:,licatcd Process.
The United States consul in Liege de-
scribes, i'll u recent report, the manufac-
;ure Ct and II ade III Damascus gun bar
lels, wholly handmade, III the valley Of
the Vesdre, in Liege province. These
barrels are for sporting guns, and the
industry is many years cid, the work
men in the villages in the valley being
almost all gun barrel makers and the
trade descending from father to SOL.
The best barrels are a combination Of
the best primary substances, welded
and forged by the martelage a froid
process. The steel comes from West.
phalia; the iron is manufactured ut
Couvin, in Belgium; the coal, which is
specially suited for the work, from the
Herve highlands, in Belgium, while the
motive power Of the factories is obtain
ed from the river Vesdre. The industry
has increased greatly in recent years.
These armes de luxe, as they are called,
are made by men working in pairs, each
pair in it's own little factory, quite in
dependent of all others. They are paid
by the piece, the wages being good, and
about {, 1000 men are engaged on the
work in the valley. Medium quality
barrels are made of coke iron and steel,
while the superior quality, which are
produced in the Vesdre valley, are made
Of charcoal iron and steel. An ingenious
marriage Of these metals gives a COM
position which, when manufactured,
guarantees the required solidity and re-
sistance.
The improvement in these damascus
barrels dates from the introduction Of
PERCUSSION caps in place Of the old flint
lock. Formerly iron barrels alone were
produced. Now, to manufacture the
curled damascus, the ingot is composed
Of 30 sheets of iron and steel, each hay
ing a thickness of four millimeters,
which are enveloped in a sheet iron box,
placed in an oven and welded together
at the lowest possible temperature. Each
barrel receives $50 welding beats while
being forged. and if single one Of these
is unsuccessful the barrel may be q fail
ure, either by alteration of the damas-
cened work or an imperfection in the
welding.
There is no official test of these armes
de luxe, but they are thoroughly tested
by the manufacturers before delivery.
The annual production of damascus bar
rels in the Vesdre valley is about 3O0.-
600 pairs, Of a value of about $500, 900
francs. OF this the wages alone-forT all
the guns are acknowledgements to
about ?, 600, 900 francs. The principal
markets are Great Britain and the
United States. About half the barrels
made in the Vesdre valley are sold to
manufacturers Of arms in Liege to be
mounted. New York Times.

WRONG AGAIN.

The Miner is wrong again in its
statements relative to the candidacy
of c. w. Hill, evidently laboring un-
der the supposition that Mr.. Hill was
a delegate to the county convention
which sent gold delegates to the state
republican convention. In reality he
had no chance to sit in the county
convention, for two patent reasons:
First, he is a silver man, and silver
men did not cut much ice in his pre-
cinct this year. Second, he was a
candidate for county office, who pre-
ferred to remain outside the conven-
ton, rather than to seem over-anx-
ious for nomination, as some upon
another ticket have seemed.
Mr.. Hill refused a nomination at
the hands of the republican county
convention, and even went further,
in at first defining to allow them to
use his name after Mr.. P. I. Mule had
resigned.
If Mr.. Hills monetary views are SO
doubtful in the eyes of democrats,
why did the democratic committee,
less than three weeks ago, pledge
him the party vote on condition that
he would withdraw off the silver
ticket. It was long Jim Anderson
who made this offer; he belonging to
the White Sulphur Springs ring, and
carrying the democratic vote Of old
Meagher in his little vest pocket
Because Mr.. Hill declined the pre-.
sumptuous offer, Mr.. Anderson anc
the gang are out to oppose him. Al
the same time, there exists this diff.
erence: Mr.. Hill is sure of election
and Mr., Anderson (of the county
ring) is as sure to meet defeat.
A certain other candidate accepted
Slippery Jim's offer of the county
democratic vote, and withdrew from
the silver ticket. Mr.. Hill has actec
squarely and honorably with all par
ties. Let us see which of these tw,
will get the larger vote.
OF course the Miner is in clos
touch with gold bugs, having bee'
touched before by that element, blu
they can't make their argument
fornins@ Mr.. Hill count for much.

