Electricity In Mining.


This question is exciting very lively
interest in mining, l. e., from points
where the power is generated to where
this power is required for the propul-
sion of machinery. In Colorado, this
power has been extensively employed
and attended with great success and
satisfactory results, as we'll also a. ia
California, viz, at the Dalmati mine.
El Dorado county. This mine is sItuxt-
ed on the Georgetown divide, one mile
east Of Kelsay's diggings, noted for its
richness in the early days of placer min
ing. The property belongs to an En-
gish company who formerly worked
their mill by steam power, but finding
it to oexpe nsiye abandoned steam power
the ore being Of such low grade as to
yield scarcely more than two dollars
per ton.
Manager Pearson thought by using
electricity the ores could be treated to
a profit. He carefully inspected all the
conditions of this system and became
convinced that by introducing the Same
on this mine it would prove highly ad-
vantageous to the interests of stock
holders, and consequently adopted it.
The power is generated from Rock
Creek ditch, carrying 400 inches of
water for the American river. This
water is delivered on seven foot Pei
ton wheel under pressure of ll2 feet
connected with an electric generator OF
l26 II. P, BY a belt. The power thus
generated is carried by wires to moter
located in the mill, by which all the
is operated, consisting of a
Dodge rock breaker, three pulverizers,
two batteries Of Eve stamps each and .
set of Challenge ore feeders. This
electric power has been in use eight
months. during which time 80, ,0O0-sons
Of ore have been crushed without any
Interruption of the generating power, at

selected chiefs of some of the depart

personally known before coming here,
ana each of these have made some few
changes among those working under
them, but the old men have very few of
them been let out. Mr.. William Rick

the mill. He is an experienced amalga-

Captain Plumer has been appointed
foreman of the mines, Some few of the
old employees qnit work on the 1st inst,
when the changes were made, some to
go prospecting or to work mining
claims, and the places of these have
been filed by new men; and in very
few instances men have been let out.

The NUGGET mining engineer and ex

claim, lying southwest of and adjoining
The two claims are now called the Howe.
Manhattan to distinguish them from an
other claim on the same mountain, also
called the Manhattan. The Manhattan
is Immediately north of, and joins on the

Wilson.
There has been tunnel six hundred
feet long run from near the east line of
the Manhattan almost directly south, the
face of it now being on Howe ground.
In addition to this shaft has been sunk
10Y feet near the south center end stake.
At this depth the ledge was reached, it
cropping out some distance east but
pitching west. Some other work has
been done OH the claims but the above
shows the ledges developed.
The tunnel mentioned above has de-
yeloped three lodges neither of which are
the same, but lie west of the one cut in
the shaft. The first ledge was cut 250
feet from the mouth Of the tunnel. tits

east and west, between this shaft and

made, to crosscut from this drift to the

worshipped the idol. 1t was hard to get
