THE American Journal of Mining of Nav Goth saws
A new plan of railway is about be started which we
think will prove to be of essential service the mining
double track road running East and West with trains there
at speeds and regular intervals to the excl1
sion OF all fast trains whether of Passengers of goods
The speed talked of is seven to ten miles per hour. This
will insure far speeder arrival of goods trains which at
present have to be continually shuned into sdngs for the
passage of fast trains II will reduce wear and tear of
cars and engines materially and will enable private coal
owners to their trains the line and thus intro
duee competition which will reduce the of carriage
to the lowest remuneratve point"
7 THE New York journal of Mining after mentonng
the dsgraceful state OF the wharves Of New York
seems that Civil Engineer Seey has recently patented
plan by which iron substituted for wood and stone in
propose building 1t follows Around the proposed
wharf he forms seawall with hollow metallic tubes sunk
INTO the sub soil filled with concrete and firmly locked
together that it is imperyious to water The spaee
inside the wall is cleared of water the floor leyeed
made watertght and substantial iron roof forming the
above rested the tops tubes Here then
is an immepse enclosed space available for storing petr
eum, spirits tar, cotton and other goods which can be
divided into separate waterght apartments perfeety fire
and burglar proof and which if need can be flooded at
the shortest notice The position of sorehouses gives
also greater facility for the speedy discharge and reoadng
of vessels besides dispensing with and extra labor
The idea is certainly good one"
