Hurt Lake Saw Mill.

Early in the summer we stated in the
TRIBUNE that saw mill was expected
in few weeks to be located on the west
side of Burt Lake. The mill, however,
did not arrive until last Tuesday. The
delay was caused by Mr.. Jno. A. Parke,
the owner of the mill, not being able to
get the boiler. 1t is of peculiar con-
structiOn and was built at Pittsburg, Pa.
The shop was so far behind with their
orders that the boiler could not be got
out any earlier. 1t is made of steel and
put together in the best manner. The
mill is portable one and different from
anything in the mill line in this section.
The saw is run without belts, being at
tached directly to the main shaft. The
engine is guaranteed to make 700 revo-
lutiOns per minute, the ordinary speed
being 600 revolutions. The capacity of
the mill is 10000 feet of lumber per day
and the carriage is arranged so as to
saw long or short logs; the mill being
capable of saving timber any length up
to 60 feet. The mill is provided with
two saws, the main saw being 60 inches
in diameter and the top saw 30 inches.
The mill will be great convenience to
the settlers in that section and will be
the means of advancing the improve
ment of that rapidly growing section of
our county. Mr.. Parke intends some
time in the future locating the mill
along the line of the railroad, but at
present, thinks he will have all he can
do where he now proposes to set it up.
The tug Clifford took it up on lighter
Wednesday. Mr.. Parke expects to have
it in operation inside of three weeke.
The mill has an indicator attached
which will show just how much lumber
is sawed every day.

A Busy Institution.

Smith q Adams have their dry kiln
unping. They run in the first lumber
uesday evening. The heat is produc-
ii from the exhaust steam from the
flaming mill and it is surprising the
amount of heat that is derived from that
source. Tuesday afternoon they let
down the draw at the north end of the
kiln, leaving the south end open and In
five minutes time the thermometer inside
of the kiln run up from 60o to 1909
After they get the kiln in full operation
they will be able to take out 1000 or 5000
feet of thoroughly seasoned lumber every
day. The planning mill was started up
July 18th, since which time over 100000
feet of lumber has been run through and
manufactured. They have force Of 20
men employed at present and next sea-
son expect to largely increase the num-
ber. They are getting out the window
and door Methodist church at
st. Ignace. The frame for the front
window of the church is to be double
affair and will be IL feet wide by II feet
inches in height, so large that they can
not put it together in the mill, as there
Is no opening large enough for it to pass
through. From plans of the church we
should judge it was going to be neat
edifice. The main building will be BOX
80 feet with vestibule on one corner 10
feet 4 inches square with spire 66 feet
to the top. Messrs Smith & Adams have
done and are doing a large amount of
work for the railroad company, and their
full force is kept busy and their machin-
cry running to its full capacity.

stolen Horse Recovered.

W. G. Hayes has recovered the horse
stolen from him last week. Sunday
morning he with another man started
early in buggy to look for him. They
drOye down south of Black lake near
Rainy river and just as it was growing
dusk they saw large buck. Mr.. Hayes
had his rifle along and concluded to
take shot, the first shot wounded the
animal and he snOrted and showed fight.
Mr.. Hayes put in another shell and fired
and the buck turned and started for the
woods. By this time it was near dark
and they concluded to wait for morning
to look for the deer, satisfied that he was
mOrtally wounded and would not be able
to get far away. They drove to lum-
ber camp and put up for the night.
About midnight they heard horse
tramping around and got up and went
out. They found the stolen horse, which
seemed to be nearly famished. He had
ripped open bag of oats they had taken
along and was enjoying a feast. The
inhuman brute that stole the horse had
ridden him without a bride, twisting
the rope halter around the lower jaw of
the animal. When he left him he never
took the rope out of the mouth, but let
the end drag. The horse had stepped on
the end and the rope had nearly cut his
tongue out. The next morning they
took search for the deer and found him
a few rods from where he was when
shot. The first shot had passed through
his liver and the second went through
the point of the heart. Mr. Hayes thinks
he has some track of the horse thief and
is working the matter up.

Humanity never appears to less advan-
tage than when subjected to the influence
of panic, and there has never been u
better illustration of this fact than was
furnished last Sunday evening in the
Methodist Church of Bradford, Pa. The
Genesee Conference was in session, and
the building was crowded almost to suffo-
cation. A woman tainted, some fool
screamed that the galleries were giving
way, another that the church was on fire,
and instantly decorous and devOut as
semblage was transformed into a bowling
mob. Many persons, no doubt, in the ter
ror of the moment did not forget what
they owed to those under their protection
but the impression conveyed to persons
on the platform was that every individual
in the audience was determined to get his
own precious carcass out of the building
at the earliest possible moment, and to
trample under foot as many men, women
and children as might be hindranoe to
accomplish that purpose. Many persons
were badly injured; but such is the elias
tieity Of the human body, no one was
killed.
