crude machine that demonstrated
to the world the practicability of
the Notwithstanding locomotive.
The engines now in use have
the ordinary type of locomotive
boiler, but are somewhat shorter
owing to the steepness of the
track. The boilers are set in the
frames with the front ends foot
and a half lower than the back, so
as to strike medium between the
fiat and sharp grades. To elimin-
ate all danger, all the locomotives
have double driving shafts and
gear. Not to burden the reader
with a technical description, it
may be explained that each of
these iron horses has two pairs of
cylinders, each pair being connect
ed with toughened steel crank
shaft. The dozen teeth of the
crankshaft bite against the sixty
four teeth on the main or driving
axle. On this axle. too, is the main
cog wheel, which meshes in the
cog rail in the center of the track
and sends the locomotive forward
six feet at each revolution.
Like the wiry little burros which
they have displaced, these bantam
engines have wonderful power.
Imagine building 3,7oo feet in
height, if such a thing were posi-
BILE. and block of granite on the
ground, weighing eighteen tons.
If such a piece of stone could be
lifted to that height in little over
an hour. the engineering world
would stand aghast, and yet this
is practically what each of these lit
tie locomotives does on everv trip.
At the steepest part of the Mount
Washington road, the famed Ja-
cob's Ladder, the track has rise
of nearly two thousand feet to the
mile, and during test on this part
of the line locomotive was found
to transmit to the cog wheels more
than FIVE hundred horse power.
In coming down the mountain
no steam whatever is used, gravity
alone doing the work and the ma
chinery holding back. The time
consumed in making the trip from
the base of the mountain to the
summit is about one hour and IF
teen minutes. At the beginning
of the trip the passengers are all
seated at open windows Teveling
in the bracing mountain air, but
before the ascent is half completed
the windows are all closed, for the
atmosphere is decidedly sharp,
even though the cities below are
sweltering in heat. The mountain
trains move very slowly, so slowly,
in fact, that any person could
easily step on or off the car while
it is under full headway.
While not SO steep, the Pixies
Peak Railway, III Colorado, is Of
considerable greater length than
its counterpart in the eastern part
of the country, and carries pas
sengers to an elevation of fourteen
thousand feet, where in midsummer
they are often caught in fierce
snowstorm driven by fifty-mile-
an-hour wind. The line up this
most remarkable peak OF the Rocky
Mountains was hrst projected
about sixteen years ago, but was
abandoned. Actual grading COM
meaced in 1889, and the golden
spike was driven in 1890. The
average grade is about sixteen per
cent, although in places it is as
steep as twenty-five per cent.

Tnt sJttPtSI RAILWAYS IN Tnt UNITED
STATES
BY WALDON FAWCETT.

Inc New WOrld enjoys tue
distinction of possessing the pio-
neer Notwithstanding road as
well as the steepest. The line
referred to is the railway which
ascends Mount Washington, in
the White Mountains, New Hamp-
shire, the highest peak east of the
Rockies in America. The Mount
Washington road, the construction
of which occupied the three years
from 1866 to 1869, has the except
ionai ascent of one foot in 2.67
feet. In point of steepness of
grade the nearest approach in this
country is the Pixies Peak Rail
way, another American mountain
climbing road, which has a grade
of one foot in four. The Pilatus,
the most nearly perpendicular of
the European roads, has grade
of 4S in 100.
The trip to the summit of a
mountain via a railroad equipped
with modern safety devices is
fraught with very little danger.
Indeed, in the third of a century
that the Mount Washington road
has been in operation, not a single
passenger has been injured. All
the Notwithstanding railways in
which American engineers take
such pride are of the type known
as the cog road" The trains,
each consisting of a locomotive,
tender and one small passenger
coach, run on three rails, two of
the ordinary pattern and a cog
rail-" in the center of which runs
the cog wheel of the locomotive,
thus propelling the train. The
application of the cog principle to
the propulsion of cars up an in
clined railway was the invention
of Sylvester Marsh, who had to
undergo the vicissitudes that pro-
verbally come to the inventors.
When, after months of work, he
finally made a model of his pro-
posed road and exhibited it to the
New Hampshire Legislature. to
which he had made application
for charter, one skeptical law
maker sneeringly proposed giving
him a charter for road to the
moon. 1t was eight years later
that the first diminutive snorting
engine reached the summit of
Mount Washington, 6,2oI feet
above the level of the sea, and the
achievement represented an ex-
penditure of fully $4,000; but
when the success of the innovation
was assured, Swiss and German
engineers hurried to America, and
it was decided forthwith to adopt
the principle in the construction
of a road up Mount Riga.
The hump-back locomotives
which drag the dumpy little pas
senger coaches up the great, rocky
hillside are unquestionably the
queerest appearing engines in the
world. The first engine construct
ed, which, by the way, was one of
the greatest curiosities at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, in
Chicago, in 1893, had the upright
type of boiler suspended on trun-
Mons, as it was thought it must
be kept vertical, but owing to the
changes in grades, it would oscil
late and form a dangerous open
ing in the footboard. Worse than
all was the fact that there was no
device for feeding water to the
boiler, SO that the only plan to
pursue was for the train crew to
fill it up before starting, go as far

COOPERATION BY Mr.. MORGAN
Steel Magnate Would Draw Employees
Closer to Capital by Giving
Them Stock.

