Railroad grading between this
place and Anaconda Is progressing
rapidly. There are four grading
camps on the line, and at each camp
there are about seventy five men and
twenty-five teams, making q forceof
nearly three hundred men and one
hundred teams. It Is expected the
work will be completed in about two
months.
A large force of men and teams has
also been engaged for the past ten
days in repairing the
WAGON ROAD
to Anaconda, where it crosses the
Deer Lodge and through Philips
lane. I understand the Anaconda
Company, Kirkendall 4 Brown, to-
gether with some of the principal
business men at Anaconda have COZ
tributed over thousand dollars to
this work, which work is being done
to make ready for the hauling of the
heavy machinery for the Anaconda
melter that is expected soon.
Passenger travel is very heavy,
from 20 to 40 passengers arrive each
morning and take the stage to An
aconda. We now have two lines of
stages, so that parties coming on any

securing transportation to the future
metropolis of Deer Lodge valley.
Outside parties have very little

HOW GUN BARRELS ARE
MADE

The beautiful waved lines and cur
ious fiowerlike figures that appear
on the surface of the barrels are real
ly the lines or welding, showing that
two different metals, iron and steel
are intimately blended in making the
finest and strongest barrels. The
process of thus welding and blending
steel and iron is a very interesting
one. Flat bars, or ribbons, of steel
and iron arc alternately arranged to-
gether and then twisted into cable.
Several Of these cables are then weld
ed together, and shaped into long,
fiat bar, which is next spirally coiled
around hollow cylinder. called a
mandrel after which the edges of
these spiral bars are heated AMI firm
ly welded. The spiral coil is now
put upon what is called a welding
mandrel, is again heated, and careful
ly hammered into the shape of gun
barrel. Next comes the cold ham
mering, by which the pores of the
mental are securely closed. the last,
or finishing, operation is to turn the
barrel on lathe to exactly its proper
shape and size. By all the twistings
and weddings and hammerings, the
metals are so blended that the mass
has somewhat the consistency and
tOughness of woven steel and iron.
A barrel thus made is very hard to
burst, but the finishing of the i'll
side OF the barrel is an operation re-
curing very great care and skill.
What is called a cylinder bored
barrel is where the bore or hole
through the barrel is made of uniform
size from end to end. A choke-bore
is one that is little smaller at the
muzzle end than it is at the breech
end. There are various ways of
"choking'2 barrels, but the OBJ
iect of all methods is to make the
gun throw its shot close together with
even and regular distribution and
with great force. There are several
kinds of metallic combinations that
gunmakers use the principal of
which are called Damascus, Bernard,
and terminated steel; the Damascus
barrels are generally considered the
best.-St. Nicholas.

GEN. GRANTS STOIC1SM

| was sitting in his office when he
entered this morning and was sur
prised to see him looking so feeble
and so used up. He is unable yet to
walk without his crutches, and this
fact gives him the appearance of a
confirmed invalid. Four months
have passed since he met with his ac-
cident and still his ankle is unable to
support the weight of his body. As
he made his way slowly into the room,
one had a good chance to note his al
pearance-the impassive, stolid yet
resolute face, determination, will
power and tenacity of purpose mark
ed in every line of features, his cool,
gray eyes looking at one IN rather
grim way, his short, thick-set figure,
which by reason of his dependence OH
his crutches, seemed shorter still, a
cigar, at which he puffed occasionally,
held between his teeth-such were
the characteristics of the man about
whom everybody is talking, and with
whom, in his unexpected trouble,
every one is sympathizing.
You could not tell from his face that
| the failures were even q source of an
noyance to him. He does not thus
express his annoyance. Mr.. Smith,
the active member of the firm, who
represents it in the Stock Exchange,
had his hands full of papers and was
here, there, everywhere, talking with
this man and that and endeavoriug to
stlaighten out matters while his face
reflected the care and anxiety that
were on his mind. But you saw none
of these signs in General Grant S
countenance it was utterly lacking
I in expression. The failure may drive
Grant from active business enter
prises for he has enough on which
to live comfortably, and will not be
disposed to take any further risks, at
least SO long as he IS in poor health.
He never has been successful in
business, for some reason or others
and, while he is held in the highest
esteem for his great services to the
country, his name has ceased to have
the charm that it once had as witness
the collapse of the Worlds Fair pro-
ject, which even he, as president,
could not make popular.-Neec York

SHORT-METRE ROMANCE.

