The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch writes on Tuesday


Richmond Dispatch writes on Tuesday
that:
The anti Malone faction at Staunton and
elsewhere in that part of the State are doing
all they can to prevent the confirmation of W..
E. Craig of Stanton, the United States AttOr-
ney for the Western District of Virginia. They
are sending in their indictments against him,
and the committee will not act upon the case
until the testimony is all in. The strongest
protests against him are said to have come
from his own home. Staunton furnished a
great many kickerS in the last campaign, and
the osts are power in the Republican party
over in that portion of the State.
Enquiry in Staunton does not confirm
this. The fight of the anti-Mahone men in
Staunton, as far as we can learn, is not
against District Attorney Craig confirma-
lion, but for the established usage Of con-
gressmen controlling the appointments in
their own districts. They are determined
that Gen. Malone shall not have the ap-
p0intments in the congressional districts
if they can help it, and where it has been
OF may be given him it is certain that the
confirmation of the appointees will be con
tested Mr. Craig's is not congressional
district, but a judicial district appointment

BI-METALLIC.

The Bi-Meta]lic tramway is now mum
bered among the wonders of the United
States, it being the longest tramya,
therein,
R. A. Hewitt, the engineer who sc
successfully constructed the line as
superintendent for the Trenton Iron
company, left last Saturday for his
home in Hackensack, N. J. The line II
1B miles long, which is 1000 feet Longer
than any other in existence. It is now
carrying 18O tons of ore in ten hours
but its capacity is 20 tons more thar
that amount, although it will be un-
necessary to run it at full speed, as il
supplies the mill in less than ten hours
for each "a hours run. The carrying
cable is l Is inches in diameter and the
hauling rope g of an inch in diameter,
and is made of steel and carries IS
buckets. At its present rate of speed it
delivers 500 pounds of ore every SO
seconds. and on trial in full capacity it
delivered 500 pounds in IS seconds.
The most striking feature about the
Bi-Metallic tramway is the fact that the
gravity obtained in running the line pro-
duces power enough to run the engine
and rock breaker with the throttle en-
tirely closed and the speed is regulated
with only two brakes.
The Trenton company are now con-
structing one for the NOVEL; gold min
ing company at Juneau, Alaska, which
will be over two miles long, with a
single span of LOO feet and another
1 200 across mountains to avoid disas-
trous snow slides.
The first tramway ever constructed in
the United States was put up by Mr..
Hewitt, at Pottsville, Pa, and he has
been engaged in the work ever since, but
meyer started one with better success
than the one just completed. The first
day it run was on Sunday, May 18th,
starting at 7:3O q. M, and at IL M. they
had delivered 7219 tons of ore. The
company now intend building a large
and extending the track to
the same from the unloading terminal,
where they will deposit the richest of
their ores for shipping, as they have
quantities of ore that are too rich to be
worked in the mill here.

GRANITE MOUNTAIN.

GRANITE MOUNTAIN.
The output for the week ending Ma,
- was 58 bars of bullion, containing
8O,668 ounces silver and 71.195 ounces
gold.
The new Granite Mountain mill al
Rumsey is we'll worthy tho honor of be-
ing the best and largest of it's kind in
the world. A recent trip through the
mammoth works in company with Supt.
Weir revealed most magnificent piece
OF mechanism. Entering at the hand
some engine room, where the $500 horse
power engine operates the gigantic
works with all apparent ease and to the
entire satisfaction and pride OF the en-
gineers, and proceeding thence upward
through the various apartments until
the tramway is reached, which enters
the mill at the summit of that lofty
structure, we find the same good man
agement existing in all departments as
was manifested in the engine room.
The tramway is working quite satis-
factorily now, and no difficulty is found
in supplying the mill with the 125 tons
OF ore that is required to keep it's 80
stamps in motion each day. The ore
bins are of sufficient capacity to keep
enough ore on hand to run the mill one
week, in case any accident should
happen the tramway-thus avoiding any
delay. We find in this mill four aeita-
tors, which are contrivances not used in
anv other Nails, we are informed, and
they prove a great advantage in prevent
ing any amalgam from escaping, as all
the tailings pass through them, and any
of the escaping amalsam settles to the
bottom and is taken out at the regular
up. Considering the size of
this mill and the vast amount of ore
operated on each day, one would think
the dust and fumes arising from it to be
sutfocating; but such is not the case.
Air tiues are arranged in snch a manner
that the workmen do not experience any
unpleasantness. except, of course, in the
Trying rooms, where the excess of
chlorine gas cannot be disposed of with
much success. This is decidedly pun
gent to one unaccustomed to it, but the
nen soon become used to 1t. and by |
wearing respirators do not experience
much difficulty with it. The water
power, which is always ready in case of
ire is brought from high up the noun
ain side and is OF tremendous force.
4 quantity of hose is constantly in readi-
less, and consequently fire could gain
out little headway in case one should

shaft sunk 20 feet and his prospects be-
come brighter at every stroke of the
pick. This is encouraging news to the
inhabitants of that district. There will
be a great deal of development work
done in that vicinity this season.
Thos. Noonan, who has been pros-
pecting in the Pyrenees district for the
past month, arrived in town this week
exceedingly delighted with the results of
bis labors. having struck rich lead of
ore, carrying ruby and native silver.
The vein is &c inches wide, and from a
shaft sunk IL feet, he obtained 10 tons of
high grade ore which he intends ship
ping at once. He returned to his treas
ure Saturday
1t is now definitely understood that
the Hope mill IS soon to be started up
again and in all probability with an in
creased force. Another pocket of un-
usually rich ore has come into sight
during the past week in the mine that
alone will insure the operation of the
mill for some time to come. 1t will be
some time, however, before tho mill is
ready to commence work as there ia a
large amount of repairing to be done
that will occupy the greater part of
several weeks.

manner Louis right leg was broken in
two places above the ankle. DR.. Allen
was summoned and attended to the in
juries while Louis looked on and did
not seem to realize the fatality that had
befallen him. His recovery is very
doubtful, as the doctor thinks blood
poisoning will surely set in, and his
system being SO thoroughly saturated
with ''booze" he will stand but little
show to recover. He was taken to the
hospital in Deer Lodge Friday, and
strange to say, although he is Sc years
old, this was the first time in his life that
he rode in railroad coach. He came to
