Their Employment fn Railway Ser
vic. Extending I'm This Country.

Women are n success as street-car
conductors IN Chillicothe, Ohio.
Since they were engaged one month
ago by the Electric Street Railway
Company the receipts OF the corpora
ton have increased thirty per cent.
The women were employed originally
rs a measure Of economy. II was
found that the system Of having every
person put his own fare in the box re-
suited In the missing Of great many
fares. On the other hand, II would
cost too much TO hire two men for each
car. 1t was then that the superin-
I tendent hit upon the idea Of employ

only half as much was paid as would
have been paid 70 men. The girls are

meeting of the directors last evening,
and there were gratified expressions on
the faces of the gentlemen when the
meeting adjourned. after a somewhat
longer session than usual The output
of the mine for 1897 was 81, 437 tons, and
as the ore averages over $40 to the ton.
the returns were over 1000, 900. The
company has paid during the year S425,-
600 in dividends, which does not include
that declared last evening, which was
earned in 1897. The Northport smelter
plant has cost not less than $1,000
and permanent improvements on the
Rossland property have swelled the ex-
pense account by at least S12 600 during
the year. The record is one well cal

Bullionville Tailings.

Phoebe Record: ]. E. Peck has re-
turned to Bullionville. The last car of
machinery was received here about two
weeks ago. 1t was reported just prior
to its arrival that the mill would be
ready for operation within ten days
after its receipt. but whether a start
will be made while danger of cold
weather remains, we do not know.
The Bullionville mill has been entire
ly remodeled. 1t now represents one
of the concentrators of the Peck broth
ers. The particular method of treating
ore by this process is secret. A num-
Der of these concentrators have been
successfully operated in other quarters,
and this change was not made until
after the most thorough tests of the
old failing pits there. 1t is estimated
at q capacity of 200 tons a day. Even
at this rate Bullionville will prosper
Tor several years before the present
pits are exhausted. The changes in the
mill have involved an outlay of some
$4,000, but so quietly has the work gone
on that outside attention has been very
little attracted to it.
