At this point the Northern Pacific Rnilroad company are building a Depot, Section House, \\ a ter-Tanh, Etc., and many other substantial improve* ments are going on. The town is indo sed by the railroad company, who own a one-half interest in the sa,me, and will do ad jn their power to further its interests. 1he la nds lying north and south are exceedingly fertile, and west cattle ranches are numerous ; east are the celebrated\ Mill ( reek, Emigrant Gulch and Six Mile Mining Districts and. in the place itself thrift , energy and intelligence are to be found among its citizens. The Villard Mining Co’s daims adjoin the town on the east . The Gold and Silver bearing quartz mines in Emigrant Gulch are very rich, as arc the Placer mines. Coal mines within one mile of the town are being vigorously worked; and Iron, Lime and Sandstone abound Before the town was platted, lumber ivas on the ground for a number of buildings, and before the town was entirely surveyed buildings were in course of construction.

It will be remembered that during the past autumn a man giving his Dime as Henderson, and claiming to be an United States postal inspector, occu- pied a great deal of room in Livings- ton, and by his assumed character of United States detective excited a gieat amount of attention. Rumors of liis criminal character got abroad after his departure, bui in the interests of jus- tice it was deemed best not to publish them. He is now under arrest at Helena, and from the story of his career as related in the Herald of that city, we copy the following: S. W. Scott, as he last calls himself, made his appearance in the territory tin county for trial upon the heavy charges to be preferred against him from Livingston. THE LOCAL REPORT. Investigation into Henderson's rec- ord while in Livingston develops a a^story differing in many important particulars from that given by the Herald, but proving conclusively that I he was an adroit scoundrel and cheeky fraud. Everyone with whom he cul- tivated acquaintance was hoodwinked into the belief that his assumed char- acter was the true one, and that he did not clean up the town for a large amount is due entirely to the fact that he did not improve his opportunities. As it was he obtained only $25 in cash —$20 being loaned him by Postmaster W right and $5 by Cashier Love, of the Bank of Livingston. He asked Mr. Love for no accommodation upon a early in October, passing himself off draft, and received nothing beyond the LISBON, Dakota. LIVINGSTON, Montana.

Livingston was the point where he tarried longest, and the his exploits of imposture wer« practiced with most cum i g and bold- ness, and probably secured him the greater part of loot anywhere realized. Pretending there were serious charges hanging over the ex-postmaster of that place, he ordered Mr. Hazey to con- sider himself under arrest, and sub- jected him to a deal of annoyance by sending him off on a wild goose chase after certain testimony in a purely suppositious case. The present post- master at Livingston suffered from representations that things were de- cidedly out of shape in his office; that be was in danger of suspension at any moment; tnat his reapointment was out of the question unless matters were set right and a popular endorsement was at once procured, ending, as the story goes, in mulcting of the post- master, Mr. Wright, in the sum of several hundred dollars. The next gentleman to fall into one of the many traps of the clever rogue was Cashier Love, of the Livingston Bank, who fully credited Scott (or Henderson) with all he represented himself to be, and in the way of business is reported to have extended him accommoda- tions to the extent of cashing his draft for a couple hundred dollars, or some such amount. He was active in work- ing up cases of depredations on the mails, stating, in connection there- with, that upwards of 200 registered packages had been lost between Bis- marck and Helena within the pre- ceding forty days. small amount stated, nor did he mulct Mr. W right for any larger sura. The “Mr. Hazey” referred to as ex-post - master of Livingston, probably means our friend Will 0. Hagy, formerly postmaster at Huntley. Henderson pro ended there was trouble about the conduct of the Huntley postoffice, and Mr. Hagy did go to Gardinerto obtain an affidavit and afterward to Huntley to look over the books which were and always had been correct. This done, Henderson said the affidavit had made the whole matter right, and Mr. Hagy, in token of friendship, presented him with a gold nugget worth $7.50 which the miserable fraud pocketed with outward reluc- tance, but doubtless chuckling in- wardly. The postoffices at Mammoth Hot Springs and the Crow agency were under his surveillance and lie made repeated threats of what he was going to do with the officials at those points. He had a peculiar faculty of obtaining information that mystified those with whom he pretended to do business and completely deluded them into a belief in his importance. This is partly explained by the fact that he was an expert telegraph operator and in standing around the office read messages as they passed over the wires. He also carried with him a complete set of telegraph instruments and it isnot improbable that he may have taken the trouble |to tap the wires when he thought the scheme would further his plans. The warrant upon which he was arrested was issued upon the complaint of Post- master Wright, and it is probable that Henderson will be brought here for examination. The latest fraud is directed at bankers and business men who use cancelling stamps. The fraud sends circulars He had plenty of I throughout the West claiming a patent *p A Mm0, P W . ...ÀVfte m «WwWhèsrHrif and departursof#H VnrinK- ^ _________ ____________ _____ terms mmäSSSuM liquor* aoi’Ciqsn at the Bar in coimMticnf’wftlrthi»ftoàrt* «T. P . woyk for marshals and sheriffs tor weeks, as he assured them in strict confidence, and for days kept the local authorities in a ferment prowling about for imaginary evil doers. He officially obtruded his presence into the mail cars, and was especially inti- mate with ex-postal clerk Nicholas, recently arrested, and now in the Lewis ond Clark jail charged with pillaging the mails of money letters. From Livingston he went to Helena and there by a plausible address se- cured admittance into the inner re- cesses of the postoffice as a bona fide officer. There, hearing of the ap- proach of Inspectors Seybolt and Bati- nerman, he slipped quietly away and went to Missoula, where under an assumed name, he obtained employ- ment as train dispatcher, inspectors Robinson and Bannerman, who were in Livingston and elsewhere in the territory a few weeks ago, were in search of Henderson but failed to find him out, though the lattei says he saw and talked vyith Bannerman. When Assistant Superintendent Jameson came through from Portland a few, days ago, he saw the looked-for man at Missoula and sent Marshal Hatha- way after him, who made the arrest without difficulty., \ l Henderson is said to be the same man: who served a -term in the Michi- gan penitentiary for' getting ' into fideu^e ôf thé^Mstmaste Wat A in (hat sTS&tf^ild^ then rdbbîÀg tlp ’ till retain he Is wanted to answer a seriou charge.

