EXPERIMENTS WITH THE ALARM.


The experiments with the torpedo ram Alarm
Lieutenant Il. NJ G. Brown commanding were cor
tlnucd yesterday under The supervision of n board
composed of Chief Engineers sherwood /eller and
Magee and Passed Assistant Engineers Morley
Gowlng. MacConnell, Gates and Cowie. of the Navy
The trial was made over a three mile course on the
Hudson River between Yonkers and Spuyten
Duyyell. Two runs each way were made IN The
morning and two in the afternoon The object was
to ascertain the speed of the vessel aud the action
of the Mallory propeller.
During the trial the Alarm made 9.S knots an
hour over the threc-mile course. and on
her own length. Tho action OF the propeller
which Is also used for steering the vessel was en-
tiely successful but the speed was below the rate
expected. The Alarm has made eleven knots an
hour, aud over straight course Colonel Mallory
the inventor OF the steering apparatus confidently
expects to secure at least twelve knots an hour
Yesterday the arrangements for adding to the
natural draft in the furnaces were found TO need
some alterations. The coal too, not OF the best
quality, ana the actual distance travelled between
the buoys was increased by the necessity of avoid
ing sailing vessels Alterations in the steam let and
smo kcstack, II is expected. will give a better draft
III the furnaces, and If better coal is used the speed
of the vessel will DO materially increased. The
Alarm has no rudcr, and is stcered entirely by her
propeller, which enables her To turn on her centre
The trial trips will be continued until the board Of
engineers liz satisfied that tho action of the Mallory
propeller has been thoroughly tested and the full
speed of the vessel has been obtained The pro
pellcr is so gearcd that it be shifted easily bv
the man at the wheel from side to side and with n
little practice an ordinary seaman can steer the
ship with greater and as much accuracy as
with the usual wheel and rudder.

The well at the Gold Star mill was on
Thursday down III feet and no bedrock
in sight. At that depth the formation
is a hard slate-colored clay and 1t is sup
posed that undertaking this Will be

favorable feature of the enterprise rs The
depth to bedrock, as it will, when reach.
ed, drain the country in that vicinity tor
a distance Of over a mile on every side.
At a depth Of forty feet sufficient water
was encountered to run ten stamps.
The mill is now only waiting for water
in order TO drop stamps, and is one
Of the most complete pieces of mechanic
al engineering to be seen in the country.
Every labor-saying appliance known to
the mill MAJ is To be found in this mill.
After the ore is dumped into the ore
bin at the end of the tramway it Will re-
quire no handling. A car will there re-
ceiye and convey it to the Blake crusher
in the upper story Of the mill, where 1t
is dumped into powerful jaws OF TINS
machine which will brake it into
particles no larger than a mans hand
from here it passes to shuts below which
conduct it to the seiffeeders, and these,
one to every five STAMPS, drop the ore
under the stamps az it is required. AT
ter passing through the batteries the
