TALK OF A WONDERFUL INVENTIONS

VIfty Horse Power in Kleetrfcity frsn =
Sphere Sixteen Inches In Diameter
The accounts that come across tn
Atlantic of an electric invention mad1
by DIR. Mandruft, in Geneva, Swift
land, have a strong SAVIOR of improha-
bility, TO say the least. The machins
b described as a simple device, a solid
sphere of copper, 40 centimeters in d.
alneter about 16 inches contained
within a sphere of zinc so centimetss
b diameter.
The two spheres revolve in opposite
directions at a rate of 500 revolutions .
minute, and the space between Is k1pt
filed with steam at a pressure of six at
mospheres. 1t is said that from a hzff
horse power of motive force an elect<e
current is developed sufficient TO run
500 incandescent lamps. As ten lamrn
are reckoned to a horse power, this
means fifty horse power in electricity
Now this would be absolutely absznd
were it claimed that 50 small an amount
Of motive power alone produced sneb
an astonishing result The law of CO..
version of energy shows it to be impes-
Eible to develop from any device whrHt
ever more force than Is applied to ths
operation of that device. 1t would be
getting something out of nothing. or
ike the proverbial effort to Lift 0neh
self by the boot straps II there b any
basis TO the story the electric powr
must be developed mainly through
conversion of theenergy resident either
IN the heat or some other property IN
the steam under some hitherto unkn0~n
mechanical OF chemical principle-
Should these reports be verified, o.
the conversion of heat into electricity
be effected in some other way, the ne
suits would indeed be almost beyund
the limits of conjecture in the change
wrought. An extraordinary sheapm-
ing of light and motive ,Sower would
be brought about, and the cost OF ali
kinds of mechanical production wuuid
be correspondingly diminished. Labor
saving devices of all sorts would be
more generally introduced. Elecfnc
heating. instead of being merely theo-
retically practicable. would probably
become the cheapest form of heat fc-
domestic uses, as well as the most con
venient.
Another far reaching result would be
the introduction Of cheap aluminuni-

abundant in its crude state of any o.
earth, is nowmoSt extensively produce ;

A New Mining District.

For some months past there have
been vague rumors of the discovery OF
q mineral deposit in the Wolf MouB-
tAins on upper Tongue river and while
many experienced prospectors have
from time to time expressed the belief
that there was mineral wealth in the
Wolf mountains, it was not until yes
terdSy that positive assurance was re-
eeived here that it is 30. Rich deposits
Of both tin and silver have been struck
in the vicinity Of Vicker's sa~mill.
In one place q tunnel Of over 100 feet
has been driven, developing both ORES
in paying quantities. Should the de-
posit grove to be generalin that section
there will undoubtedly be q rush 20
the new mines, which will result in
great benefit to Miles City. The only
drawback TO the prospect Of immedi-
ate development is that the locality in
which the mineral has been found is
supposed to be In the district with
drawn from settlement for the use OF
the Cheyenne Indians.

purpose Of killing him, claiming that
he seduced their sister under promise
Of marriage ard then married another
woman about two weeks ago.
Mcconnell WAS shot twice at the
barn, when he ran to the house end up
stairs, where he was followed by the
Bartlets and again shot. He got out
through the window and started
across the prairie, where he wss shot
twice again. Hill and Irwin were

in laying off its streets and lots, de-
sires in the main to connect and con-
form with the old town as at present
laid off. To do this the opening Of
some streets will be necessary. Ii
will be mutually advantageous if the

gether in these matter, and to this
end we hope our corporate authori-
ties will give all reasonable aid they
can in this direction.