Some years ago Kate Walworth,
then a school teacher in New York,
became engaged to William Emer-
son, young dairy farmer. Miss
Walworth during the period of be-
trothal, visited Illinois, where she
met Samuel Hull, who owned several
fine farms. He was smittcn with
the charms of the fair maid from the
east. and she was somewhat dazzled
with her wealthy new lover. Her
brother also favored the suit of Hull,
and the consequence was she re-
turned to New York under betrothal
to Hull, and anxious to break with
Emerson, the old love. There was
a somewhat stormy scene when they
met, but the result was the New
York farmer made VOW of eternal
fidelity to her, and consented that
she should marry the bonanza farmer,
providing that during her whole life,
whether married or single, they were
to correspond, exchanging at least
one letter every month. Miss Wal
worth returned to Illinois and mar
ried Samuel Hull. Then came the
crash farm after farm melted away
and before the honeymoon was over
the young husband was poor man
and obliged to accept position as
salesman with Chicago firm.
Twelve years passed and misfoltunes
came upon Mr. Hull and his wife.
Most of the time she supported her.
self and husband by teaching. In
the meantime the correspondence
continued, which the wife always
dutifully read to her husband. One
letter said the dairy farmer had mar
ried, was prosperous, and wished his
early love prosperity. About two
years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Hull went tc
Dakota and located q claim some
twelve miles south of jamestown.
Last fall Emerson, now grown rich.
was travelling through the West and
stopped at jamestown to see his old
flame. He arrived at the miserable
shanty just in time to close the eyes
of Hull, and remained long enough
to attend to the funeral and pro,
vide for the immediate wants of the
widow. Returning home Emerson
found his wife dying, and in a few
minutes she breathed her last. The
last scene in this condensed novel
as strange as any fiction, is wher
the old lovers appeared before s

ON PAINTING.

1t is surprising how everybody
rushes at fainting person and
strives to raise him up, and especial
ly to keep his head erect. There
must be an instructive apprehension
that if any person seized with faint
ing or other fit, fall into a recumbent
position, death is more imminent.
l must have driven mile to-day
while lady was held upright.
/ found her pulseless, white and
apparently dying, and l believe if l
had delayed ten minutes longer she
would really have died. l laid her
head down on a lower level than her
body, and Immediately color return
ed to her lips and cheeks, and she
became conscious. To the excited
group of friends, [ said: Always re-
member this fact, namely-Fainting
is caused by want of blood in the
brain: the heart ceases to act with
sufficient force 10 send the usual
amount of blood to the brain, and
hence the person loses consciousness
because the function of the brain
ceases. Restore the blood to the
brain, and instantly the person re-
covers. Now, though the blood is
propelled to all parts of the body by
the action of the heart, yet it is still
under inufence of laws of gravita-
ton. In the erect position the blood
ascends to the head against gravita-
ton and the supply to the brain is
diminished. as compared with the re-
cumbent position, the hearts pulsa-
ton being equal. If, then, you place
a person sitting whose heart has
nearly ceased to beat, his brain will
fail to receive blood, while if you lay
him down, with the head lower than
the heart, blood will run into the
brain by the mere force of gravity
and in sufficient quantity to restore
consciousness. Indeed, nature teach
es us how to manage the faint
ing persons, for they always fall,
and frequently are at once restored
by the recumbent position into which
they are thrown.
