The Lexington Mill Engine.

nal ofthe goth inst, in presenting an
illustration OF the plans and eleva-
tons of the new machinery for the
Lexington. mine of this place, says:
We illustrate in our present number
a specimen Of modern engines, one
of which was built for the Montana
& Utah Mining Company, by Messrs.
Frazer & Chalmers, Chicago, Ills.
This engine serves as a motor for the
Lexington Mill, Butte, Montana,
and is remarkable for its enconomy
as we'll a. its durability and beauty
OF design. 1t is a compound conden-
sing engine, and is provided with a
relocating receiver. The high-Eress-
ure cylinder is Is inches in diameter
and the low-pressure cylinder %
inches, both having a 6O-inch stroke.
Both cylinders are provided
with Corliss valves and the admis-
sion of steam is controlled by the
governor at the high-pressure cylin-
der, while the cutoff for the low
pressure cylinder is adjusted by hana
to adapt the engines to greater varia-
tions-for instance, to run a section
of the mill only, and divide the work
in such cases equally between both
cylinders. This adjustable cutoff is
a novelty in principle and design,
and permits cutting offthe admission
of steam at any point from zero to
full-stroke, while the common Cor
liss cutoff is limited to four tenths of
the stroke.
The receiver, placed between the
steam-cylinders, is provided with re-
t%urn-fues, for the circulation Of live
steam from the boilers to reheat the
steam before entering the low-pres-
sure cylinder. The exhaust steam,
leaving the low-pressure cylinder,
passes through a feed water heater,
similar in design to the re-heater,
and then enters the siphon condenser.
No critical tests as to economy in
consumption of fuel have been made
as yet, but the practical results are
surprising to mill-men. The Lex
ington mill is a dry-crushlng silver
mill, consisting Of SO stamps of $50
pounds each, with all conveyers and
and elevators, two five-stamp salt
batteries, 20 pans. 10 settlers, 2 agl-
tators, screens, furnace conveyors
and feeders for two Stetefeldt fur
naces, which machinery, with shaft
ings at usual terms, may be rated at
275 horsepower. Four tubular boil
ers. 81 inches in diameter, Is feet
long, with 75S square feet OF
heating surface, each, were pro-
vided; and although the water
supply of the mill Is not
sufficient to use the condenser, two
of these boilers only are in operation
to furnish steam to run the entire
mill, and this with q consumption OF
81 cords of wood per day of twenty
four hours. The Lexington mill en-
gines are the first striking instances
of the introduction of the best steam
engineering practice in silver mines.
Their success will, We trust, mark
the beginning of a new era, in which
due attention is given to this impor-
tant source of economy.

Murder.

WAUsEAN, Ohio, Oct. q. - An
atroclous murder was committed five
miles from here Tuesday night. A
farmer named George Williams
drove into Wausean that afternoon
with a load of clover seed, for which
he received quite a large sum. After
returning home nothing was e e of
HIM or his family by the neighbors
for two days, and last evening searcl,
was instituted. In the barn was
found the corpse of Williams, his
head being almost severed from the
booy. HIS wife was found on the bed
nearly starved. The money and val
uables known to have been in the
possession of the family were miss
ing. Last night the Marshal at
Wausean arrested a nan named
Johnson. who had in his possession
a watch known to belong to Will
lianls, and Johnson was held to an-
swer to the charge of murder.

The Chlnese-Red Tape and a
White Mule.

WASHINGTON, Oct. &.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury to the associated
press representative said: To this
time no official information has been
received by the department respect
Francisco. 1t would seem, from the
newspaper reports, he said, that the
Chinese government is issuing an
unusually large supply of Graders"
certificates, but of course as the stat
tutes permit traders to land, the col
lector of the port is without authori-
ty to prevent them from doing so
and it would certainly be a very diff
ficult undertaking to attempt to dis
tinguish Chinese traders flom labor
erS.
Lieut.. Koobe, stationed at the Mt.
Vernon barracks, Alabama, reported
to the war department that a white
mul, which had been at that post n
years is about to be sold, and the off,
GERS asked permission to buy him
aud keep him at their own
expense. The petition went through
the regular channels and General
Sherman presented it to the secreta-
nv Of war with the following report

true or false. the soldiers believe that
it was left al a big spring near where
Mt. Vernon barracks now am. at the
time Gen. Jackson's army vas
camped there about 1919 OF 1920. Ira
ditiOn says it was once a sOrrel but
now it is white from age. The quar-
termaster's department will be
chargeable with ingratitude if that
mule is sold or its maintenance
thrown on the charitable officers of
the post. / advise it to he Kept in the
department, fed and maintained till
death. 1 think the mule was
at Fort Morgan and Mobile Point.
when I was there 1912.
The Secretary of War thereupon
made the following order: "Let this
mule be kept and well cared for as
long as he lives"

where to Go to Spend Thanksgiving
Preparations of the SpOrtsmen-The
Attractions in the Suburbs.
The sDortsmen were making prepare
tions all day yesterday for spending
Thanksgiving. Wherever one went he
would see anglers with their fishing rods,
and hunters with their guns, getting
ready for the morrow. If the day
proves to be as fine as its prede-
cessor it will be very
pleasant one for out door
sports. 1t is hoped that there will be no
mishaps and that good luck will attend
all who spend the day in innocent reerea-
ton. The MORNING News of yesterday
announced the various attractions in the
suburbs, and from the present indications
it is probable that many VIII spend the
day out of the city. The races at Ten
Brock track will start at 2:30 O'Clock,
allowing ample time for those who wish
to leave the city on the l 80 train to reach
the track before the race is called, and
plenty of time to reach the CITY, in return
ing, for dinner and afterwards the even
ing amusements.
MANY will probably visit Montgomery
and Isle of Hope, taking advantage of the
special schedule of trains on the City and
Suburban Railway to spend the day at
these delightful resorts.
At the SchuetZen Park there will doubt
less be slots of fun and ''the bang OF
the gun VIII echo as the fattened turkey
falls.' The proprietor has arranged for a
full days sporting amusement, and those
who visit the Park will without doubt
have a full programme of enjoyment.
The shooting at all the targets in the
rifle range will begin at 1880 O'Clock,
special cars on the Coast Line Railway
leaving the city at O'Clock and the regu-
lar car at 80 O'Clock.
The match game of ball at Base Ball
Park between the Independents and a
picked nine, will afford amusement for
lovers of the national game. Both mines
have had practice and an interesting
match is anticipated. The game will be
called at 2:3O O'Clock. Street cars run
ming direct to the Park.

The interests of humanity seem to de-
mand the publication of the following
facts: Two months ago my attention was
called to the case of poor woman who
was said to be afflicted with a cancer. l
found her with an ulcer on her shoulder
at least five inches in circumference, an
CRY, painful, and giving the patient no
rest day or night for six months. i obtain
ed a supply Of Swifts Specific, which L
persuaded her to try. She has taken five
bottles, the result of which is that the
ulcer is entirely healed up, nothing re-
naming but a small scab, not larger than
ones finger nail, and her general health
is better than for five years past. She
seems to be perfectly cured.
An old man of 81 years has been subject
to scrofulous sores five years. He had
one on his cheek as large as a silver dol
lar, swollen, raw, and constantly eXuding
very offensive matter. Another on his
foot of the same character, and several
on the hands. all of about two and half
years standing. His general health was
poor, and he could scarcely get about at
all. He has taken two bottles Of Swift's
Specific. The sores are all well, leaving
scarcely a vestige of their former exist
ence, and his general health better than
it has been in ten years. | consider its
effects wonderful-almost miraculous.
