STARTED TO WORK.
Six to Ten Cars the Daily Output of the
Cottonwood Company.

Six to Ten Cars the Daily Output of the
Cottonwood Company.
Great Falls, June Son Thursday the
Cottonwood Coal company started its
tipple to work, dumping the coal direct
into the cars on the railway track. The
working Of the tipple was only an ex-
pertinent on that day. and the expert
ment was confined to the dumping of
three cars only. The Cottonwood Coal
company, of which Lewis Stockett is
the manager, own and operate w
mines at Stockett, which are known as
No. 1 and No. 2 mines, one on either
side of Left Cottonwood coulee. The
coal 10 brought from both mines down a
heavy slope and over q trestle built in
the form Of a Y to one tipple. There
Is one main and two sets of cross en-
tries In No. 2 mine. Mining machines
operated with the aid of compressed air
will be used In both mines where 1t is
found convenient. Ventilation SUFFICIENT
for all purposes is supplied by fans.
The engine of the haulage plant is from
the Litchfeld Car and Machine works of
Litchfield, Ill, and is the largest in use
at any coal mine west of the MISSISSIPPI
70 river. Excellent water. which Is
used by the coal company In their boil
ers, by the Montana Central in their
engines and by the Inhabitants OF Stock
EFT for drinking purposes. is
in four and one-half inch pipes from a
large spring on George Kessners' ranch,
one and a half miles distant. At the
present time the company employs
about 200 men In and around the mine.
The foremen are: Charles ]. Ramsay.
outside; w. H. Irwin, inside, No. !, and
Harry Morton, inside. No. 2. The daily
output of coal for the present will be
from six to ten carloads per day.

4 NEW ROTARY ENGINE
A Montana Invention of Great
Possibilities.
IT Is CHEAP AND SIMPLE
IL Works - Noiselessly a. . Bicycle
and It . Test Developed $50
Revolutions With Five
Pounds OF Steam.

Great Falls, June Sc. c. Garrett
writes from Kipp. on the Blackfeet res
ervation, that Thomas Shortlin. who
has charge Of motive power at Black
foot. and William willerton. a con-
ductor on the extension of the Great
Northern. ave just received letters of
patent from Washington On a rotary en-
CINE. The patents cover England and
Canada, In addition to this country.
The inventors have worked for several
years on their continuance, ana believe
that they now have it as nearly perfect
as possible, and that in time II will rev.
olutioniZe the method of converting the
expansive bower Of steam into motor
power.
The inventors claim for their engine
that 1t is cheap and simple in con-
struction, has no cranks or rods to get
out Of order, and in form is exceeding
ly compact. Moreover. they say that
II will give so per cent more motive
power with the same pressure space
and same head of steam. 1t can be
worked either single. double or COM
pound, and being steam balanced n
the friction reduced to a minimum, 1t
will outwear a dozen ordinary en-
gines. 1t was the original intention
OF the inventors to make an engine
which from the compactness of its form
could be utilized by miners where econ
omy Of space and weight was a neces-
city. They are sure that they have
met his requirement, and In addition
have a form OF engine which can be
utilized for any purpose. A IL horse
power engine will weigh not to exceed
200 pounds, and engines of the same
pattern car be built from the size of a
watch to that OF the Ferris wheel. Mr..
Shortliff adds hat they will be "as
cheap as tobacco boxes, too"
Messrs. Shortlif and Willerton have
applied for space at the Omaha exposi-
ton in which to display their invention,
and expect to rave a working model
there very soon. The Scientific Amer
lear will also have an illustrated article
on the engine in an early issue.
A trial test of the engine made a few
days ago in the presence Of Mr.. Gar
rett Inc other invited guests showed
that the engine, with only five pounds
OF steam pressure on the dial of the
steam gauge. developed a speed in the
rotary of $50 revolutions a minutes. The
engine worked noiselessly as a bicycle.
and the test was but an intima ton Of
the wonderful possibilities within its
range.

