dered a full supply of Pullman parlor cara
for their express and through trains. Two
Of their cars, Nos. Sc and So, have already
been brought into Ogden. They are very
handsomely finished, having a ladies' toilet
room in one end, similar to such rooms in the

The Pilot says that there is now between
the two divisions of the Northern Pacific a
gap of about $40 miles, much of which is
the most difficult country though which to
build . road, of the entire line. The N. P.
had better solve the difficulty by adopting

On one of Colonel Dunn's contracts on

Full Of years and honors, yet still in the

ARRIVAL OF BISHOP TUTTLE..
Church and Convocation Notes.

The arrival Of Bishop futile and he ope-
ming services at st. Johns church next Sunday
will constitute an event in church annals in
Butte. When the Bishop was in Helena .
handsome reception was rendered to him, and
all uni ed in honoring in his person the cause
he represented. The dedicatory services held
in st. Peters church in the capital city last
Sunday were very impressive, and the music
is said to have been particularly attractive.
1t is to be hoped that the But e parish will
vie with their brethren in Helena in Going
honor to the occasion and their distinguished
visitor. One prominent gentleman Of this
CITY, in coAversation OIL the subject, ex-
pressed his regret that at the present time he
was so circumstance a. net to be abe to
offer q reception to bishop lutte. In regard
to the memorial window, to be dosa'sd by
Mr.. w. A. Clark to the new church, it is not
thought that its elaborate decoration can be
finished much before next summer.
Bishop futile, Rev. &. o. Tillotson and
Mr.. John McI.aggan, delegates to the con-
ference from this parish, arrived from Hele-
ma night before last. The Bishop won the
esteem and affection Of the citizens of this
Territory while at the head of this Diocese,
and will DO warmly welcomed by friends in
Butte. The Bishop is now the guest of Mr..
G. H. Moore, and will remain in the city until
next Tuesday.
1t is said that the ladies Of st. Johns Epis-
copal Church will give q reception to the

SCHOOL HOUSE QUESTION.
Meeting of the Committee Yester-
day.

Messrs. James H. Harper, Daniel
Dwyer, r. G.. Knox and w. G. Lining
ton, members of the committee to whom
the trustees of school district No. l, have
referred the consideration of the present
condition of the new school building,
met yesterday morning with Mr.. Buck.
As already mentioned the trustees have
concluded to abide absolutely by the re-
port of these gentlemen, in whose judg-
ment they have perfect confidence.
MI. Julian Smith, who signed the for.
mer report, was unable to be present at
the meeting yesterday. A PROPOSE
ton submitted by Mr.. R.. G. Knox in
regard to the best means of remedying
the present unfortunate state of affairs,
seems to have met with favorable con-
sideration from those present. 1t was
to the effect that buttresses of stone
could be built within and without the
present defective walls, which would
support the brick work while the con-
demned stone work could be replaced.
In the meantime the carpenters would
be thus enabled to go ahead and finish
the interior of the building. The but
tresses were to be sunk some six or
eight feet, to a firm foundation, and
were to be built up to those portions of
| the wall between and on each side Of
the windows. Their dimensions were
to be-on the outside SO inches thick at
| the base and 10 inches at the top, and on
the inside IL inches all the way, up,
breadth inside and outside 80 inches.
The thickness of the base of the sup
porting stone wall would thus be in
creased to six feet. OF course this plan
would require some time, but it is
thought to be more feasible than any
other suggested so far, as it is doubtful
if a sufficient number of jack-screws
could be found in the country to render
practicable the entire removal Of the
stone work.

The OPIUM Question.

1t is not to be supposed for a moment that
opium smoking has entirely ceased in Butte
for the reason that arrests nave been less fire.
qnent during the past week. Three prison
e1s are now in the county Jail awaiting the
next session of the Grand Jury, to which
they were bound over by Judge O'Meara last
Saturday night. They were arrested at Mel
rose by Deputy Sheriff Lyons, and after a
preliminary examination before Judge
O'Msara we're held to all appearance before
the Grand Jury, under the laws of the Ter
litory. The most horrible feature of the
habit of opium smoking is the terrible hold
which it takes upon nearly all who have ever
INDUCED in it. 1t sthe first step which costs,
aud after that the descent of the hill OF per-
dition is too easy to be resisted.

The Pulverizer.

Impressed with the efficiency and prosper
ity OF the pulverizsr, a gentleman who has
been in Butte for some time, and who is
thoroughly acquainted with mining and mill
ing operations on the Pacific Coast, has &C.
copied the agency in Butte for w. II. How
land. AS 1t is probable that several at least
of these cheap but effective mills will be Or
dsred in the near future, may as we'll be
known that Professor Webster, at the St,
Nicholas Hstel, is authorized to supply all
orders. The practicability Of superseding
stamps with a rotary pulverizer is not ques-
toned by scientific men. In regard to An
other patent of the pulverizer, the Mining and
Scientific Press Of Nov. 9th says: at has
been admitted by many mining engineers
that the rotary mill was superior to tho old
system of stamp mills, il a suitable machine
could only be constructed for securing all
the advantages of the rotary principle; and
numerous inventors have been endeavoring
during the past lew years to devise the best
adapted and most appropriate construction
and arrangement for this purpose. In a mea-
sure several of them have succeeded, but
none of them have been sufficiently perfsctto
take the place of the stamps under all circum-
stances until the mill shown upon this page
came to the front, and this, the inventors
claim, will fulfill all the conditions"