Mining to-day occupies the position of fourth estate in the nation’s industrial greatness, and the time is not far distant when it will be entitlid to a station nearer the front. Tools Used in Building the Pyramids, During a residence of two winters in a tomb at Gizeh, Mr. \V. M. Flinders Petrie collected evidence showing that the tools used in working stone 4,000 years ago were constructed with a jewel as the cutting edge. Solid and tubular drills, straight and circular disk saws, and lathe tools were made with jewels set in metal. The lines of cutting on a granite core made by a tubular drill form a continuous spiral, the groov s being of a uniform depth and wiitu throughout, showing tnat the cutting poi >t was not worn as the work ad- vanced. The regular taper of the core wonld indicate that jewels were also set upon the outside and inside of the drill, thereby facilitating its removal. In some specimens of granite the drill sank one-tenth of an inch at each revo - lution, and thé pressure necessary to do this must have been from one to two tons. , The skill of the workmen anti « the capacity of the tool are il ustrated by the clean path through bo; h soft and hard material—no difference in the groove being perceptible, although it passes from a soft substance into quartz, subjecting the tool to an enormous.», strain. In plane surfaces the dent i and wiflth of the cuts indicate the suc- cessive stroke of a saw, aud the use of the circular Saw is proved by the regn- W lj curved lines.

Tools Used in Building the Pyramids, D uring a residence of two winters in

a tom b a t Gizeh, Mr. \V. M. F linders P e trie collected evidence showing th a t the tools used in working stone 4,000 years ago were constructed with a jewel as the cutting edge. Solid and tubu lar drills, stra igh t and circular disk saws, and lathe tools were m ade w ith jewels set in m etal. T he lines of cu tting on a granite core made by a tubu lar d rill form a continuous spiral, the groov s being of a uniform dep th and w iitu throughout, showing tn a t the cu tting poi >t was not worn as the work ad­vanced. The regu lar taper of the core wonld indicate th a t jewels were also set upon the outside and inside of the drill, thereby facilitating its removal. I n some specimens of gran ite the d rill sank one-tenth of an inch a t each revo­lution, and thé pressure necessary to do th is m ust have been from one to two tons. , The skill of th e workmen anti « th e capacity of the tool a re il u s tra ted by the clean pa th th rough bo; h soft and hard m aterial—no difference in the groove being perceptible, a lthough it passes from a soft substance into quartz , subjecting the tool to an enormous.», strain. In plane surfaces the den t i and wiflth of th e cuts indicate the suc­cessive stroke of a saw, aud the use of the c ircular Saw is proved by the regn- W l j curved lines.
