Improved Engine Construction.

One of the latest methods Of steam
engine construction aims to economic
steam and maintain constant equal
pressure on the driving shaft, with the
advantages accruing from such plan,
and is claimed to be an improvement on
those engines which have more than
one movable piston working in the same
cylinder, each separately connected by
the crank. According to this system,
the engine has three pistons in the cyl
lnder, the rod of the central one passing
through the center Of the inner piston;
the rods OF the outer piston also pass
through the wires, secured to it at equal
distances from the rod of the center pis-
ton, these rods not being fastened to the
latter, though they pass through it.
lhus, the movements of the outer and
inner plstons are steadied. The central
ana outer pistons are forced apart in op-
poslte directions when the steam is let
~ between them through the port, until
the le exhaust port allows it to escape.
Wheu 1t is admitted through the central
ana inner pistons, the former is moved
back, going in one direction, while the
END plstons move in the other; and as
the cranks OF the central and end pis-
tons are set opposite; the crank shaft is
at the time pulled and pushed in oppo-
site directions by the movement of the
three pistons, and the strain upon it is
equal in both.

THROUGH THE WOOD.

y
Through the woodlands when the day
Drives the dusky night away.
And the hili-top's pearly height
Catches first the creeping light,
And above the valley pale.
Slow the night-mistS lift their veil
Then, with whistle clear and low,
Down the woodland path go.
Dim the dew upon the grass
Prints my footsteps as pass,
And the cowslip's carpet sweet
Crushes meath my springing feet,
And the daisy-blossom's eye
Closes as my step draws nigh,
Lest bruise her tiny cup,
Ere her lord, the sun, is up!
First / chirrup to the bird.
Ere from rest he scarce hath stirred;
Whistle shrill with laughing lip
just to see the rabbit slip
Through the fern or budding clover
That his swift form closes over;
And with merry heart ring out
Now carol, now u shout!
Thus wander ere the sun
Half its midday course hath run,
List ming to the forest noises
Call of partridge, wild things voices,
Yet with tenderest heart OF all,
Where the cool damp shadows fall,
List'ning-list'n ing-as go
To hear the brooklet's water flow.
Flowing--fowing-' song,
Glad I'd list to all day long;
For it tells me, soft and clear,
OF q woodland cottage near; 81
And beneath that woodland shade.
Lingering waits u brown-eyed maid; !.
Hasten. brooklet! whisper low
All thy tell-tale wave doth know!

Our Glorious Country.

Y There are old men in Detroit who
couldn't, if put upon the witness stand,
swear to within thirty days of the time
when corn and potatoes should be
planted, when grass is ready for now
ing, whist weather is favorable for
wheat, or indeed, any other point about
farming. and yet these are the men
most solieitous about the weather and
the farmer. On the Woodward avenue
car yesterday was pair, and they began:
. s.Awful storm, wasn't it?
..Yes, terrible.''
..They say it has ruined the wheat"
sDon't doubt it, sir. Wheat was just
in the right stage to be ruined. :
"And ii has killed all the fruit, pre-
sume?"
at probably has. I don't expect to
see an apple or peach this season. =
Must have rotted the corn?''
.sOh, of course. Corn was just in the
susceptible state. We shan't have any
corn this year
..The farmer must be discouraged ?'
ENTIRELY so. My hostler was telling
me that the milkman told him that the

who said he should pillow up his orchard
and try to raise crop of late potatoes. F."
"Indeed! Still, if we have a late fall,
so that wheat can hold on to October. it
may ripen. .
.;Barely possible. understand that
the hay crop has been frozen up. =
ssDo tell! Seems to me that our live
stock could be taught to relish frozen
hay, but / dunno. think we may con-
fdently expect a drought. y
ssAnd famine"
Sand those will probably be followed
by an epidemic which will sweep the
country.
With this they settled back to enjoy
themselves, and neither one betrayed
the least interest when a passenger rose
up and inquired:
ssWon't one of you gentlemen please
ARRANGE for judgment day to come be-
tween this and July !. I don't want to
live in this vain world over six weeks

THE HALEY LAND OFFICE.
The Amount of Business Transacted
Since its Opening Additional
Help Needed.

