saturday James Berry, OF
Galloway county, who went to the
Black Hills last spring, made his ap
pearance in this city and exchanged
about ten thousand dollars in $50 gold
pieces for greeDbacks, claiming to
have realized that amount within the
past few weeks 10y "a rich strike in the
mines. He sold $1,000 of the gold TO
the Southern Bank, 50 900 to the Saw

Gals of the OK press company claiming
to have positive proof that Berry is one
OF the robbers. So positive is the ill.,
formation, that large reward is offered
for his apprehension, and the most en-
ergetic measures have been instituted
for his capture. Two of the robbers
have been killed, and their Ill gotten
spoils (sl9,000) ~recovered; another Is
within the coils of the law, II the re.
manning three men, charged with com-
plicity in the crime, are spotted and
will be relentlessly pursued to the bit
ter end. The publication OF these
facts, together with the advertisement
offering a reward for the arrest of
Berry, puts in tangible shape the
many rumors and surmises which
have been rife in this city inject the sus

eagles for greenbacks, and took bis de-
parture Tor the shady precincts where
the woodbine twineth.' The same
paper also contains the advertisement
of the express company, Offering a re-

The advertisement says:
Berry was one of the party who
robbed the Union Pacific Railroad at
Big Springs, Nebraska, on september

about lS5 or 1870 pounds; has yellowish

We clip the following description of
a patent recently granted our fellow
town>man. DR.. J. Il. n. owen, from the
Mining and Scientific Press:
This is an elongated p~rojectile for
smooth-bore cannon, and is designated
the Feather Bolt shot or shell. The
improvement is in the construction of
the p~rojectile itself, by which is Sc
cured al accurat and steady fight
throughout its range, when fired from
smooth bore guns; and the certain
maintenance of its long axis in a Do
Sition tangental to the line of trajectory
at all points OF its flight, without the
usual spinning motion of a rifle pro
~jeclile. 1t relates also to certain tit
tings essential in adapting the shot to
the conditions and requirements to
which il is subjected within the bore
of the gun. and while being driven by
the expanding powder gasses, but
which are stripped from it when be-
yond the influence of the latter. The
projectile may be made solid or hoi-
low, and should he made of the best
oil-tempered steel. Upon the basis of
an assumption which contravenes the
generally accepted theory upon the
subject, but which is. the inventor
claims, nevertheless, positively sus-
tanned by experiment, and by many
we'll known facts, that the powder
gasses continue to exert a very impor
tant influence upon the ~projectile even
for some distance beyond the muzzie
of the gun, in determining the veloci
ty and range. The Feather Bolt is
provided with a strong metallic shoe
or sabot made Of tough wrought iron.
This is a thick, circular disk with a
counter-sink in the center to receive
the point of the shot. IL is claimed
that this projectile will deliver its blow
end on and in the line of trajectory,
whether fired at high or low elevation,
or at long or short range. This would
remove all objections to the use of the
much desired percussion fuse"

On the Track.

Yesterday afternoon, as the ore train
was coming down the grade the en-.
gineer observed a child playing on the
track about a hundred yards in adj
vance of the locomotive. The little
darling was engaged in making mud
pies, and was unconscious of the terri
BILE fate that awaited it. Right here
comes i'm the chance to do some fine
writing, all about the heroic engineer
who, in emulation ofhis Eastern breth
rem. ride glowing reports of similar
occurrences on roads east of the Rocky
Mountains, crawled out on the pilot
and snatched the loved one from the
Jaws of death at the risk Of his life and
at the cost of a broken limb. This On
gineer acted a little different from the
usual habits OF those heroes. He just
whistled down brakes, stopped the
cars fifty yards from the child, and
cussed a blue streak, his profanity call
ing the attention of the mother TO the
situation of her offspring. That lady
hurrying to the spot, instead of smoth-
ering her boy with caresses, and faint
ing away over its narrow escape. just
spanked the innocent angel until it,
bowls drowned the profanity OF the
nan in the cab, 1t was a very com
mon place occurrence, and not up tC
the usual mark OF railroad episodes.

THE HOWELL IN
An Improvement I'm Rotary Fur
naeeS.

We find the following interesting de-
scription of an improved rotary roast
ing furnace in a late issue Of the Tus-
carors Times:
THE revolving cylinder furnaces
Just started in the Grand Prize mill,
and which are now working so sue
cessfully, were invented and patented
by John Howell, of Benton, Mono
county, California, and are known as
the Howell Cylinder Rotary Furnaces.
The inventor is an experienced mill
man, skilled in mechanism, and his
furnace is the result of the experience
and close study of moro than ffj cen
years, during which time he has been
constantly engaged in the milling bust
ness in California and Nevada. The
principal objection TO the rotary fur
naces heretofore used was the difficult
ty exporter ced in retaining the pulp in
the upper portion OF the cylinder a
sufficient time for it to desulphurate
and oXydiZa previous to its reaching
the lower end, where the greatest heat
u concentrated, and where the chlori-
tlLiuE DIOttNN tdhcN ifidtt. liiS uitil-
Guilty is entirely overcome by Mr..
Howell's invention. 1t is effected by
a number of spires, or screw con
veys, on the inside surface of the
furnace, which make a quarter of
a turn in fifteen feet. These are for the
purpose of drawing the ore rapidly or
slowly towards the fire at the lower or
discharge end, as the nature of the
pulp may require, differing materially
in this respect from the White fur
mace, the conveyers of which consist
of a number of grooves running longi.
tudinally inside the cylinder, invoiv-
ing the difficulty of the too rapid tran
sit of the ore to the lower end before il
has time to desulphnrate and oXydize
in the lesser heat above. The cylin
der of the Howell furnace is a feet in
length; 80 inches in diameter At the
lower end and 80 at the upper end.
The reduction takes place ut a jog eight
feet from the lower end. This portion
is lined with fire brick, hut the bal
ancs has no lining of any kind. In
addition to the main fire at the lower
end there is a small or auxiliary fire
at the upper end of the furnace for the
purpose of roasting such dust or
light particles of ore as MAJ escape
through the draft from the cylinder
\ before being thoroughly roasted.
These particles, after passing through
the upper fire, are deposited in dust
chambers made for the purpose, effect
uaily preventing any waste by the es
cape of ore through the smoke-stack.
The cylinder has an inclination o.
seven inches in "a feet. and ~revolves
ordinarily at the rate of sever
times per minute, although It's
speed can be regulated TO meel
the requirements of the differ
ent characters of ore being worked. A
the speed and inclination above men
toned. the ore is kept in the furnac,
from forty-three to fifty minutes. The
desulphurizing and oxydiZing of the
base metals take place in the first eigh
feet from the upper end, and the chlor
odizing of the silver between that poin
and the discharge. The ore is con
