Tho Cost of Electric Light.

Mr.. Leo Daft, the electrician, recently

slusion Of the air is necessary t. pre-
tent the otherwise rapid destruction of

we're 81 lamps in circuit. According

Ator was vitalized by an engine rated

reason to believe that the steam was de-

consumed in producing those sixty
lights. aggregating 9s2 candles. In
The kind Of engine they mad, 100, 900
seet pounds requires . consumption Of
Lbout one hundred pounds Of coal per
hour. 1t was IN ordinary high-speed
Lngine. That $50, 900 foot pounds, I
assume. required a hundred pounds Of
roal. That is the only weak point in
my data; I do not know that to be true;
but l never saw an engine of that form

say that in producing the light from

The Chicago Mining Review has the
following to say in regard to Tie com
lany which bought the Lost Bonouza
w are pleased to notice the success Of
q Chicago company in mining mica.
The mines are in Dakota and New
Mexico, and Il gratifying profit has al
ready accrued te the investors. Mica is
a product which is remarkable for the
case With which ii can be turned from
the mine into market, no treatment of
the sheets being required outside Of tn,
cutting and packing, which is done by
machines on the ground.
The smaller sizes and dust mica are
now largely used for lubricating pur-
poses, making paint, safe Innings, glazing
for c~rockcry, etc. Ordinary and large
>iaes are used very extensively for
stoves, lamp chimneys, lanterns. TOYS,
bakers ovens, in soies of shoes. in elect
rical apparatus, and in place of glass on
board Of ships and elsewhere, and for
numerous ornamental purposes.
The market price for mica is from 80
cents to $l5 per pound, according to
quality and size of sheets. Very fine
specimens Of the Dakota and New Mex
leo product have been placed on exhibi-
ton in the Mining Review office.

from Fort Niobrara to Missouri Valley
is %l9.S). As soon as this road is COM
