sCan you direct me to Pacific City,"
Sked the Buffalo man of station
gent in Dakota as he left the train at
,.huddle' of four or five houses.
Right across the street for infor-
nation, sir was the reply, and the
stranger walked across to shanty
bearing the sign of Real Estate" and
put the same question to red-headed
man who was busy folding and sealing
sprospectus.
This is it, sir" was the calm reply.
'Why-why-"
"Yoa are disappointed, of course"
well, rather"
you expected to see a city of at
least 5000 inhabitants, parks, schools,
factories, and all that?
'Yes, l did"
THAT'S the way with many others,
but it is not our fault. Our object Is
10 90 slow and sure, aud not create any
thing like a boom to give fictitious
values. We have done remarkably
we'll thus far One year ago this was
The only structure in the city. Now
look around.
4Now / can count seven"
Exactly. That's what our latest
prospectus says-improved 700 per
cent. in one year. Can you ask a town
to 90 ahead faster than that? Don't
coniound this wonderful progress with
boom, however. Booms have killed
half this Western country. We don't
want any"
"How's real estate?" queried the
Buffalo man after a while.
Advancing, of course. Six months
ago offered lots on Washington ave
hue for $40 foot. To-day am asking
SO, foot. That's 100 per cent, ISM
it, and nothing like a boom. We are
simply growing on our merits alone.
That's the proper way for town to
grow"
ANY factories here?"
There are. A year ago we had none.
Now we have a blacksmith and shoe
maker. That's an increase of 200 pei
cent, and want you to find town to
match it, There has been no boom,
howeyer-remember that. It's Just o
natural growth"
What's the population
That's one of the strong points In
ny new prospectus. A year ago | was
here alone. To-day we number twenty
two souls. Think of the tremendous

Are the future prospects Aatter-
hg?"
Exceedingly so. This climate Is
good for eatarrh and a check on bill
business. Our seasons are very mild,
and farmer can get sixteen hours q
day out Of the hired men. This Is Q
great distributing point for trade, and
me center of manufactures, and we
shall seek to have the national capital
removed here. We expect six railroads
and two canals to cross here, three

the medical fraternity il this
city Tor Il long tim is that of
Mary Nountz, aged T. years, who is
suffering from facial paralysis. This
affection is due to chewing gum, she
having employed the use of her jaws
so constantly during the last three
months that the muscles of her face
are powerless and her nerves are in
tlilapidated condition. When she laughs
her face presents an amusing sight, and
vet there is much sympathy felt for the
little girl, as her condition is regarded
rs serious one by the physicians who
have been called upon to treat her. In

North CarolIna's Gold.

CHARLOTTE, N. @, November 13.-
Great excitement prevails in the gold
mining circles throughout western North
Carolina, on account of the heavy gold
find just made by Tebe Saunders, in
Montgomery county. Saunders now
has hundreds of hands at work, and is
getting gold by the peck. He gets so
much gold that absolutely no pretense is
made at weighing it, except on a large
pair of grocers' scales. The find has
created profound sensation, and the
people in Montgomery and adjoining
counties are digging for gold by the
hundreds. Experts who have examined
the gold fields in this section say there
is as much gold in Western North Caro-
lima grounds as California ever dreamed
of. One mine alone, near here, is said to
be worth Sl,oO0,ooO. syndicates are
being organized, with plenty of cash, to
open up these mines, and developments
are expected at any early day that will
startle the world.

Tallest Chimney,

A special dispatch from Fall River,
Mass, says: "There vas completed yes
terday the tallest smoke shaft in America
on the grounds of the Fall River Iron
Works. The chimney is $40 feet high
above the granite base and is 80 feet
square at the bottom. Previous TO its
completion the tallest smoke stack in the
country was that recently finished for
the Clark Thread Company at Newark,
N. j. This is 1856 feet high, % feet at
the base and cost $4,000. The tallest
chimney in the world is at Paisley, Scot
land. lis over 500 feet high, while one
at Glasgow crowds this at 468 feet.
Providence has just completed chimney

Boston has only ole that ovettops that; it
being 200 feet.
"Fall Rivers new chimney will furnish

How Iron Cl.ai,is are Made.

The first operation is the making of the
links. The material comes in coils, each
containing from eighty to one hundred
aud twenty feet of round iron rod, which
is of uniform diameter, and of various
sizes, corresponding to the different styles
of chains.
A piece Of iron is placed in the groove
ola powerful machine, the wheel is start
ed, twisting motion impaired, and the
iron comes forth in spiral roll, louking
as The outer strand Of rapa might if
separated from the other component
parts.
The sfovve ino which the iron is press.
ed, and sPiddle.like arrangements about
which the coil is formed, make the coil
exactly uniform throughout, the links be-
ing the same distance apart and of The
same size. The mschiue does its work
rapidly; but little time is consumed IN
converting the eighty or more feet OF rod
into shape for chain links.
The next step iu the manufacture of a
Chain is the cutting of the links. The
spiral coil goes from the hands of the first
workman to another who places it in a
long sheet iron trough, suspended as high
as man y head, one end being consider.
ably lower than the other.
One end of the coil is then submitted
10 the operation of the cutting machine,
which at single blow strikes off enough
of it for a chain link. The machine is
regular and rapid in its motion. The
workman has only to hold the iron in po
sition, and from Two hundred 10 two
hundred and seventy Eve links are cut
every minute. They drop into a spout,
and roll therefrom into small cart, which
is hauled away when full to the Welding
department.
So far all the work has been done
without the agency of heat, but the chain
cannot be completed without the agency
of FIRE. The final operation is welding
the links together. Standing beside a
furnace In which hot natural gas is
blazing, the workman seizes a piece of the
white hot metal with his tongs, places it
on die, and putting his foot on q trea'
die causes q spring hammer to descend,
giving shape to the link.
Two more turns and two more blows oi
the hammer and the link is completely
formed and welded together. Another
piece is then taken from the fire, and the
open end deftly slipped around the link
Just formed. It is then operated upon
Just as the first link was another is adj
ded, then another; the chain is growing
rapidly-so fast, indeed, that too feet OF
more of it has been finished before the
red glow has died out of the frat link
welded.
Of the small chain, which the workman
is nov makingi the welding Of thtee
thousand links is considered good day'l
work. More can be made of a smaller
size, and less Of larger. 1t is hot and
noisy work. PiHsburg Dispatch.