A Deluge of Water and Hail Taxes tho
Great Falls Sewers.

Great Falls sewers.
Great Falls, June 5.-What closely
approached a c~loudburst was seen here
this afternoon. Shortly after 4 o'clock
a huge black cloud surcharged with
ain rolled up from the western hori-
zon. In a few nj the wind came
in heavy gusts, and this was followed
by a deluge of water and some hail.
Torrents poured down the sides Of the
streets n avenues, and tonight the
thoroughfares are lakes of thin mud,
while every low spot in the city IL q
frog pond. The sewers are taxed TO the
limit OF their capacity TO carry Off the
surface water. which is pouring into
them In a full stream. The storm was
the hardest experienced In this vicinity
for years and was accompanied by fire.
Quent and heavy lightning. Fifty-hvs
one-hundredths Of an inch OF rain fell
in less than 80 minutes. which makes
the months record over two inches al
ready.
Down al Fort Benton the weather
bureau reports a fall OF five inches in
the IL days preceding Saturday. As
this section has an average rainfall Of
only IA inches annually, 1t would look
as IL this years supply was coming in
a bunch. No casualties are yet re-
ported as the result of the heavy rains,
but 1t Is reported that the Teton has
cut a new channel for itself. and the
county bridge il o spanning what
will become a dry channel as soon as
the hood subsidies. The mountainous
portions of this and neighboring coun-
ties have had snow in place of rain,
and there Is now a heavy body of snow

BELT CREEK RISING.


Banks Of the Stream Are Being WAshed
Away.
Special Dispatch to the STANDARD.
Belt, June SILVER since the spring
rise in Belt creek began the waters have
been washing away the banks of the
many places the ann Of the stream
has been entirely changed. The recent
heavy rains are bringing the waters up
again and to those people who live very
near to the banks 1t is bringing q con-
siderable anxiety. About 80 feet Of the
bank along Island park has been washed
away and even more than that in other
places. A dwelling house up near the
coke ovens. which stood 30 feet from
the stream. had to be moved, az the
bank fell away up to the building and
more was going. There In no doubt
many OF the buildings on the low nat
in the south part Of town will have to
be moved when the water recedes. 20
that will be possible. Down below the
wagon bridge there il . building an
chored to a tree with n heavy rope.
Should the water get quite high again
IL IL quite possible tree and all may 20
down the stream.
The steam bath house, which stands
along the bank back OF the company
store, came very nearly being precipi-
tated into the stream on Friday after
noon. The building STANDS very near TO
the waters edge. On the sid next to
the creek was a stone foundation about
six feet high. The water ate away the
bank under this foundation and about 2
O'Clock the entire wall tumbled into the
water. The family living in the rooms
above the bath rooms hurriedly made
their escape and succeeded In removing
their effects. Had m foot more of the
north and south walls gone the building
would have toppled over into the river
and I'm all probability the inmates would
have been drowned. The building has
been braced up SO a unless more of
the foundation wall goes out IL will
probably remain standing.

Wanted some Pointers.

Great Falls. June 5.-Hugh Gilchrist,
secretary Of the New England society
of this city, received a letter from
Butte, which states that a similar So
ciety is about to be organized there.
and desiring to learn on what lines the
Great Falls association was formed.
The executive committee of the Great
Falls society Is preparing to hold a
basket picnic and moonlight excursion
on the river sometime this month. pro-
vided the heavens do not pour out all
of their floods in the meantime. An
excursion of this kin was held last
year and proved very enjoyable. IL Is
likely that the AFFAIR will be closely
confined to members of the organiza-
ron and their families.

alton of the Spanish soldiers began today.
-Four hundred men, of whom 200 were
sick and 200 belonged to the engineer
corps, sailed for Havre on board the
French steamer Chateau Latte. Eight
hundred infantry belonging to the As.
turias battalion, asl will sail tomorrow on
