The Lochiel Lumber Company.


Last winter the Lochiel Lumber
Company. whose headquarters, in.
Guiding offices, mills, booms, etc., are
at Bloomington, in this county,
found their immense and rapidly in
creasing business growing too cum
breus to be handled to their satisfac.
ton, and accordingly divided the
business into three departments
timber.cutting, milling and shipping.
or the first they retain individual
control, letting the other two to con
tractors, as noted below. Their op.
eratiens last winter were Immense,
and will furnish ahdnllant wcfk Tor
the contractors this season. They
cut ever 5000, 900 teet OF the SO ,0OO,-
900 feetof lumber sWnsd 6ythedl.
and were highly successful In floating
it down into the great boom, losing
only ttoo logs of inc0nsiderable value.
The work of getting out the timber
is done by six camps of men at diff
ferent points throughout the extern
siye tracts owned by them. All, as
well as the offices at Bloomington,
are under the efficient superintend.
ence of Mr. George Hauck.
The work of saving up the logs
and planning the lumber into shape
for various purposes has been let by
contract to Messrs. Arnold & Clark.
The former was for nearly three years
superintendent of the mills eff the
Lochiel Company, and is in every
way c0nversant with his business and
the Cempany's wants. Mr.. Clark
runs by contract the great planning
mills of Brown, Early & Co., at Will
Transport, Pennsylvania. He is now
at Bloomington, but will return to
Williamsport, leaving the active
charge of the Bloomington mills to
his partner. The contracting firm
are putting in new machinery and

and from 10000 to 40, 900 laths and

are shipped to Pittsburg and there
nailed together, no other work on
them being necessary. Their ma
chinery is of the most improved pat
tern, and is run by three engines
whose aggregate power is $50 horse
They employ over one hundred men
and boys.
The finished lumber is taken from

{flons room, letter was brought her.
'1t was from John Raleigh's mother,
nd it told her that her son was

he had a sunstroke last week, ana
as been delirious ever since. The

and stood as though mutely asking

This was all the white lips could
utter.
"He is sinking fast" answered the
mother. "You knew my boy ?"
For as yet she had not divined the
truth. Hhe woman her son loved
was cold, and cruel, and heartless.
Not even the knowledge that he Was
dying would bring her here. So she
had reasoned, when. with a low,
choking sob, the girl before her fell
on her knees, with outstretched, inn
ploring hands.
You said," she walled, "that he
would not live, because life was no
longer sweet to him-let me tell him
how dearly l love him, and how
cruelty l have suffered Let me ask
him to live for me !"
Then tive gentle hands lifted her
face, a kiss fell on her brow, a voice
murmured "Oh, my child! give
him back to me !" and then she found

But she interrupted him with a

"You asked me once to he your
wife," she said. II did not know my

Two hours later, with her hand
clasped in his, John Raleigh fell into
quiet sleep-a sleep which lasted
through long hours, while still she
sat m0tionless, fearing to stir; but
when the dawn broke she knew that
with it had vanished the dark night
of their unhappine,s in the dawn of
an all. possible future.

THE S2RA MERRY SUPPER.

The FIRST strawberry and ice cream
festival ever given in Ruby Camp, oc-
cured at the Presbyterian church, last
Saturday evening, under the auspices
of the ladies' society cf the church :;
and to say it was an immense success
and greatly enjoyed by our towns
people, is but giving poor expression
to the uttered sentiment of all. To
most of our hardy pioneers it was a
huge treat, for many of them had not
seen a strawberry for three and five
years and had almost forgotten what
kind of looking things" they were
but, as one old fellow SAID they "found
them real live, sure enough strawber-
rles. This being the case, many had
their orders duplicated over and over
again, which exhausted the six gallons
of berries at an early hour in the even
ing, and those who came in late had
to be satisfied with ice cream alone.
The room contained three tables tor
guests, which were under the supervi-
sion of Mrs. w. H. Graves, Miss Dora
Armistead and Miss Christopher, while
Mrs. DR.. E. c. Reid and Mrs. Hard
ing manipulated" the berries and
cream at the supply table in one corner
of the room. Miss Laura Forepaugh
had charge of a bouquet and prize
cake stand, which was quite an attrac-
ton and which brought in a neat little
sum Of money to the church. Right
here we desire to acknowledge our in
debtedness to Miss Forepaugh for
tavors during the evening. Mrs. Lacey,
as usual, had charge of the exchequer
and informs us that the receipts of the
evening footed upto nearly s74, which
is quite encouraging to the ladies.
May they repeat the strawberry
game" again soon.

