A New Railroad Brake.

We clip the following from the
American Exchange and Repieu, as a
matter or interest to u machinists
and scientific readers:
A proposed improvement upon the
Westinghouse air brake has been re-
Gently announced. The essential DIFF
ference In the continuance of Mr.. West
inghouse aud the new device Is,
that the former employs pressure to
apply the brake, while the latter uses
It to free the brake. The designer OF
the new apparatus, Mr.. L. Z. Slcksls,
chief engineer and superintendent OF
the Union Pacific railroad, employs a
spring to apply the brake, aud the air
pressure to take 1t of. The normal
state of the train IL with all the brakes
applied by action OF the springs. In
order to start the train, the engineer
applies the air-pressure, which releases
the wheels by detaching the spring.
So long rs tbs train Is going at speed,
the air pressure Is kept up, and SO
long are the wheels kept FREQ from the
brake. 10 apply the brakes . portion
of the condensed air In the pipes Is
permitted to escape, and the action of
the springs applies the brake. The adj
vantage of this arrangement will be
apparent from what follows:
If there be any defect in the connect
ing pipe, the result connot be serious,
the only effect being that the train can
not be started, and the engineer must
stop and repair the pipe, aud re-estab-
lish the air-pressure, before the wheels
will run. With the Westinghouse ar
rangement any defect In its operation
can be detected only when the attempt
Is made to stop instead Of start the
train, and this knowledge may be OBJ
tained at fatal cost. With the new
contrivance, the automatic nature Of
Its operation, Is illustrated In that
very common form of accident, namely,
the breaking Of a train In two. Under
these circumstances, tho break lets the
air out of the pipes, and the springs
then apply themselves from the truck.
The whole train is under complete
control either of the conductor or the
engineer. BY having a cock In each
car, leading to the air-pipe, the COLI
duotor ian accident having occurred to
one portion of the train) can apply the
brake from any a to the entire train;
and this can be done as rapidly or
gradually as the engineer pleases. BY
regulating the discharge of air from
the pipe.

Utah Mining Items.
From tho Utah Mining Journal


Thlrty-three thousand dollars worth
Of bullion has passed Of late through
Wells, Fargo & Coz express office for
the East.
We have been shown BY Colonel Lee
and Mr.. Thomas Bennett a beautiful
silver brick from the Queen Of the
West mine. 1t weighed 122 65-100
ozs.; f~ineness 974 valued at $l4 AZ.
Several magnificent specimens of ore
from the same mine were also shown
us. The Queens complexion Is i'm
proving since she has been exposed to
daylight. This mine Is situated In
Camp Floyd District.
A gentleman just In from Dry Cam
yon speaks most fayorably of the pros
pect there and promises US a letter TO-
morrow.
The Bennett mine In Camp Floyd Is
looking grandly. 1t has had three
months developments.
Discovery Of coal Ia claimed at the
"Point Of the Mountain" The ques-
ton now Is, hot what we have got, but
what metal or value there Is which
Utah hasn't got.

One Of the Bay papers has for d week
or more, in fact, since the regular
Spring rise began, been very eloquent
In depicting the ruin wrought the
demoralIzing effects, and the despsr-
ate chances inevitably taken BY those
unfortunates who buy a few shares Of
mining stock. 10 read Its articles one
would, If strange to the country. i'm
mediately conclude that sure destruc-.
tlen of fortune and felicity inevitably
followed, aud attached itself to the
"outside" owner OF a share Of Com
stock. The terrible perils Of stock
gambling are so graphically portrayed
by the rather imaginative writer, that
we wonder his readers dare even
invest in a share OF "Belcher "
or "Crown Point" While doubt
less at periods Of excitement the
prices of certain mining stocks are
largely inflated and much money Is
paid for comparatively worthless
stocks, we sec no reason for this hue
and cry at tile present. Mining Is a
venture. A mine that to-day may
be worth 800, 900, tomorrow may be
cheap at ] 900. 900. and every one
knows that when he buys shares In
any mining company he ventures out
Of the legitimate course Of business.
So with many speculatious called busi-
ness ventures.
We don't think that the advice re-
ferred to will be followed. Men come
Into this country to make money rap
Idly, If possible. The majority would
not live upon this rugged mountain
side II they had not chances for a COM
potency swift II not sure. Many o four
miners regularly double aud treble
their wages by judicious buying and
selling OF mining shares. So long as
chances for large profits on small In
vestments are presented, just so long
will the people buy and sell mining
stock.

Immense Strike In the Raymond Z Ely.

Under this caption the Phoebe Record
of Tuesday has the following:
For several days It has been whis-
pered among the knowing ones, and
generally believed, that heavy bodies
Of rich ore had been struck In the low
est works OF the Raymond g Ely mine,
but, owing to the cautious, halr-sup-
pressing manner In which the news
was communicated, we thought 1t wise.
to say nothing about the strike until
we could get positive and reliable In
formation. This we believe we are
now In possession Of. Immense bodies
of high-grade ore have certainly been
struck on the eighth level, the extent
Of which Is not known. The Wine
has been sunk over twelve feet through
rich chloride ore, and there Is no ap-
pearance yet of the under wall. This
information comes to US from such q
that we have no good reason TO
1t. 1t was reported day before
yesterday that the ore body had been
cut from wall to wall, and that 1t wal
twsnty-four feet In width; but we be-
lleve the latter report Is more reliable,
that the deposit had been opened
twelve feet, when further develop
ment, from some cause, was suspended.

The effect Of the teachings Of John
Stuart Mill, regarding universal suf-
frage, Is becoming apparent. In fact,
1t Is almost an accomplished fact. In
Great Britain, every woman who occu-
pies a dwelling in any city or town
has a vote for the town officers. Un-
der Fosters new act, widows and
maiden ladies who pay rates have
votes in the election Of school boards.
In Ireland every woman who pays any
sum as poor rates, has a vote in the
selection Of guardians Of the poor. 1t
is said that saloon-keepers, represent
ing wards Of cities In municipal posi-
tions, have In many cases been defeat
ed by the votes Of women. In London
n of tho most useful members Of
tho school board Is Mrs. Garrett An
derson, NJ. D. aud In the city Of
Manchester, Miss Becker has equal
position and credit. The principle
seems to be in ~confering suffrage thus
far, that where women pay taxes for
any object they should have the right
to a voice In the distribution Of the
funds. This Is a great step toward
universal suffrage, and n OF the ear-
dinal points Of the late Mr.. Mills doc
