Finest Train in the World.

The finest train in the world is the
"New North Western Limited" which

mammoth engine, patterned after the
famous "999," - the last car in the
train, is brand nt ", and represents the
latest and best ideas for absolute com
fort and luxury while travelling.
Besides the splendid buffet library car
really a clubroom on wheels, there is a
magnificent private compartment sleep

or those desiring privacy, luxuriously ap-

A. WELDING HEAT.

Much complaint is being made
about the miserable condition of the
county road between Neihart and the
summit. Two or three miles of this
road is in extremely bad shape, and
the officials ought to be notified of
the facts. The county surveyor and
commissioners ought to be run back
and forth over it tied to jolt wag-
on hitched to runaway bull team.
Then if it is not fixed, we would re-
spectfully recommend that all those
officers, the road supervisor included,
be roped by the heels and dragged
over the road, till the rougher places
be made smooth. When the public
wants somebody to kick about be-
sides the postmaster, then county of
fcers are needful functionaries in the
civil economy-then does the coun-
ty commissioners rise to the empyre-
an plane which emphasizes his use
fulness and affords justification for
drawing his salary.
But the main fact remains, And
the road between Neihart and the
road hetWeen Neihart and the sum-
nit of the Little Belts needs repair,
and hundred or two judiciously ex
pended thereon would cause dis
tracted public to rise up and kiss
old John French's heels to weld
ing heat.

A plausible tale Of d man who bought
a loaf Of bread and took away more
property than he paid for is told by the
Pawtucket correspondent of the Prov
idcnce Telegram. The man was in a
harry to catch car.
His impatience made the clerk nerv-
Cus. She forgot to snap the string
which bound the paper about the loaf,
and away sped the man with the loaf,
while the string reeled off behind him.
He caught the car all right, and, al
though the conductor and some of the
passengers noticed as he sat down
close to the door that the twine paid
itself out as the car rolled along, the
man did not discover the tangle until
he alighted. In the meantime the con-
ductor was having a good time. AS
passengers stepped on the platform he
cautioned them not to walk on that
string, and they did not.
1t might have looked mysterious to
the people who saw the string moving
along the street for the unraveling
continued until the bakery twlne bob
bin had been nearly emptied by the
connected loaf a mile away. The man
with the bread felt a tug at his loaf as
he stepped down from the car. Then
he followed up the cord, winding as he
went
He was one of those strictly honest
men who want nothing that does not
belong to them, and the best part of
the story is that he followed the string
back, winding as he walked, and in
due time entered the bakery and re-
stored the ball of twine.

AMONG THE MINES.
THE BROADwATER MINES.
Excellent Opportunities offered to
Individual Enterprise in the Leas-
ing of Mining Ground.

The continued progress of devel-
opment at the Broadwater mine is
subject of much interest 10 our citi-
zens, and especially to the fortunate
lease holders on the hill. The com
pany is employing good force of
miners a development, and is ship
ping ore regularly. Besides the
force employed at wages, there are
about fifty men operating leases in
various parts of the mine. Most of
these are doing we'll, and the HERALD
can state from knowledge that there
is still much vacant ground subject
to lease, which will we'll bear ex.
ploitation.
The mine is blocked out into sec
tions of 30 feet each, running up
from one level to another, and the
leasing is by sections. There is lots
of good ore to be found by leasing,
and it is matter of surprise that
more men are not so engaged. Rich
chutes of ore, assaying 400 to 1000
ounces of silver per ton have thus
been uncovered, several comfortable
stakes have been pulled out of the
mine, and there is no doubt that the
opportunity is good for making
many more.
