began with wagon axles as raw ma
terial. As cutting implements they used
ordinary chisels. Much hindrance came
from the original degree Of tempering
in the chisels that had to be expert
mented with until the right degree of
tempering was discovered. For the
dressing-down work they anchored the
axle in a way to hold it firmly in place.
Then a strip of rawhide was encircled
about it. One Of the workers held the
two projecting ends of the rawhide. He
pulled the hands alternately, thus
whirling the axle first one way and
then the opposite way. AS it whirled
the partner worker applied the chisel.
Tedious work-terribly tedious-but
they finally turned out in this way the
full needed supply Of machinery shafts.
They dug q ditch to divert water from
the adjacent creek. At the lower end
of the ditch's flume they built a 16-
foot overshot wheel. That was to be
their power plant. Then they graded
a wagon road to afford access to their
mill from the main gulch road, the
central highway of that region. Some

demand.
Hotter went to Nevada City, three
miles down Alder gulch from Virginia
City, and arranged to open a lumber
yard there. The lumber soon began to
arrive at this sales location. It was in
two grades, M sold at $40 per thou
sand feet and the inferior at $125 per
thousand feet, payments in gold dust,
not in currency. The monetary dis
tinction was made in result of the ma
tional monetary situation in those times
just after the Civil war. Paper money
wa worth approximately half as much
as gold money. Therefore, in paper
money the lumber prices were $3.50 and
$3.50 per thousand feet. For COMPARE

Preceding the time when this saw
mill got into operation one certain man
in this new placer mining region had
been in the business of making lumber
by the "whipsaw" system, the primitive
and crude two-man procedure of rip
ping logs comparable to that of two
men using a crosscut saw for cutting
logs in crosswise blocks for fuel wood.

Funds Should be Divided

If the balance in a county's pension
fund for mothers is insufficient for
payment of all the pensions due in any
month, the sum should be prorated
among all those entitled to receive the
aid, Attorney General Raymond T.
Maggie rules. The opinion was request
ed by the Silver Bow county commits
sioners. It was understood the question
has arisen in many other counties.
Nagle agreed with the conclusion OF
the county attorney Of Silver Bow, who
held it would be unfair to pay some
mothers the full amount due each OF
them and thus leave others without any
pensions.