New York, Aug. 17.-While no an
nouncement of ]. p. Morgans proposed
plan for bringing the workmen of the
steel corporation in closer touch with
the capital behind the corporation by
giving stock to the workmen and thus
taking them into partnership, has yet
been made, it is expected that on the
view of the situation in the strike
definite plan will be given out.
Mr.. Morgan has not been seen at his.
Office for several days, Mr.. E. H. Gary,
chairman of the executive committee
of the United Steel corporation, would
not talk for publication on the subject.
He said that at this time an official
announcement might compromise the

BODIES TODAY.
(By Associated Press.)

HITTSBURG, Aug. 17.-Attention in
the steel strike is directed to the
= west. Efforts of the strikers is
centered to win Milwaukee men from
their adverse standing on the strike.
Milwaukee is to vote on the question
today, and the labor leaders are conf

A party of strike breakers from the
south is expected at Monessen, and the
strikers are patrolling the town in an
ticipation of their arrival. Trouble is
feared when the two forces meet.

San Francisco. Aug. 17.-Twenty-nin
deep water ships, all chartered to car
ry grain out of this port for European
markets, are tied up in the harbor,
unable to take on their cargoes because
of the strike.
These vessels aggregate 54,576 regis
tered tons displacement. and they have
a carrying capacity of about 100000 tons
of grain.
Besides this fleet of chartered grain
ships there are four other grain carry
ing vessels in the harbor. with an aggre-
gate tonnage of S,429 tons, which have
not accepted charters.
Four other vessels are chartered to car
ry away cargoes Of California products,
but they cannot get away for want of
men to load them.
In addition to the grain fleet there
are Is vessels under charter to sail for
Hawaiian island ports and return with
sugar cargoes.

WORK FOR PEOPLE OF IRELAND
Proposed New Line Of Steamers Be-
tween Beech Haven and America
Godsend.
(By Associated Press.)

London, Aug. 17.-Although little is
known in Ireland regarding the pro-
posed new line of steamers between
Beach Haven. and America, the project
is regarded in that country as Of the ut
most Importance.
In addition to giving employment to
an army of men on the works at Beech
Haven, the Irish people say it is quite
within the bounds of probability that
the completion of these works will lead
to important railway developments.
Certainly a harbor at Beech Haven
would be of no use to the Atlantic liners
without an express railway service to
Dublin or some other port on the east
coast of Ireland, from which passengers
could make their way rapidly to Lon
don.

FAMOUS MINE is NOW CLOSED
Drum Lummon Property Near Helena
Shut Down and All the
Pumps Removed.
(special to Inter Mountain.)

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
IT ELENA, Aug. 1.-THE pumps were
pulled from the shaft of the
Drum Lummon mine yeste. day,
and hereafter only the upper level will
be worked.
In order to keep the water back while
the pumps were being pulled dams were
built at the mouth Of each of the three
main drifts in the 1.60o-foot level.
Large pipes were run through the
dams to let the water through until the
work was completed. Then men crawled
through the pipes. closed them with stop
cocks and an hour later the pumps were
stopped and pulled.
The removal of the pipe will occupy
4S hours. Water flows in at the rate
of 400 gallons per minute and in four
days 1t is expected to rise to the LOO
foot level. It will not rise above the
700 foot level, as there are other out
let's above there. Mining will continue
above the 700-foot level, where there is
enough ore to run IS or 40 stamps for
two years at least.
The cyanide mill will also run on tall
ings which extend six miles down Sill
yer Creek and will keep it running four
years.
The Montana Mining company, which
owns the mine, is developing new prop
critics in the vicinity and has good pros
poets. It has shipped 20 stamps and eight
vanners to the new mine it has opened
in Nevada.
The Drum Lummon mine is one of the
famous mines of Montana and has pro-
duced more than 100000 in gold. 1t

SOC FROM EACH WORKMAN
Iron Molders Of Chicago Will Give
Two Bits Day for the Benefit
of Strikers
(By Associated Press.)

\by ASSOCldl0u 1I0SS.)
Chicago, Aug. 17.-Every working iron
molder in the city will contribute so
cents a day to support the men who
are still on strike.
This action was taken at mass meet
ing last night. Because the strike is
independent of the executive board of
the national organization no benefits are
received from the national headquar-
ters and any assessment which might
be levied by the local men would not be
binding, providing any members wished
to appeal.
For this reason only the men who are
actually at work We're allowed to vote
on the question, but they We're unani-
nous in their support of men on strike
The assessment will, it is thought,
bring about $2.500 week into the strike
fund to aid those still out on strike.
