Gallatin County, M. T.Is sit’iaJer? on the National Tarie Bailroad. twenty-eight miles from Livingston and about the same distance from t 'e National Parle. 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 j n their power to further its interests. 1 he 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 daim s 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.
THE TOWN IS YOUNG YET !And thereby affords opportunities for securing lots at low figures, and we feel confident that the constant and increasing demand for the same will advance prices from twenty-five to fifty per cent, within a short time. Full particulars, prices and plats will be furnished upon application to

as U nited S tates P ostal Inspecto r H e n derson, and from M iles C ity and beyond fo r several weeks th e re a fte r deceived and victim ized postm asters, postal clerks, railroad officials, bankers and business men a t every conceivabh point along th e N o rth ern Pacific as fa r w est as th e capital. L iv ingston was th e poin t w here he ta rried longest, and the h is exploits of im posture wer« practiced w ith m ost cum i g and boldness, and probably secured him the g rea te r p a rt of loot anyw here realized. P re tend ing th ere were serious charges hanging over th e ex-postm aster o f th a t place, he ordered M r. H azey to consider h im se lf under a rre s t, and su b jected him to a deal of annoyance by sending him off on a wild goose chase a fte r certa in testim ony in a purely suppositious case. T he p resen t postm aster a t L iv ingston suffered from representations th a t th in g s w ere d e cidedly o u t of shape in his office; th a t be was in danger of suspension a t any moment; tn a t his reapo in tm en t was out of th e question unless m atters were set r ig h t and a popular endorsem ent was a t once procured, ending, as th e story goes, in m ulcting o f th e postm aster, M r. W righ t, in th e sum of several hundred do llars. T he nex t gentlem an to fall in to one of th e many traps of th e c lever rogue was C ashier Love, of th e L iv ingston Bank, who fully cred ited Scott (or H enderson) w ith all he represen ted h im self to be, and in the way of business is reported to have ex tended him accom m odations to the e x ten t of cashing his d ra f t for a couple hundred dollars, or some such am ount. H e was active in w orking up cases of depredations on the m ails, s ta tin g , in connection th e re w ith , th a t upw ards o f 200 reg istered packages had been lost betw een B ism arck and H elena w ith in th e p re ceding fo rty days.
sm all am ount sta ted , nor did he m ulct M r. W rig h t fo r any larger sura. T he “ M r. H azey” referred to as ex-postm aste r of L iv ingston , probably m eans our friend W ill 0 . H agy, form erly postm aster a t H un tley . H enderson pro ended th e re was troub le abou t th e conduct of th e H un tley postoffice, and M r. H agy did go to G a rd in e rto ob tain an affidavit and a fte rw ard to H un tley to look over the books w hich were and alw ays had been correct. T h is done, H enderson said th e affidavit had made th e whole m atter r ig h t, and Mr. H agy, in token of friendsh ip , presented him w ith a gold nugget w orth $7.50 w hich th e m iserable fraud pocketed w ith ou tw ard re luc tance, b u t doubtless chuckling in wardly. T he postoffices a t M am m oth H o t Springs and th e Crow agency were under h is surveillance and lie made repeated th re a ts of w hat he was going to do w ith the officials a t those points. H e had a peculiar facu lty o f ob ta in ing in form ation th a t m ystified those w ith whom he pretended to do business and com pletely deluded them in to a belief in his im portance. T h is is partly explained by th e fac t th a t he was an ex p ert telegraph opera to r and in stand ing around th e office read messages as they passed over th e w ires. H e also carried w ith him a com plete se t of te legraph in stru m en ts and i t i s n o t im probable th a t he m ay have taken th e troub le | t o tap th e wires w hen he th o u g h t th e schem e would fu r th e r his plans. T he w arran t upon w hich he was a rres ted was issued upon th e com plain t o f P o stm aster W righ t, and it is probable th a t H enderson will be b ro u g h t here fo r exam ination.
The latest fraud is directed at bankers and business men who use cancelling
stamps. The fraud sends circulars H e had plenty of I throughout the West claiming a patent

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.
