There is no question but there Is
plenty of placer gold in the mountain
ranges of this state, the mining of
which is retarded owing to the lack of
water. The old workings of Alder
gulch produced nearly a quarter of a
million last year and it is estimated
that there is S20,000,000 yet remaining
of the precious metal. Cinnamon are
largely employed now in working over
the old ground and crevices of the
gulch, but it is thought a company
will he formed in the near future to
bring water from the Madison river
and hydraulic works substituted for
the present slow process. OF this
proposition a correspondent of the
Helena Independent writes as follows:
Several projects for introducing u bet
ter water supply could be devised, but
the grandest scheme of all would be a
big supply from Madison river. Madi-
son river, ut its confluence with the
Jefferson and Gallatin, discharges $780,
277 cubic feet a. minute. At II point
less than forty miles from Alder gulch,
near the confluence of the east and
west forks, the volume of water is over
10000 miners inches. Here "A ditch
ing machine could be utilized To bring
in, sayabout 5000 inches of water and
delivered neal the head of Alder gulch
at a cost of about $4,000. Of course.

When many Of our electric railway
managers wers boys it was just about
this time of year that they got down
from the attic or up from the cellar Oh
out from the woodshed their old double
runners" and polished and oiled them
up in anticipation Of many coasts down
the icy hillside roads. They are doing
pretty much tho same thing now, except
that the double runners" have developed
into electric railway snow plows, whose
function is to spoil coasting rather than
to facilitate 1t, These machines are Of
very recent origin, and are still In many
ways experimental devices.
Flows end sweepers have both been
used to displaee the snow from electric
railroad trasks. It has been thought BY
some companies that the sweeper does
its work too thoroughly, as it cleans off
all the snow, leaving only the hare
ground for the use Of other vehicles on
runners, This causes delays to the cleo
trio cars and interferes with their prompt
operation, Crosby and Bell state in their
book on the electric railway that ''it is
best TO leave an inch or two Of snow on
the track when cleared by plows I'm
less the snow Is very much compaeted,
or has become sort of frozen slush, it Is
then possible to obtain fair contact be-
tween wheel and rail- thus keeping up
the car service,
The proper function Of the snow plew
is its constant use in keeping the snow
on the tracks from packing and freezing,
It's principal use is in the city streets.
Where the road runs out into the coun-
try, or where the SHOWS are light, the
sweeper service will probably prove
equally desirable. On many roads a
combined plow and sweeper service will
be found best of all. Electrical Review
