THE PUBLIC SCHOOL HOUSE.
Appoinrmsn t of Trustees to Serve Till Apr

Messrs Irvine and Stackpole, School Trus-
tees, having resigned during Superintendent
Catlin's absence, he did not appoint their sue
cessors until Wednesday when Messrs. Peter
Walton aud Henry s. Reed, at the solicita-
ten Of many citizens Of the district, yielded
their disinclination to assume the respo nsi-
bilities and labors Of the position, and were
appointed to serve until the April election.
They, with Mr.. J. Z. Van Gundy, now con-
stitute the Board, and we believe it will be
an excellent one, combining first-class bust
ness qualifications, identity with the welfare
Of the district, and practical knowledge Of
educatisna matters. We doubt il a better
Beard could be selected.
In this connection we reiterate what was
here said before, that there Is no other pur-
pose that we have heard Of on the part Of
any citizen Of this district than to complete,
In the best possible manner, the school house
now In course of erection. 1t has been more
costly than probably any ono contemplated
when this project was started. We appro-
priated $4,000 for the purpose. There has
already been expended $4,000, and 1t will
cost probably moro than $40 900 additional to
complete IL and get titles. We had reached.
IL net exceeded, tho legal limit Of bonds, and
they were selling ut . heavy discount II
was decided BY the electors best to call a
halt and take new start on better footing.
Trustees stackpole and Irvine who had been
In office during the development Of the pro-
ject, did as Is done by the English Ministry
when q ministerial measure is rejected by
Parliament resigned, that the majority
might be represented.
The building stands unroofed and the iron
cornics is on the ground, but not put up.
Prominent citizens will advance the money
to rsof 1t and put up the cornics, and take
bonds 1t par when they are issued; and the
wsrk will be done at snce. Probably the
Trustees will negotiate for titles, invite pro-
pssals for completing the building, and when
the amount necessary 70 cover all indebted
ness is ascertained, the Legislature wall be
asked to authorize tho district to vste on .
pr opposition legalizing any existing over
issue and for bonds sufficient to set the prop
erty free Of debt. That In the purpose.
The building is fine one the workman
ship first-class, and the location excellent.
There ara existing arrearages Of 81, 200. On
the Lundberg q CART contract for $500,
there has been about 1000 paid-as much -
the work now dsnc amounts to-and the re-
manning a, 800 Of work win come In with
the expense of plastering, painting, roofing,
etc, which has yet to be met. The trustees
will take hold Of the matter 1t once ana give
IL their best attention.

THE ANACONDA SHELTER.
The First Fires Started in That Mighty
Structure.
er-Mountdin, 9Th,


The Inauguration of the most important
and extensive smelling enterprise yet known
in connection with the mining history Of
Montana was the great event in Anaconda
on Wednesday. Supt. McCaskell and the
metsllurgist, Mr.. Chenhall, on that day es-
cortsd Mrs. McCaskell to the great smeltsr,
where, amid general enthusiasm and rejoic-
ing, the lady started the first fire in the fur
naces, thus beginning the great work for the
conduct Of which the Anaconda company
has expended already nearly 100000 in
mining development, machinery and build
ing in this district 1t was an event fraught
with great significance to the people of Butte
and Anaconda, for 1t means that actual work
is about to begin in the reduction of the pro-
duct Of tho greatest copper mine in the
world, and by company which will give
direct employment to !, 900 men, and indirect
support to at least 5000 people. 1t has been
the fortune Of no lady in the land, except
Mrs. McCaskell, to be afforded the honor Of
starting 50 important an enterprise in the
mining world. That the fires were lighted
by SO fair hand Is good reason for the hope
that they may never be extinguishsd.

and the following
| REPORT:
DEER LODGE, Montana, Sept. 8, 1884,
Hon. John Schuyler Crosby,
Governor Of Montana:
SIR: In accordance with your letter of In
structions, appointing and directing US to
examine the brick work in the cells of the
| United States Penitentiary, located at Deer
Lodge, Montana, and report in writing
| whether or not there is sufficient strength in
the walls already built to carry another tier
Of cells, and for completing the work accord
| ing to the original plans" we make the iol
lowing report:
We have made the examination as directed,
having removed the tagging in the bottom
of several cells on the lower tiers and dug be-
low the bottom of the walls, exposing the
brick and stone work and detaching portions
thereof. We also examined and detached
portions of the brick and mortar at various
other places in the two tiers of cells now
erected, aud submit herewith samples of the
same.
We found the end walls, at the north and
south, built on substantial stone foundations.
The side or east and west walls Of the tiers
Of cells have no stone foundation sufficient to
support another tier in fact, scarcely any
The brick walls extend down eighteen inches
in the ground, and are now, and it is infer
red, are always very damp. We do not find
that any cement was used in laying them.
The stain of the water, although the walls
have been repeatedly whitewasbed, extends
in many places foot above the floor level Of
the cells. The brick below the surface Is all
soft and wet. The mortar and all material
have lost whatever adhesive qualities they
may have had. The brick throughout ap-
pears of about the same quality, not being
we'll burned, and would not grade up to av-
erage salmon brick. There are as inferior
brick in the lower as in the upper courses,
and the mortar throughout has no considera-
BILE adhesiveness.
While we believe the tiers of cells as at
present built, with the Strengthening we
suggest, may stand with safety for some
years, we ere decidedly of the opinion that 1t
would not be safe to erect thereon another
additional tier of cells, requiring nearly
$4,000 brick, besides heavy iron work, nor to
materially increase the present weight on
the cell foundations as they are.
We alse find that the end walls Of the cells
are detached from the center wall. On the
north end the assure is readily apparent, and
on the south end 1t has been filled in with
mortar and whitewashed over, so that the
spreading does not show. We recommend
that substantial iron bars or rods-four in all
be extended through both the lower and
upper tiers Of cells, near the north and south
ends Of the tiers, with plates and screws, to
clamp these walls together and prevent fur
Their spreading.
We desire herewith to express thanks for
the facilities afforded us by the officers of the
the prison, and to acknowledge the prompt
cooperation of Commissioner Mills. We
are, Governor, Very respectfully,
w. T. SIMosroN.

Saturday, August 30, Governor Crosby re-
ceived notice that the appropriation of s15,.
900 for completing the United States Peni-
Tertiary at Deer Lodge, was available. On
Sept he visited the prison, and on the I'd
called for proposals for erecting the third tiers
of cells. Some question Of the strength OF
the existing cell walls and their adequacy for
sustaining another tier of cells being raised,
Governor Crosby on Saturday made the fol.
lowing appointment: ,
