STEEL SAFETY CAGE.-We, to-day,
saw one Of the handsomcst, and we
think, best constructed cages on the
Comstock VIC hllude to the new steel
cage built by W. ii. Book, Master
Blacksmith of the Yellow Jacket mine.
1t is the only cage having steel for its
principal working parts. The effect
In using steel is to gain strength with
less weight, also to do away with all
cumbersome coil steel springs. shelves,
and chains. in lieu OF which. In the
new cage. four brass spiral springs are
used which will undoubtedly do the
work in a much more efficient manner

With some decided Improvements it Is
the same rs l. used In all mines or the
ComstocS. For the information of all
we will state that the first safety OF
this style was built by Dan FraSier,
blacksmith at the old Chollar-PotoSi
mine. from plans and suggestions OF a
Cornish miner.