CAMPAU'S
Bryan Sure of 283 ELECTORAL Votes
and a Chance for More.

Chicago, Oct. 27-Chairman Cam
pau, Of the democratic national COM
mittee, received to-day telegraphic
reports from each state chairman in
the union giving estimates based on
the latest information as to how the
different states would record their
votes one week from Tuesday. This
is the last formal report hat will be
made by the chairmen Of the. differ
ent state committees. Mr.. Campau
said: "The democratic national com
mittee awaits the results of next
weeks election with serene conf
dence. VIM. J. Bryan will be
elected by the largest popular ma
jority given any president in quar-
ter of a century. He will have more
than 300 votes in the electoral col
lege. Reports from the middle
western states show the effect of his
wonderful campaigning tour through
them. His majority will be increas-
ed by many thousands as a result Of
his great journey. Illinois,, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota are
absolutely safe, and our chances of
success in Ohio and Wisconsin are
very lattering.
"The ever rising tide Of enthusi-
asm for the great cause and the
great leader of the common deople
will sweep those states along with
their sister states already won.
Senator German, one of the most
astute political leaders Of the union,
guarantees Maryland. Our reports
from Kentucky are that the republi-
can monopoly and democratic treas
on will be outvoted by nor than
10000. The desperate and despotic
efforts to coerce and buy the Amer
lean people came to "a dismal and
humiliating failure.
"The solid south and the silver
west will join hands in impregnable
alliance at the polls, The grea'
middle west is with them in an in
vincible union. Our intrepid leade1
is sure to get a magnificent victory

The buster Of the republican ma.

RECORD.

The Enterprise Of yesterday repub-
fishes an item published 10 its
columns on Sept. 18th 1881 to the
effect that Tangerman. the man the
Miners ordered off the Nomstock. was
a bullion thief in 1881. It alleges
hat Tangerman stole bullion from
the Taylor & Brunton mill
1t appears that the two men At first
tried TO make the ama1"am into bars
at their cabins, hnt lied, and found
it necessary to take into the ring some
one who understood the business.
Tancerman bad a small office in the
town, in the back room of which he
undertook to do the work. The noX-
ious fumes sent forth in retOrting.
however, soon caused cnmrlaint and
comment in the neighhOrhood. and he
was compelled to abandon the bust
ness there.
He went forth into the Wilderness,
and in a place called Tennessee Park.
found a secluded spot at the mouth
Of a quite surrounded by a
gigantic formation Of rock. In this
place was erected a rude but effective
furnace. OF evenings Tancerman
wonld repair to this furnace and
build a roaring fire, then at the dead
of night his two partners would bring
in the amalram. whi1h was retorte1
and run into small bars.
In this wav were made bars TO the
value of over 800, which was shipped
to Denver in express packages. A
friend in Denver, who was also in the
RING. received and sold the bars. r.
would seem that bars were at first sold
at Leadvillp. but the large numhnH Of
small bars DISPLAYED in the windows
Of pawnbrokArs began to attract the
attention of the police.
TanGerman was arrested at the
Emma Belle mine. where he was
stopDing. on the 9TH instant. He was
quietly taken ont by the back wav
and escorted to his cabin. near at
hand. Tn the cabin. hidden in a
small box in a corner. were found
small bars to the value Of 1925. When
questioned, Tangprman said he had
been nmplOved TO do work for parties
he did not know, and. being poor, had
taken the job without asking any
questions. However, when pressed.
he made a clean breast of it. He told
Of the hidden furnace. and finally
admitted that he had stolen the bars
hidden in the cabin from the bullion
the amalcam thieves brought him to
operate upon. Tangerman's partners
were then arrested and all three lodged
in jail.