The Haley Land Office was opened on
the 10th of last July, and the Register
and Receiver have just completed their
report for the fractional quarter ending
on the Both of September.
From these reports it appears that
during the period stated, the sum of
S., 1870 was received for fees
and for lands sold. There were As
new prescriptions taken up, and five
soldiers warrants filed on. Besides the
above, 1926 acres were sold at 81 .25 per
acre, $50 acres of mineral lands sold at
SIS per acre; 5,574 acres were taken up
under the homestead law; 6,735 acres
under the timber culture law, and 10
town lots in Ketchum proved up on.
The total number of acres taken up,
sold or filed on, or proved up on, will
not fall short of "a 1000 and the total
amount of cash received, from all sour
ees, is, as above stated, IS, 167. 3d. Times.

THE SCHOOLS OF ALTURAs.

His Tour Of Inspection at Ketchun.
and Pron0unces Our Schools in
a Bright Condition.

Mr. D. E. Waldron, superintendent of
Public Instruction in AIturas county.
visited the Ketchum school, the last on
his tour of inspection, last Wednesday at
ternoon. He has had rough journey
through the county, visiting the schools
at Atlanta, Rocky Bar, Shoshone, Belle
vue, etc, and is very much pleased with
the condition of our schools as whole.
The new gambling licenses, together
with the usual school revenue, has
placed the treasury in healthy condi-
ton, and the schools, consequently. in
prosperous state. Mr.. Waldron ex
pressed his admiration for the Ketchum
schools in particular, and says that though
the pupils are Of young class, they are
very thorough in the branches studied.
This reflects credit not only on the
management entrusted to their instruc-
tress, Miss Emma GalIop, but also on
the great interest taken by the trustees,
Messrs. James Judge, III. C. McI,en-
mac and J. II. Lewis. Through the
energy of these putrons OF public inter

which we are enabled to keep up sys-

ATLANTA.
Operations Of the Last Chance Mining
and Milling Notes The Town.

Major Frank P. Cavanah, Superinten-
dent of the Last Chance mine and mill
at Atlanta, came down by the way of
SaTtooth, yesterday, and spent the af-
ternoon in Ketchum. He reports the
condition Of Atlanta as somewhat dull
at present, notwithstanding the fact
that the mining and milling industries,
there are quite as vigorous as usual. The
Monarch, Buffalo, Tahoma, Bascome
and Last Chance companies are all oper-
ating their mines, and the Last
Chance, Monarch and Buffalo mills are
pounding away at their usual rate. The
Tahoma and new Last Chance mills are
abont ready for erection, but there is
little probability of their completion
this fall. The mills now in operation
viii run till winter renders operation
difficult, when they viii probably lie
idle until spring.
The Last Chance mine, popularity
known as the specimen mine" is con-
tributing the usual amount of gold to
the bullion output of Atlanta, and to-
day looks better than ever. 1t is esti-
mated that two thousand tons of good
ore are now on the dump, and five hun
bred feet of solid chute in sight in the
mine. This, together with the prospec-
tive ore body, viii be sufficient to run
the mill for ten years TO come, at the
yate of twenty tons daily before any
trouble with water is anticipated. The
ore now worked, though considered as
gold ore, carries large quantities of sill
YER The assay value in gold is an ay-
erage of about S125, but a portion of
which is saved by the present rude mill
ing process. The tailings are concen-
trated, and viii furnish the new mill
when completed run of considerable
length The sulphuret ore taken from
the Last Chance assay $500 per ton in
silver. The monthly output Of the
Last Chance mill is about SIT, 900, and
the cost of operation is estimated at
S3,400. A brick was recently shipped
via Rocky Bar, that weighed $500 in
gold.
The mining and milling outlook Of
Atlanta is Indeed fiattering. The At
lanta mine, of late formally transferred
from the original Greenback and Mon
arch companies to the Atlanta
Co., now in possession, is CON
sidered one of the greatest gold mines
in the West. 1t is truly Comstock in
embryo.
The mines of Atlanta have already
made many fortunes for their managers,
and with the better advantage of labor
and transportation offered by the pres
emf and prospective development of the
| country, they bid fair to form the neu-
cleus of an immensely rich mineral
country.
| The completion next spring of the
Last Chance and Tahoma mills. in addi-
ton to the present milling capacity, will
| increase the number of stamps in opera
| ton to one hundred.
| One great drawback to the industry
| is snow. The road from Rocky Bar to
| Atlanta is often blockaded as late as
July, and last season it cost the people
of the latter place 1913 to clear the road
| by July 4th. There are various routes
laid down, and easily practicable to OBJ
viate this drawback, and in all proba
bility the enterprise of that camp will
act upon one of them IN another season
