 Chuck blocks can also be made with this hammer.
 There is also an appliance attached to the machine for making chuck bolts very rapidly. The machine works au- tomatically either by steam or com pressed air. It is operated by a foot lever. and the smith runs the entire machine without the aid of a helper.
 The drills are heated in an oil furnace which is built for the purpose, and has a place on either side for heating so ar ranged that they can be heated very rapidly on one side while on the other side they can be heated for tempering. Heating by oil is cheaper than coal.
 The necessary letters of patent are now pending and the inventor intends in the near future to put the machine on the market.

Confidence in Porcupine.
JACK MCDONALD.

Last week MT. c. w. Everett and Geo. Nickerson, both Douglasites, were down from the Porcupine country, where they have been prospecting for several months past.
 MT. Everett says that he has been on Porcupine, Mckinley, Calhoun, Gla- cier, and American Eldorado creeks, and has the utmost confidence in the prospects of that country.
 MT. Nickerson saw some gold washed on discovery claim, on Porcupine creek, which went as high as 4.4O to the pan.
 Dalton's sawmill and trading post is at Porcupine City, which is located be- tween Porcupine and Glacier creeks.
 Messrs. Everett and Nickerson have a number of claims located and expect to spend the summer developing them.
