THE GREAT TIMBER
BRIDGE.

From the Engineering News.
Two Medicine Bridge, on the
st. Paul, Minnesota and Manitoba
railway, is a structure which ranks
among the very highest timber
tressles ever erected, is 75l feet
long and 2l1 feet from rail to
water. II consists OF one span OF
100 feet, four spans OF 40 feet, and
all the rest of l6 feet. The great
Portage bridge, now no more, was
only 234 feet above water, and
atood on 81 foot piers.
The posts are made continuous
from the foundation to the cap.
packed at every story with plank
4 inches by IL inches, 6 feet long.
The stories are made u feet in
height 80 as to permit the use OF
Is foot lengths in posts, and also
to avoid using too long pieces In
the longitudinal and sway bracing.
Good timber is not plenty in Mon
tana in long lengths. The inside
posts have a batter in order to
afford better system of sway
braclng for the lower stories than
could be had with plumb posts.
and also make better spacing on
the foundations. Additional posts
are inserted AS the height Increases.
An additional batter post is
placed on the outside when the
height has reached such point
that it Is needed on account OF
wind and pressure. The assom'-
bling of tho various parts is made
in such way that tho tressle Is
easily raised piece by pisce, aud
any piece OF post, cap, wire, girder
or brace can be removed without
disturbing other parts OF the
bridge. For heights under lOO
feet tressle bents with l6 feet spans
are used. The foundations are
cribs, solid rock and stone piers.
and for the lighter bents, piling or
mudsills.
One other feature needs mention,
aud that rs, why wooden bridge
was built instead of su iron one. .
The reason was that the probable
delay OF track laying would not
permit OF waiting for au IRON
structure The bridge contains
about 750,0 feet Of timber.
The aoor of this bridge is pretty
solid, as it we'll might be for such

EDITOR ADVOCATE:
The Board of Managers OF the
Worlds Columbian Exposition
will visit your county in few days
with view of selecting committees
and organizing the work in that
county. You are doubtless aware
of tue smallness of the means al
our disposal to aid this great en-
terprise, being about $500 for
this year, and less than $4,000 for
'93, not enough to even pay the
freight upon the exhibit which
New Mexico should make, and the
current expenses which will be
necessarily incurred during the
exhibition in Chicago. To collect
this exhibit we must depend upon
the generosity and patriotism OF
our fellow citizens. | hope that
you will not fail to attend this
meeting and aid us with your pre-
sence and advice, and that you will
DO all that you can to secure the
attendance Of others. The exhibit
from your county must depend
largely upon the action OF its
people.
Hoping to have the pleasure OF
seeing you at this meeting, | re-

To operate a gold mine, silver
mine, an iron mine, a copper mine
or a coal mine proftably under
existing trade conditions it is
almost always necessary to do so
on a very large scale, in order that
by handling material in large
quantity and using heavy ma
chinery such economies may be
introduced as will result in total
profit where there 10 only small
net profit per ton, II is easy to
see why a mine of any sort worked
on the largest scale Warranted by
its character should be at an ad
vantage az compared with another
of the same class worked on a
smaller basis. With the larger
operations prices of supplies are
lowered, better terms are effected
on freight contracts and sales of
products, the average cost of super
intendence. etc, is lowered per
unit of product, division of labor
is better carried out, and the mere
fact of the extent of operations
usually implies the adoption of
such machinery and methods as
will in the long run cheaper the
work. A small mino ls denied

entered into for the production of
four "test rains" in East ern Colo

Consequently, probably no pay.

The Denver Mining Industry
says that competition has been
bearing hard upon the smaller pro.
ducers all around, miners included
with the exception of Just one
class, the gold and silver producers.
When sharp competition lowers
prices to such point that many
producers figure on cent or two a
pound profit on their copper, ten
cents to half dollar on ton OF
iron ore, and five cents or SO per
ton of coal, and even then may
have to average up losses with
profits to show this small margin
for the years run, it Is seen that
mining for these commodities
is under the same CALLING compnl.
slons as other industries, low
prices actually increasing the pro-
duction, in the endeavor to make a
given total profit, and thus making
things worse, as has occurred
more than once. But while the
three branches of mining, in less
degree, are thus driven by sheer
necessity to certain lines of policy,
there Is no such stress from the
same cause, in gold and silver
mining; though it is quite true
that similar effect may be pro-
duced by dissimilar cause, ad-
verse legislation. Here there is
no competition, at least none that
is directly perceptible. OF course
if anyone should discover noun
tain Of either of these two metals
the effect would be financial re-
volution; but within any sup
possible limits of production, not
only is the price more or less
matter of artificial convention; but,
is almost as important, what
ever the price may be the mardet
is immediate and will absorb an
indefinite quantity. 1t may hap
pen in the case of some other
commodity that when the existing
demand has been met and certain
total surplus stock ID on hand, the
market will hardly take any more
of them at any price at all; where
as, ore and bullion are about as
current as coin. The world may
want only so many steel rails. but
it will take any number of dollars

AS to the recent cattle war in

to be in favor of the "Rustlers," I"
not because some of them are
cattle -stealers, but because the
majority of them represent class
which has suffered at the hands of
the great stock ranch companies,

favor the cause of the "Rustler."

GOING RAPIDLY.
The Last Gale which Old Boreas Has Put
.on the Market.

BOSTON, Mass, March 18-The last
severe snow storm which Boreas has in
stock for this season has been put upon
the market and is ''going rapidly" 1t
was started on the Texas coast, but the
''norther'' from the interior proved too
much for it, and pushed it eastward.
When it got centered near New Orleans,
there was sharp encounter between the
forces of the storm and the north wind
up in Tennessee, but the belligerent dis
turbance was repulsed, with much loss
of vapor from the clouds in the form of
snow. In fact, % inches was the depth
of the feathers torn from the wings of
the high-fying winds, and the darkeys
who hate snow as a cat does water, said
''boo" when they looked out of their
cabin windows, and shut tight the cabin
door. But the snow came in through
the cracks. 1t must have been a calm
aspect which the big plantations of Ten
nessee presented this morning, for it
takes gallons of corn juice to make a
Southern black man venture forth into
deep snow.
When the storms EDrees had blasted
the apple and simmons trees of the
great Lone Star State they departed east
ward. When the advance guard reached
the South Atlantic coast, it was rein
forced by moisture from the Gulf Stream
for the storm king is prohibitionish. He
derives strength from water. When the
main body of the great maelstrom had
arrived at Jacksonville, the forerunners
of the aerial conflict were far to the
northeastward. The storm commenced
here at o'clock this morning. At s
the centre was off Cape Hatteras.
There was great difference in tenn
perature between Hatteras and Norfolk,
Va At Norfolk the air was freezing
cold; at the Cape, 100 miles distant, OF
more than temperate warmth. Why
this is significant will appear when the
reports of wrecks in those waters begin
to come in. Hatteras is great place fol-
gales.
The cold wave was central today in
Kansas-6o below at Dodge City, That
degree of cold was also recorded at HUI
ron, S. D., and Qu' Appelle, N. w. T.,
and zero at Rockliffe, Cal. Another cold,
fair area has appeared in the extreme
Canadian northwest, so perhaps sleigh
ing will be enjoyed in Boston and New
England for a season. The two cold
waves will unite.
The temperature is down to freezing
on the Gulf coast west of the Mississippi
and 10o below at Atlanta, Ga.
Dispatches from New York, New Jer-
sey and Ohio report from IL to "a inches
of snow ON the ground. From Texas
comes the news that the damage to the
peach crop will be $750,00O. The snow
there has reached tbs extraord kassy depth
of 20 inches.
