morning when the Pardoe miners woulS, as
they threatened, interfere with the miners a'
Blocks going to work. The Sherill and five
others went up and met the striking miners
next morning. There was a large number of
them, all armed with clubs and the Sheritl
seeing that it would be useless to attempt any
arrests ; went among the men and persuaded
them not to resort to force. The riot was
averted, and the men at the Blocks did not go

—The Northern Pacific R. R-, of the com
pletion of which we publish an account on our
first page, is 19S0 miles long, from Duluili on
I,ake Superior to Tacoma in Puget Ivound and
there are also G74 miles of branches, mostly
completed, giving a grand total of 2,651 miles
of road. The charter for the road was obtained
by a New England merchant named Perham,
iu IsC-l and sold to Jay Cooke & Co. in 18li-3.
The panic of 1873 destroyed 11,-. ( 'coke's bank
ing house and left the road with a large doating
debt and a bonded debt of thirty million dol
lars, and the earnings on the completed portions
hardly paid running expenses. The affairs of
the road were reorganize<l in 1875, the
holders accepting prefered stock in lieu of
their bonds. asd the road was hurried through
the bankruptcy .court. Mr. N illard obtained
control of the road in IBSI aad s?C!Jred the
needed capital to complete it. The road has
two lake ports at its eastern terminus—Duluth
and Superior, but its principal eastern depots
will be at St. Pa»Uod Minneapolis, where i l
connect* with three trunk lines to Chicago.
At the Pacific Coast, tide *alc*r i® reached at
Portland, Oregon and Tacoma on Puget Sound,
both of which ports arc easily accessible by the
largest ocean steamships. On the entire route,
the hardest construction work was done in the
valley of Clark's Fork of iim Colombia River
for a hundred miles from Lake Pend d'OreillCj
the river there running through a narrow
gorge, flanked by precipitous mountains. There
was also very hard work done in making a
roadway along the faces ot high bluffs of disin
tegrating rock in the Yellowstone region.
There are two tunnels on the line worth men
tion : One .'1,500 feet long at Bozeman Pass in
the Belt Mountains, and one 3,850 feet long at
Mullan Pass in the Rocky Mountains proper :
The Bozeman tunnel is 5,548 feet above tide
waie», a::' 2is the highest point on the road.
The Mullan tunnel is spjrentpep feet lower.
The tunnels are not yet finished, and steep sur
face lines have been built overhead for tern*
porary use, with grades of 220 feet to the mile.
In crossing the mountains the grade of the
permanent roadbed never exceeds the prescrib
ed limitQfl}§ feet to the mile. The sum (/
these maximum grades, ascending and descend
ing, is about thirty miles. Elsewhere on the
route the grades are generally easy. The road
has two great bridges: at Bismark, across the
Missouri—so high as to require no draw—and
at Ainsworth, U'a-hi.igtop Territory, across
Snake River. These bridges are of stone, iron
and steel. The Yellowstone is crosxet) three
times, the Upper Missouri once, and Clark's
Fork of the Columbia three times. There are
two pi!p bridges, each a mile long, across arms
of Lake Pend d'Greillc, wj a trestle in Marent
Gulch, in the C.'or'acan Defile, 22'S foet high.
