New York, July ia San Francisco
special says: On orders from Wash
inGton. the coinage of silver at the
mint in this city will be resumed at
once. These orders, following So
closely the nomination of Bryan at
Chicago, are believed to have political
significance.
In the past years little silver has
been coined here. Now. according to
the plans of the treasury officials, the
Pacific coast is to be dcluged with sil-
ver 1t is the belief here that the ad
ministration has two objects III view
to dlsproVe the bi-metallists' claim
that there is not enough silver in cir
culation, and to divert so much silver
coinage into the channels of trade as
to make business men heartily dis

We will coin not less than $500 .o00
in silver this month" said Supt. Dag

than that. next month. and will con

that will be turned into coin rapidly"

Patterson, the special committee on
fire department. which was appointed
some weeks ago to make proper invcs-

make of such an engine will be made,
this week. A suitable chemical fire en-
CINE for Hallowell, ii has been found,
is made by the Lindgren- Mahan
Chemical Fire Engine Co. of Chicago.
The specifications of an engine, pre-
scented by this company, seem to meet
/, with the approval of the committee,
and probably will be accepted The
specifications are for first-class,
double 60 gallon, two-horse, chemical
fire engine. and all attachments, to be
made of the very best material, and to
be painted in English vermilion, gold
striped and vanished; name and num-

one polished brass foot gong, one steel

two polished brass torches. two 10-foot
ladders, made to splice, making 49,

in one; two ks brass rcplenshinS
pumps. to recharge the engine. also to
compress the air into the tanks, com
pressed air being the power which
forces the eXtingushing fluid on the
fire. The tanks are made of the very
best galvanized steel and covered with
polished brass. They are lined with
non corrosive compound and tested to
500 pounds pressure to the square
inch. The amount of pressure carried
on the tanks is from 129 to $50 pounds.
The company guarantees the material
in every portion of the above machine
to be first-class in every particular.
and should any portion of the material
in the machine prove defective within
six years, they will take out such de
fective part or parts, and replace free
of cost to the city. The engine weighs
1900 pounds. Each tank will play 20
minutes. and only six minutes is re-
quired to fill them. The eXtinguishine
fluid is most inexpensive and hardly
worth considering. a complement of
three men only is required to operate
the engine. In fighting interior fires
it would prove invaluable. as furniture

The Hollingsworth & Whitney Paper
Co. have made quite extensive i'm
provements at the mills in this city.
A large one story paper house 40x100
feet has been built to the east of the
lower mill 1t is most substantial
building of wood with gravel roof,
the timbers of which are held up by
large ship knees. and the ends in the
center firmly held by irons. The end
of the building next to the present
paper room is of brick and runs along
on each side for ten feet. making it fire
proof from the mill. The house is
connected with the mill by an enclosed
passage way, 10X15 feet. There is one
door on the east end, and three on the
SOUTH SO that no time viii be lost by
the teams having to wait for one an
other to load The old pulp shed that
used to stand between the two mills
just a little above the lower one, has
been torn down and in its place will
be built new one, with all the
conveniences necessary. Workmen are
now at work on this one. the underpin-
ming of stone having been already laid
and part of the brick work. The south
wing of the Great Falls Ice companies
houses at Green's Lodges, opposite the
Rolling Dam brook has been torn down
and in its place will be erected one of
the most modern set on the river. The
inside of the building will be 24S feet
long, POS feet wide and SO feet posted.
This will all be under one roof but
divided into five rooms which will be
again divided so that there will be
about the same as II rooms in all This
will be done so that the ice can be
easily shipped in the summer. Besides
the south wing there will be a new
elevator 16 feet wide from the river to
the further end of the houses. with six
lifts and all new machinery. A crew
of nearly 50 men is working on the
place, but it will be quite a while be
fore the work Will be completed. 1t is
the intention of the company to empty
the north wing of the old one next
spring, and tear it down. erecting in
its place one that shall compare favor
ably with the new ones on the south.
