American Locomotives in Europe.
From the Engineering Magazine.


In the details Of locomotive construction
the practice of Europe follows later. but
surely, the results of experience obtained
in the United States-which are the pio-
neers in the production of forms suited
to large units. In the adoption of the
pilot truck. outside cylinders large boil
ers. Hanged smokebox tube plates. wide
fireboxes, sloped front water legs. sloped
boiler heads, vertical gussets and dag
onal rods for staying the latter, American
wheel arrangements and the reintroduc-
ton Of bar frames, Europe has learned
the fitness of American arrangements
But not until faced with urgent necessity
have the transatlantic forms been adopt
ed, for-and II would be foolish to conceal
the fact-European experience of Amer
lean materials, American workmanship
and American design of cylinders, and all
that belongs to the motion. has been such
as to prejudice the mind greatly against
American types. The most progressive
designers and makers have reasoned that
the American system was good, but that
the construction materials or details i'm
the form were susceptible Of improve
ment.

MILLERS NEARLY
WASHED AWAY
HIGH WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN
STORMS DOES SOME
DAMAGE.

A high wind, accompanied by an
immense volume of water swept
down upon Millers Sunday morning
about IL o'clock. For time it was
thought that many buildings would be
washed away. The roof of the grand
stand at the ball ground was blown
off, carrying the supports with it. On
the diamond there were fully six in
ches of water. Ballast under the
railway track at number of places
was washed out, but section hands
speedily repaired the break, so there
was practically no interference with
railway travel. A phone to this city
called of the ball game that was to
have been played between the Mon
tanas and Millers teams.

the afternoon in greeting many of the
old-timers. Conditions at Millets,"
said Mr.. Evans, ARE on the improve.
Prospectors are in the hills and are
making some good finds. Many in
quiries from outside people are COM

were such that we were forced to
cease operations for while, but on
my return from San Francisco we
shall resume with a large force of

feet of groupings that give 1888 a
ton. We now have tunnel in PIP
feet and the values are becoming
stronger with every foot of work. On
another ledge we have run a tunnel
148 feet, which also shows values in
creasing right along.
From the Summit canyon proper

feature of the program is the great
'"Elk's Parade" in Philadelphia. 1t
is one of the best outdoor pictures
ever taken and shows every move
ment with surprising distinctness.
The floral decorations, beautiful
horses, carriages, automobiles, etc.,
go to make up part of one of the
grandest parades ever witnessed. No

is well worth the price of admission

GRIMES PROPERTY

NINE AT GOLD REEF HAS GOOD
ORE ON THE DUMP AND
HARD AT WORK.

A visit to Good Reef was made
yesterday for the purpose of looking
into work being done in that district.
The Grimes property, which has
been worked for several months, as
far as they have gone gives very fiat
tering results. The shaft is down
about fifty-three feet in depth and
the ledge is increasing in width and
values The leasers now have several
tons of high grade on the dump and
within short time will make ship
ment. They have just completed in
stalling within and the work of sink
ing can be prosecuted much faster
than before. There are a number of
lodges on the surface which when as
sayed give large returns. This is the
first property to be worked by leas-
ers in this district.
On the Enquist lease. two shifts
are working, starting the middle of
last week. While they have attained
depth of but twelve feet they have
apparently encountered a nice vein
of ore.
On the Bowler-Herman lease they
are down about thirty-eight feet. The
bottom of the shaft shows a seam of
tale Which contains values of high
grade. They have nice little bunch
of high grade on the dump.

in this district, will arrive in this city

one of grand solimly and beauty.
The Rev. Ywingle is one of Tenness-

formed between the minister and bride
something over two years ago, when
the bride with lady friend made a

of the Rev. Zwingle, a promise made
by the two young ledies, should they
be so fortunate as to find a sweetheart
the marriage vow should be consoma-
ted by none other than the Rev. Twin
gle His presence on this occasion and
leaving his responsible charge and com
ing so far attested the high esteem and
friendship in which he held the charm
ing bride
Lovely autumn leaves, flowers and
trailing vines decorated the home into a
scene of wild wood beauty Ap-umn
boughs tented with brown crimson and
gold made beautiful setten for the
bride who wore a handsome tailored
suit and hat of russet brown. heirlooms

worn, and shower bouquet of cream

completed the harmonious scene.
