COALlNG A BIG SHIP.
Crude Methods Employed Which Make 1t
a Slow and Expensive job.

Slow and Expensive Job.
All the 80 ms of the transatlantic lines
are coalcd ~ practically the same crude
method Bargcs of about $50 tons ca
pacity are brought alongside of the ship,
booms are rugged, and, by tackle control
led by donkey engine, steel buckets are
lowered to the barge filled by four men
with shovcls and hoisted to projecting
platform, where two men dump the bucket
and shovel the coal into the portfolio. 1t
is then taken by other men and slowed
away in the ships bunkers. Five and u
half of these bucket loads equal a ton, and
tally by count of the buckets is the only
record to show how much coal the steamer
has taken aboard.
In Coaling the steamship st. Paul of the
American line AS men are employed inside
the ship. The average amount of coal
bunkered is 1900 tons. The time required
to unload and stow is about 40 hours, and
the total average cost of the work is 81 900
These figures, varying only with the coal
consumption of the ship, will apply to the
vessels of other transatlantic lines.
Effort to reduce this expense has been
productive of many ingenious mechanical
devices and the inquiry is often raised
why none of these is in general use. The
uilSNtT IL plNtll III illt SluielliGuU ny u rep
resentative of one of the transatlantic
lines, eve have had many offers to deliver
coal to our steamers at the rate of any
where from 80 to 500 tons per hour, but
what is the use when we cannot take care
of it inside any faster than we do nowY'
In a modern ship fuel must be stored
wherever rOGm can he found that is not
required or available fer other purposes.
| Coal cannot be received on board faster
than it can be stored away in the bunkers,
which, in the case of a modern liner is at
the rate of about IA tons per man per
| hour.
More primitive methods prevail in ports
of less Importance than those at either end
of the Atlantic lines. In the West Indies
coalng is almost exclusively done by negro
women, who pour in "A ceaseless stream!
over the gangplanks, each carrying about
100 pounds of coal in basket poised on
her head
In Mediterranean ports the work is done
! by men instead of women, but for the
most part with the same primitive nipple
ments, shovel and Baskets. Howard

YHE FROZEN NORTH
Alaska S Wonderful Rich Gold Leads
Almost Untouched.
PHILIPSBURGERS WILL GO BACK
The Land of the Midnight Sun Sail
to Be the Great Gold Country of
the Future Years.

M. S. Morrison left Tuesday morning
for Eossland. d c.. where he will
meet his partner, VIM Mcleod, and
in due time they will depart for
Alaska again. They expect to leave
sometime early in Anril 1t will be
rememb borel that these ~e1tiemen re-
TUNED from Alasi1,s l.sJ Iaii. where
thev had enert aN0T. t,~o -roa.'s.
Mr. Morrison states that it is the
best country to go TO that he knows of ;
that there are no very large fortunes
beinS made. but lots of moderate ones.
Placer mining is, of course, the way
the money is made. He states that
there are hundreds of miles of gold
bearing ground known at present and
thousands that the foot of civilized
man has never trod and. consequently,
nothing whatever is known of it.
Mr. Morrison remarked that there
were innumerable lodges of gold quartz
assaying high, which if in this part of
the country would be paying marvellous
dividends. Up there, however, no one
ever thinks of locating or working a
quartz claim. 1t is like it was in
Montana in early days. While there
was lots OF rich placer ground to be
worked no attention whatever was paid
to quartz. Since the petering out of
most OF the placers here the quartz has
been opened up and now Montana
rivals the world in the production Of
gold, silver, copper. etc.
Mr.. Morrison predicts that in the
early future there will be wonderful
development of the big. rich gold leads
in that far off northern possession OF
the United States, and also says that
Alaska is the place to look for the fut-
ure great ouptut of the yellow metal.
Messrs Morrison and Mcleod will go
to Seattle to outfit, and from there by
steamer to Juneau, and from there they
will foot it over the Chilcat Pass to the
waters Of the Yukon. They expect to
remain away for at least two years this

of Boston, returned to Deer Lodge from
visit to that property yesterday. Mr..
Parker has been il Montana for several
weeks past. settling old claims against
the company and getting affairs in
shape TO resume work on the property.
1t Is understood that lie has paid all
claims against the company and is now
III a position to begin active operations

district.
The Nam moth is one Of the Oldest
and best llnowl mines in Granite
county ana considerable work has been
done on it, The shaft has been sunk
to the depth of $50 feet and 1900 feet Of
slopes and levels have been ran. Sov-
eral thousand tons of ore, which runs
from $l5 to $3.50 in gold per ton, have
been 1nilled. 1t is the intention of the
management to connfine their work at
present to sinking the shaft to greater
depth and for this purpose the new
hoist will be pnt in. Ihe 10-stamD

FROM THE MINING WORLD.
Interesting Items Regarding Properties
in This Vicinity.

Bat Invernizzi who. with others,
held a lease ON the Puritan mine in the
Philipsburg district, have given up the
property and removed the machinery
to Butte. The proposition proved a
losing one and considerable money has
been lost in the venture.
Charlie Bielenberg, of Deer Lodge,
,itas-said, has recently leased a claim
near the Silver King, in the vicinity
OF Combination, and is taking out
some excellent ore. Our informant
also states that G. l.. kadell, Billy
Hendricks and George Vrooman are as
sociated with him.
Arthur Clark. Charles H. Renshaw
and T. W. Long. all we'll known young
men of Butte, have secured lease on
the Pierre mine in Granite county.
Mr.. Clark was in Butte last week and
left for Helena. The mine is one from
which some very rich ore has been
taken in the past. A contract is about
to be let to run IA tunnel in distance
of 400 feet. The ore will be shipped
to Helena for smelling. 1t is a silver
proposition carrying lead and a small
amount Of gold. The mine is owned by
DR.. A. H. Mitchell, of Deer Lodge.
]. H. Ortman, who has charge of the
affairs Of the Consolidated Montana
Mining company in the Stony Creek
district, abont 20 miles from Philips
b1rg. has returned to Butte after an
inspection of the operati )ns of 10th
properties. At the former property he
started two shifts on contract work
The lead will be cut in the tunnel now
within so feet. At the Toledo property
two shifts are at work driving tun-
mel into the side of mountain on ore
of high grade. Every foot into the
mountain improves the ore body. This
is comparatively a new district and the
ore is more or less base, making it a
shipping camp.

