Win. Stack, of Cheyenne, is
transacting business 111 town.
M. K. Barnum transacted busi
ness in his official capacity in town
yesterday.
Among the possibilities ot the
near luture is a material increase
in the boiler shop force and with
the increase would follow the
making of locomotive fire boxes.
Four engines are now in the
shops for general overhauling, two
of the 1S00 simple class from the

division.
Frank Simpson returned Tues
day from a trip which extended
through Arkansas, Oklahoma,
Texas to Southern California,
thence back to Arkansas and then
home. The object of the trip was
to secure work as fireman or engi
necr, but in that southern country
lie found five men awaiting each
job. He will remain here a short
time and then make another tour.
A sand blast -is now used in
cleaning crown bars of the accumu
lated alkali, and it does the work
very effectively. Heretofore it has
cost from two to three hundred
dollars to do this work but with the
blast one man can do the work in
three or four days. The credit of
suggesting this mode of cleaning
the bars is is due Division Fore
man Stubbs. The sand blast is
also used for removing old paiut
from driving wheels, etc.
Yesterday while the water pres
sure, with which boilers are tested
prior to leaving the shops, was
being applied to the boiler ot en
gine 1811, a crack of about eight
inches in length occurred. The
water pressure test is supposed to
be one-fourth grpater than the
steam pressure carried, out in this
instance the breach occurred before
the maximum pressure had been
reached. It is perhaps fortunate
that this defect was found before
the engine, which came here from
Denver for repairs, was sent out
on the road.
