From Prof. Foss, the rustling superintend-
ent of the Mining s. Smelling company, who
was in Benton q few days the past week, we
learn the following items of interest:
Next week Mr.. Foss expects to start the
blast furnace again, converting into bullion
all the roasted ore on hand, about 200 ton.
AT the close of the run they will also put
through a lot of carbonate ore which they
have or hand and which can be. smelted with
out undergoing the preparatory process OF
roasting. The works will then be shut down
until July in order to put in additional fur-
naces and increase the capacity of the works

Mounted Police Matters.

Mr.. G. E. Conrad informs us that the
Mounted Police at Fort Walsh will be re-
me we'd at once to Fort Mcleod and the for
mer post deserted. AS Mcleod is located on
an island anu liable to be washed out, 1t Is
probable that during the present summer the
post will be removed to a more favorable To-
cation thirty or thirty five miles distant, and
new buildings of a more substantial sort
erected. The principal headquarters for The
mounted police, however, will be a new post
to be established about 100 miles north OF
east from Cypress on the line of the Cana
dian Pacific road. This post will be built In
a substantial manner, and will be far SUI
perior to all others in the Northwest Terri
tory. Two hundred policeman are now en-
route to this point via Winnipeg.

Francis Fall.

Governor Potts recently pardoned Francis
Cassidy, sentenced last fall in the Benton
district court to the penitentiary for one
year, on the simple condition that he would
abstain from strong drink. But Francis felt
so good over his release, that before he left
Deer Lodge, and while the prison walls were
still in sight, he celebrated the joyous event
by getting ''drunker'n a billed owl" The Gov
ernor, being Informed of the fact, ordered
that Mr.. Cassidy be arrested and incarcerated
again to serve out the rest of hispterm, and
it was so done. Francis will have six
months to reflect on the folly of his course.

tainment is hOnOred with in Canton. II
will be concert of bell-ringing, by the
Royal Hand-Bell Ringers, of England
who have met with OvatiOns wherever
they have given exhibitions of their
skill in rendering difficult musical Sc
lectiOns with bells. The following
criticism is taken from the New York
Herald, of December Sd, 1880: "Thls
excellent company of campanOlOgists,
five in number, were welcomed by a
large audience. The programme was a
varied one, consisting of pieces grave
and gay sacred and secular, all being
rendered with that skill which the com
pany is well known to possess. An
imitation of the village bells and chimes,
with psalms, chants, and hymn tunes
introduced, was a very beautiful eX-
ample of the sweet music which peal
of eight bells may under proper hands
ring forth. English, Welsh, Scotch and
Irish airs were most faithfully repro
duced, the rapid movements which were
witnessed in the playing of Rory
O'Moore' being really astonishing. The
rendering of a selection from that
sparkling opera, Les Cloches de Corne-
ville,' entailing the manipulation of
seVenty-five bells, called forth loud ap-
plause. As a most pleasant relief for
their physical exertion, the company in
trOduced tie singing of several glees of
a humorous order, which were prOvative
of much amusement. The whole enter
tainment was of such first-class char
acter that each feat on the bells was
most heartily applauded by the audi
ence."

MORGAN, WILLIAMS 8 co.
Their Extensive Hammer Works .at Ali
ance, Ohio.

1 1helr EAtenSiVe Hammer Works AT ALI
ance, Ohio.
The other day, while in Alliance on
| business, we found time to visit the
far-famed hammer works of that place,
Morgan, Williams u Co., prOprietOrs.
| IneSe works were commenced on small
| scale eleven years ago, by Marchand &
Morgan, the present firm taking charge
nVe years ago. They now employ 230
hands, and have a monthly pay roll of
| from eight to ten Thousand dollars.
These works make heavy rolling mill
machinery, obtaining orders from all
parts OF the United States. The castings
are immense affairs, weighing as much
as thirty tons. No establishment west
or Philadelphia makes castings as large.
One of their jobs now is pair of shears;
weight OF main casting 10 to Is tons.
These gulllOtine shear knives will cut
through cold steel plate 100 inches
long and IL inches thick at one stroke.
The strain on the jaw of the casting in
this operation is over a million pounds.
Ot course such machine costs several
thousand dollars. For some time these
works have been run day and night. In
these works is planer, the largest in
America, having plane of ten feet
square. Its weight is TO to 20 tons. In
their large new building just completed,
Is being erected movable crane of i'm
mense power, by means of which these
large castings may be moved and placed
in position. The works are heated by
hot air. We were shown every courtesy
by MIR. Morgan, the Oldest of the sons,
whom we found engaged on the import
ant work of drafting. The next step is
making patterns in accordance with the
draft. and this also is important, reQuir-
ing skilled wOTkmen. The gentlemen of
the 1rm are evidently men of enterprise,
aiming to keep up with the times and
the demands of business. The establish
ment is one of great interest to any per-
son, especially to one who realizes some
what the wonders of invention and the
progress of the age. 1t is to the men of
practical knowledge that the world owes
its great and rapid advancement in use
tul machinery and the application of
power. These men are the real benefact-
ors, and to them do mankind owe
debt of lasting gratitude. Weighed in
the balance of utility, how far these men
outweigh the warriors and cOnquerors
of the world,

The RedistrIctinc of Canton.

In accordance with the report of the
Special Council Committee, consisting
of COuncilmen Sherrick, Slentz and
Stevenson, and Civil Engineer HOll, the
Council have determined to Tedistrict
the city by dividing it into seven wards.
This was thought necessary ON account
of the heavy vote pOlled in the First
Third and Fourth Wards, which on cleo
tlOn day has kept election judges count
ing out until nearly dawn of the follow
ing day. In the notice of the proposed
subdivision given in this issue, will be
found the boundaries and numbers of
the new wards. In dividing up the
wards the houses in each of the present
wards were counted by Engineer HOlI,
as follows: Second, 335; Third, $780,;
Fourth, 4Ol; Fifth, 1868; Sixth, 358:
Seventh, 400. The Third Ward being
changed to the First, the houses were
not counted, but put down at 400. This
gives the city 2,642 houses. This division
into seven wards will give us fourteen
instead of eight CUuncilmen. An ad
vantage which every citizen will appre
ciate is that of having polling places
closer to their homes. Heretofore citi
zens living in the outskirts have been
obliged to come from one to one and a
half miles to vote, which frequently re-
suited in large proportion of the vote
remaining unpOlled.
