BLACK EAGLE FALLS. NOTES
The March Of Improvement Goes on
at the Big Smelter--A New
Blast Pipe Going in.
Work ut the Royal Milling Plant
Brisk-A Talk About the Wheat
Crop IN This County.

a TRIBUNE reporter Saturday made a
visit to the b. &. M. copper snelter, to
see what was going on there. Assistant
Superintendent j. j. Case received the
reporter cOurtcOusly and said that the
principal improvement now in progress
was the changing of the blast pipe so as
to furnish a more efficient blast to the
furnaces. To this end an immense sheet
iron pipe, about five feet in diameter, is
being laid from the new fan house to a
point below the machine shop and OPP
posite the blast furnaces. 1t is about
double the size of the old blast pipe, and
additional power will be developed in the
new fan house to run the blast.
In the fan house the machinery is be-
ing placed and Il small portion Of the
addition to the power house has been
partitioncd off and used as an armature
and electric workshop.
There is no change worth recording in
the production of copper at the big plant
OF the, B. & NJ. company recently. About
the same number of men are at work
and while there is considerable talk of
plans soon to be realized which will in
crease the capacity of the plant in more
than one department.suc proiectslf they
exist, are not in such state of forward
uess that any authorized officials of the
| company care to talk of them at present
| There are good many small stock
holders of the company employed in
the works, and they have just been
made to feel quite cheerful by dividend
of s. share, declared by the company
If this rate keeps Up, it would be equiv
aent to 10 per cent per annum on the
par value of the stock (Which is 5.lJ) and
would justify the stock of the company
selling at 500 d share, As many of the
smelter boys purchased their stock at
less than par they are justified in feeling
good over the Investment,
At the Royal Milling company'a plant
business is good and the mill is
in full operation. Wheat from the
surrounding country is coming in
quite fast. and it is estimated that the
company will be able to purchase about
| twice as much from this Immediate
vicinity as they did last year. Last
season the production OF wheat, mar
! i.etclI at the elevator and grown in Gus
cace county and vicinity, amounted 10
about 10000 bushels. This year

Criminal Record For Last Year.


 There is certainly something terribly out Of joint with the times fn this eoun- try. The record Of murder. suicide. em- bezzIement and crime for 1894 exceeds that of any other year. There were no less than g, 600 murders, a third more than there were the year before That is to say, of cur population Of 5s000,- coo one person in about 6, 653 was mur- dered. The record is an awful one. Over 900 of the killings were iB eonse- qnance of strikes and riots They ara the ghastly handwriting that marks events in tho labor war By far the largest number Of Killings, 536- were in consequence of quarFeIz It is to be noted that while 9.800 persons were murdered only f32 were hanged. More than twice as many hangiugs took place in the south as in the north. And I9o people were sent out of the world by the Iynching method last year, there being seven of these unlawful execu- tions in the south to one h the north. Georgia alone was the scene Of 20 lynch Ings. There were, however, ten fewer I7nehings in 1894 than in 1898.
 h tho list of suicides tharseard is no less ghastly. There were 1, 4,oI2 Of theso n 1894 against 4, 436 in 1895 Ia 1893 there was q great jump upward in crimes of dishonesty and violence h tho United States, but 1894 shows . heavy increase over that year. Much of the crime and violence Is undoubtedly due to hard times.
 The property lost throgh embezzle- ments and the dishonesty of trusted em- ployees amounted in 1894 to s25, 234,- 112 There never was anything Hks shis in the history of the country. It is to be hoped there never will be again. The power that rules tho universe seems somehow to have been sitting ont the hearts of men in these dark years of f8g3-94.
