ton. To pass either was impossl BILE. Could
he be rescued by his party? Would they
think to come and look for him? If they
came would it occur to them that he was
imprisoned on these rocks? How or by
what means could they rescue him?
AS he meditated his eyes fell upon the
singular forest at the bottom of the in
cline, and he thought of the heat-defying
properties of that wood. If he could only
turn the bunch which grew above him to
his service-ah, he had it, stills! He had
been an expert on stills when a boy.
Would his skill forsake him now? On
stills he could possibly ford the smaller
stream. He would not judge it to be over
a foot in depth and he could traverse it
in about twenty-five steps. But would
the wood be burnt away ere he could
cross, or would the lava so pile up about
the sticks as to hold them fast and make
them immovable? He might succumb in
the attempt, fall down and perish; but to
remain was certain death.
Begins PeriIOus Walk.
Drawing a stout-bladed knife from his
pocket, he began hewing at the base of
one of the smallest trees. The wood was
dense and hard, of the species known as
iron wood. When the blade grew dull he
whetted 1t on the rocks. All through the
night he worked, while the terrible fur
mace belched above him, exhaling its
green, yellow and blue vapors.
BY daylight he had his stills carved
out. They were about twelve feet long,
with a good prong upon each on which
to rest his foot and ample length above
the prong for seizure and guidance with
his arms. The distance below the prong
was four feet This would give him three
feet of atmosphere above the flow Rest
ing his stills against the face of the rock
and lifting himself upon them, he stag
gered a moment, then started off to the
edge of the flow. A strong wind was
blowing In his face and added to the DIFF
ficulties of his advance. 1t was hot and
scorched him.
MIR. Watson put forth a silt in the lava
He found that he could draw 1t out of the
mass, and that, though smoking il was
not burnt. His gait was unsteady, but he
fixed his eye on the edge of the stream
and worked toward At. The wood was
burning rapidly, though not in flames;
this added perhaps to the ease with which
he could withdraw the stills from the
lava. The heat was frightful His shoes
seemed to be on fire and his feet were
roasting.

AT ST. AIMS HOSPITAL.

There are about as many mechanics at
work in and around St. AIMS hospital
as it contains patients. They are busily
engaged in completing the new annex
and rcpainting the interior of the origi-
nal building. There never Was a time IN
the history Of the Institution when it had
so few patients. which speaks we'll for
the general health of the city. The num-
ber Of injured patients from the works
is also very small. being less in proportion
to the number Of men employed than
there has been for a long time. The SIS
tiers have gone to an enormous expense
with the construction Of the new annex
and other improvements, and the tenn
porary depression in the times is being
felt by them in a marked degree on ac-
count Of the small number of patients in
the hospital. They have taken advantage
of the conditions and are having many Of
the old parts of the interior repainted and
otherwise renovated during a time when
1t will not interfere with patients in the
several rooms and wards. The annex
will soon be finished, making the most
complete hospital building in the west
The location is all that could be desired
and Will be made more grand when the

Dleted.

modern structures; the grounds fenced;
artificial lake enlarged; field for sports
improved; grass plots enlarged; shade
trees pruned and the under brush in the
lower end of the park cleaned up; new
walks, paths and drive ways made an

day promises an increase over yesterday.

all over the city the business men who

ing the least business. There are times in
the history of every city, when business
is worse than others. and this is partlcu-
larry true of a town dependent on mining
and smelling. as Anaconda is. To cry
dull times make dull times because the
persons who have money to spend upon
the necessities of life. and also the lux

HAMILTON NEWS|

Hamilton, Jun IA.
This has been a week Of much anxiety
to the owners of property along he Bit
ter Root river. Many were resting in the
belief that all danger from high water
had passed, when owing to the warm rains
of last Saturday night, the river on Sun
day suddenly rose over two feet, and
quickly undermined the west pier of the
railway bridge at this place, cut off the
approach to nearly all wagon bridges on
the river, and became a serious menace to
the dam and mills of the A. c.. NJ. Co., at
this place. A wrecking train came up
from Missoula early Monday morning.
and the foreman found the bridge beyond
repair, and the west span, which was over
one hundred feet in length, was cut loose
and thrown into the river and he work OF
construction on piling Immediately COM
menced. 1t is expected that the new
bridge will be ready for traffic by Friday.
At the mill the full force of men was call
ed out early Monday morning to repair
a break in the embankment between the
mill and dam, and after az heroic effort
on the part of the men the property wa;
put in what is believed to be a secure con-
dition.
1t is generally believed now that the
river has not yet reached it's highest
stage and much apprehension is felt, as to
what the result will be, should we have a
few days of continuous warm weather.
