STEAM PUMA AND ruEI.

Eprroa News: Tho tests made by the
"Mechanics Institute" Of San Fran
cisco are most valuable 10 miners who
are compelled to uso the ordinary steam
pump for raising water. rs It proves,
that however convenient they aro for
temporary purposes, they never ought
to he used a. n permanent engine to
drain mines. Hitherto 1t has been well
known that they were expensive, hut
the cause was allowed TO be entirely In
the length Of steam pipe and the con-
densation therefrom. But these tests
have shown this to he erroneous. and that
the fault lies in the mannsr OF working
the steam non-sIpensivsly. and In the
arrangement Of the nteam. valves, and nj
high motions in the p~ump-valvss.
Taking tho report 81 the committee on
the best pump. we find that the amount
Of steam displaced by the piston. or the
effective steam. was only ~ per cent. Of
tho total amount Of steam passed
through the cylinder, aud the duty
Of the pump was IL pounds OF coal per
horsepower per hour.
When this Is compared with the duty
of first.class compound engines. whose
duty has been as low as TX pounds oi
coal per horsepower per hour. and that
q good fair figure for compound pump
ing engines Is az pounds, 1t will be
seen that these pumps ought never to he
used as a permanent pump. A these
tests were made with q short steam pipe,
il is evident that the great waste IL mol
due TO the long pipe in mines, and sx'
perimen,s have demonstrated that the
condensation which takes place IN pipes
Of n thousand feet In length does not
exceed n half pound Of coal per horse.
power per hour when connected with
i~rst.class compound engines, and that
in the ordinary steam pump II Is the
cause OF but a small percentage OF the
loss.
In many o! the mines those common
steam pumps arc used with compressed
air, instead Of steam. and what tho loss
is on them, even where no condensation
can occur. ought To DO demonstrated 10y
careful experiment; but approximate re-
suits show that II must be very great.
Unfortunately, no record IL kept, and
generally the different engines are oil
connected with the ono set OF boilers,
and no separate account can be made
Who amongst our mining engineers will,
for the information Of the public, give
the true data on the above subject.

One by one the mines on the line Of
the Comstock for the past two years
have been discarding the light hosting
and pumping machinery introduced In
former years; and erecting in Its stead
machinery Of such power and dimsn-
sions as never was applied to mining
operations in the world before. This
change was made necessary by the M
ture Of the distractions met with In the
prosecution Of the development OF the
mines. The size Of the shafts required
through which to MIKE the eIplora-
tons. the immense floods Of water often
encountered. and the necessity Of hav-
imp power sufficient to bring to the sur
face hundreds Of tons Of ore per day,
we're some Of the causes that helped TO
bring about the change. But more than
all this has been the discovery from
time TO time Of the rich and immense
rich ore deposits that have given our
mines such worldwide notoriety.
An addition to oil this has
has been the finding OF those
ore deposits at intervals, down to
the very lowest depths that have been
penetrated on the lode. holding ont q
reasonable expectation Of their eontinu-
ancs downward indefinitely. The ma
chinery in use for the past year Mt the

Oh the brake. Jack was resting. and
the Load came upon him NJ suddenly
that he was taken unawarss. and before
he knew what was the matter. the cart
and donkey were going down hill
backwards at fearful rate Of
upeei. which increased at every
step. The driver lost the lines
early In the trouble and was helplessly
running after tho retreatins cart and
donkey. but was unable 10 reach the
brake in order to check their downward
course. Il was Of no avail. The strug-
Gle was unequal. The man had over
matched his donkey and he was lost.
The nimbls animal managed to keep his
feet. but was unable to control the re-
f~ractory sand-cart. Not until the bot.
tom Of tho hill was reached. Was that
dissustcd and demoralized mule able to
say that his soul was his own. The
outfit ran into n house, mashed out n

around there to q very general extent.
No harm was done 10 the donkey.
