Immense Machinery.

Some very heavy machinery in
the shape of large rollers for the
crushing plant of the Penn Wyo.
ming smelter passed through here
Sunday. 1t was composed OF
three immense rollers through
which the ore passes after being
crushed, and when it comes from
these rollers the product of the
mines is as fine as the finest -four
that was ever milled.
Two of these rollers weighed
$4,000 pounds andthe other-a
monster piece of cast iron machin-
cry, weighed $4,000 pounds.
These pieces of machinery have to
have 4-inch wagons and frames
made especially for carrying them,
braced with large iron roabs, re-
inforced with pieces of railroad
iron. The small bridges on the
route are taxed to their utmost
with the weight of these wagons,
but they have all stood the strain
One can gather some idea of the
work that is being done at the
smelter, as well as the crying need
for a railroad, when they e these

Most of the dispatches from the
northern part of the state have to be
taken with IA good sized grain of al
lowance. AS an example of the exag.
geration practiced take the Howell
Simpson episode. In the first dis
patches Howell lay dead at his desk ;
the next telegram was to the effect
that he was MORALLY wounded then
he vas not fatally wounded but would
lose the sight of n eye. Finally we
learn that he was at no time seriously
hurt, but continued at his desk and
business as usual, with only a scratch
from a splinter, Such things make
business for the Telegraph lines.

The rural telephone lines are a

position to attempt to do without tele.
phone and telegraphhic lines, now
that we have become accustomed to
their daily, almost hourly, use. The
rural mail service is another great
public convenience and it is a certain.