Ruby Camp now boasts of a public
school and a good teacher, and no
more can parents here complain of
being deprived of educational priv
ileges for their children. The school
commenced last Monday in the Pres
byterian church tent, with 1o scholars
and Miss Christopher as teacher. We
understand lot, on Eighth street, has
been purchased and a school house
will be erected thereon in short time.
This enterprise will do more to bring
families to our camp than anything
else, and we all rejoice in our public
school.

DENVER, June II, 1887.
Dear Er-In the recent trial Of

VIM. H. Salisbury alas Canty, who
murdered Marshal Perkins in Buena
Vista last spring, was hung in Colorado
Springs, on Friday, the 18th. He made
quite long speech while on the scat
fold declaring his innocence, stating
that Dutch Bill did the shooting.
He also denied being nephew OF
Gen. B. F. Butler, but from the re-
psrts it appears that he was. He was
brother-in-law to Gen. Wardrop, a
prominent citizen Of Boston, and
Wardrop's wife was sister to Butler,
which would make him nephew to
the latter.

FRUITS OF INDUSTRY

Did you ever spend a day in the
country? By invitation of Mr.. F. F,
Woods the PILOT man was invited to
take seat in his spring wagon by the
side Of Mr.. F. w. Fuller, for a ride
to Mr.. Woods ranch, two miles east
of Crested Butte on the new toll road
leading to Gothic, right at the juno
ton of the rev road running up
Washington Gulch to the Rock Creek
country. We staid all night at Crested
Butte and on Sunday we went to the
ranch which is beautifully located,
with the old crested butte mountain
towering up heavenward several thou
sand it. on right, s1oping down to
the creek where the water comes
courslng down, dividing the green
hills as it were, with its water, as clear
and sparkling as crystal. Nature has
certainly embellished this spot as no
artists brush could initiate.
To show what industry will do we
will give little sketch of this new
enterprise. Mr.. F. F. Wood came to
this country last spring from New York
state to prospect for company. While
roaming around with other prospectors
he came through Washington Gulch,
the place that was celebrated some
fifteen years ago for its rich placer
diggings, but since then has been al
most deserted up to the past year or
two. Mr.. Wood being a practical
farmer tn ought he saw "rich lead :"
in the prairie grass growing along the
creek, left the company, came to Irwin
and induced MI. Decker, Vermonter,
and Mr.. Bryan, Of Pittsburg, Pa,
to join him and go back there and
take up ranch. All three of them
were tenderfeet, and the two latter
knew nothing whatever about farming.
They erected cabin and then COM
menced to cut hay with the old fash
ioned hand scythes. They cut and
put up over fifty tons of hay, which
they sold at 500 per ton, netting
them about $500 That gave them
start, as it will be remembered they
were without means to start on. Mr..
Woods went to Denver and purchased
an improved moving machine and
the idea of bringing that machine into
the country was hooted at by old
ranchmen, but he went right ahead,
brought in the machine, which worked
like charm, and managed to put up
over hundred ton Of hay before the
winter set in.
Last winter Messss. Wood and
Decker went out to spend the cold
season, but Mr.. Bryan remained on
the ranch, and, being a carpenter, he
built a large two-story house, also
number OF outbuildings. This
spring Mr.. Decker returned bringing
his wife and a young lady by the
name of Miss Eugene Whitman, of
North Adams, Mass. Both ladies are
highly accomplished and seem we'll
pleased with their new home. Mr..
Wood returned bringing a young man
with him by the name Of Rafferty, and
- head Of COWS fxa dairy. Mr.

Why can't we celebrate the fourth
of July here as we'll other parts Of
America? Let our citizens think over
this matter and take steps towards
making some demonstration. For in
stance, get up a picnic at the lake and
let everybody go and take lunch with
them. Then have a platform erected
for dancing, and have target shooting,
thereby pass the day very pleasantly.
Certainly, if we don't do something
here there will be attractions elsewhere
to take the people away, and we think
1t best to get up something Of our
own so that the people won't have to
60 out Of town to spend their money.
