THE ROAD TO SMOKY.
1t Will be Passable on Horseback in
About Two Weeks.

Dan Beaton, the Smoky mail car
rier who came in this morning via
tho Gold Belt and Croy gulch, says
that there is not over six inches of
snow on Willow Creek. The road
is practically on horseback from Hal
ley to the Willow Creek divide
about % miles. On his next trip he
intends to break the trail on the di-
vide, the next to ride to the Galore
Stormy gulch, week later to the
King of the West gulch, and by the
18th of April to Carrie Leonard gulch.
Sleighs, he thinks, can follow shortly
after he breaks a trail. The only bad
place is across the divide, and there
it will be a month anyway before
teams can travel at all, unless dirt
is thrown in the road to melt the
snow.

GOVERNMENT REyOLVERS.
They are Ugly.Looking Weapons for
MnlefactOrs to Face.

Chief Clerk Henry, of the railway
mail service, has been supplied with a
number of revolvers for his subordi-
mates on the Oregon Short Line,
which are ugly-looking weapons.
They resemble somewhat the old
fashioned powder and ball revolver SO
common during early days, and are
in exscss of II inches in length. The
gun is very plainly made, the
handle CT walnut, the hammer, trig
ger, guard, cylinder and barrel OF
blued steel, and the cylinder frame Of
laminated steel. The barrel, in it.
self, is seven and one half inches
long.
An unusual arrangement is notice.
able in the lock, there being safe.
ty notch for the hammer, in addition
to the half and full-cock notches, sc
that when the hammer is thrown back
three distinct clicks are heard. An
other very unusual feature is the cali
Der, which is in the neighborhood o
A, but not exactly that, and perhaps
larger. This necessarily requires EN-
ployes to obtain all their ammunition
from the Government and preclude
possibility Of any private target prac
tise.
The cartridges seem to be of an un
common length and may be placed i
position by removing a contrivanc
on the right-hand side OF the revolve
and after discharge are removed b
means of spring eJector place
along the barrel. Barrel and stoc
appear to be made in one piece, an,
the only part removable is the cylin
der. Altogether the new gun is
most substantial one, and calculates
to do effective work.

THE JUMBO TUNNEL.
Ii Is in $40 Feet, and Shows A Good
Strong Vein.

Captain Gum came in to day from
the Jumbo group, on the Gold Belt.
He reports the lower tunnel in $40
feet, with we'll defined foot and hang
ing walls in sight, and vein matter but
no ore yet. That, however, will come
soon. OF that there is no doubt, as
the vein is strong, well-defned, and
much wider than above.