A PLAIN DENIAL.
Did Not Sell the Cattle in Morse
Possession

OSStSSIOu. ....-
Mr.. Editor Il notice in The Mail of
the week before last comm unication
from New Chicago in relation to the
dOings of the stock association It
transpired at the meeting that a charge
was made that member Of the asso.
citation had some cattln belonging to
H. M. Thomas. The member having
the cattle justified himself $50 your
correspondent says) by saying that he
had purchased the animals claimed by
Mr.. Thomas from VIM. Royal, and
that Royal purchased the cattle from
me. Now, Mr.. Editor, the fact is that
it is fOur years since l sold any cattle
to Mr.. Royal. and every animal l sold
to him, as he has himself admitted,
had my brand IF H.. on the right
ribs and the right ear split. The cat
tie in the possession of Col Morse have
no such brand as ear mark The only
animal sold by me to Royal, without
a brand. was bull calf, sold in 1895.
If Mr.. Royal sold the animals in ques.
tion to Col Morse Mr.. Royal can best
explain where he got them, as he never
bought them from me. If the bu
calf was sold by Royal to Morse, and
is still in his possession, the sex Of the
animal has changed. notice, also, in
the communication that the stock de-
tective was discharged. Evidently he
was watching the wrong parties.
There never was more need of stock
detective than at the present time but
any detective employed by any stock
association should be wise enough not
to watch any of the members of the
association if he desires to hold his Job.

Incident of Travel Abroad.

Chauncey M. Depew tells this char
acteristic incident of the difference Of
travel on railroads in Europe and
America: "It was at the station of
Bingen on the Rhine. I said to the
station master, why is your train
half hour late?' The station master
said, Il don't know WELL said
to him, L am the President Of the
New York Central Railroad, and if
you were station master at Peekskill,
on our line, I would discharge you in
twenty minutes if you did not know
why the train was a half hour late.
Well, said the station master, 7 dell
you vat is de matter NIT your railroad
men over dere; you are always going
chook, chook, chook; over here We let
dings take care of demselves and We
live forever. )"
But Mr.. Depew adds that, so far as
the handling of trains, safety and
speed are concerned, the American
railways are far superior to those of
Europe.-New York Herald.

Mrs. Berry convinced him that she
would be worth more to him in his
venture than any man that ever lived.
Furthermore, the trip would be
bridal tour which would certainly be
new and far from the beaten tracks of
signing lovers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Berry reached Juneau
fifteen months ago. They had but lit.
tie capital. but they had two hearts
that We're full of determination. They
took the boat to Dyea, the head of
navigation. The rest of the distance
and distances in Alaska are long
was made behind team of dogs. They
slept under tent on beds of boughs.
Mrs. Berry wore garments which re-
sembled very much those of her hus-
band. They came over her feet like
old-fashioned sandals, and did not
stop at her knees. They were made
of seal fur, with the fur inside. She
pulled gum boots over these. Her
skirts We're very short. Her feet were
in moccasins, and over her shoulders
was a fur robe. The hood was of
bearskin. This all made most heavy
garment, but she heroically trudged
along with her husband, averaging
about fifteen miles each day. They
reached Forty Mile Creek year ago
in June, three months after they were
married. They called it their we'd
ding trip.
Klondike was still good way off,
and it was thought at first that the
claims closer at hand would pay. One
day miner came tearing into the set

the nymph or queen of fairy land bids

There is no chance that his property
will be jumped or robbed. He has
left it in trusted hands. Berry talks
in immense figures. 1t is possible to
deduct half as tribute to blinded en-
thusiasm, and he will then have enough
to rate him among the very richest
men of the world.
Berry gives all the credit of his for
tune to his young wife. 1t was possi-
BILE for her to have kept him at home
after the first trip. She told him to
return-and she returned with him.
It was an exhibition of rare courage,
but rare courage rarely fails. The

outfit of supplies went down in Lake

died to three-Berry and two others.
The others chose to make the return
trip for more food. Berry wanted
gold. He borrowed chunk of bacon
and pushed on. He reached Forty
Mile Creek within month. There
was not cent in his pocket The
single chance for him was work with
those more prosperous. His pay was
500 month. 1t was not enough,
and, looking for better pay, he drifted
from one end of the gulch to the other,
always keeping his shrewd eye open
for chance to fix a claim of his own.
There was slum in the prospects of
the district and he concluded to go
back to the world.
The slump was not the only reason.
There was young woman back in
Fresno who had promised to be his
wife. Berry came from the hidden
world without injury and MissiEthel
D. Bush kept her pledge. They were
married.
Berry told his bride about the posi-
bilities of Alaska. She was a girl of
the mountains. She said she had not
married him to be drawback, but
companion. If he intended or wanted
to go back to the Eldorado, she pro-
posed to go with him. She reasoned
that he would do better to have her at
his side. His pictures of the dangers
and the hardships had no effect upon
her. 1t was her duty to face as much
as he was willing to face. They both
decided it was worth the try-success
