All these are found in considerable

In addition to these, the common seal
is an occasional, though rare, visitor in

and in such work as ours, or at small
mines. hswe time to do the tool sharp
ening and timber framing.
s'The machinery is noiseless and
safe. The gasoline tank is placed out
side the engine loom, underground, and
below the level of the engine bed, and
the gasoline is drawn up as needed by
small pump placed on one side of the
engine. This arrangement prevents all
possibility of an explosion. In fact, I
consider it safer and more economical
than steam, and when the hoisting is
done, it can be shut down and there is
absolutely no consumption of fuel and
no possible danger of explosion. -
The illustration given herewith
shows type of engine very much in
use in mines throughout California,
Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, Mexico, Utah,
Montana, Nevada, etc. 1t is built by
the Hercules Gas Engine Works, of San
Francisco, in all sizes, from two to two
hundred horsepower. The engines are
built extra heavy, the hosting drum
geared direct. The levers operating
the hoist are positive in action, and are
within easy control of the operator.
About three thousand of these engines
are in use in different parts of the
country, and in every instance have
demonstrated their superiority over
any other power for the purpose used.
They are also made to burn distillate
oil, which reduces the fuel cost very
materiaIly and where water and fuel
are scarce, the saving in these items
quite often enables the property to be
worked where otherwise the expense at
tendant upon operating steam engine
would preclude it.

a GASOLINE HOSTING ENGINE.
: It Does the Work of the Steam Engine
Better and With Less Cost.


It Does the Work of the steam Engine
Better and With Less Cost.
The use of gas and gasoline engines
in mines and for all power purposes is
very much on the increase. New uses
for them are being found every day.
They are being used quite extensively
for pumping, for hoisting. and for other
work in mining. Mr.. w. F. Patrick
has an article in recent number of the
New York Engineering and Mining
Journal giving experience with gaso-
line hoisting engine at the Southern
Eureka mines in Utah. Mr.. Patrick
says:
We have had the engine in use for
some time, and have found it highly
satisfactory and in the highest degree
economical. We are engaged in sink
ing. and of course only hosting inter-
mittently. Our engine is rated at 25-
horsepower, and hoists load of /, 100
pounds from depth of 275 feet IN 45
seconds. Our consumption of gasoline
has averaged only or gallons per hour.
The amount of water used in cooling
the cylinders is very small, as large
galvanized iron cooling tanks are pro-
vided with the engine, and only enough
water is required to replenish what is
lost by evaporation. In many of our
Western mining districts water for a
steam plant would cost as much or more
than the fuel.
'sThe engine is provided with cleo
tric and torch igniters, both Of which
work very satisfactorily. One man
can, by means of the self-starter, easily
start the engine alone; after starting it
requires no attention, except to see that
the oil cups are feeding properly.
'sBy means of the operating levers
near the shaft, one man can hoist,
dunn the huckets, run out the waste,

wtll in a Grave.


Almost parallel to the Jacob z. Ds.
Wis will discovery turns up in Indiana,
for after lying in a mans coffin for
nearly 80 years, will has been ex-
humed at Leavenworth, in that state,
and its terms are liable to increase a
troublesome litigation among the heirs
of the man who had the document bur-
led with him.
Jacob Kissingen was the man. The
when Kissingen died, although the will
was believed to have been made, no
body could find it.. So the heirs went
to law and have been at it for three
decades.
A few days ago dispute arose which
could be cleared up by the family BIZ
bse. So the old grave was opened and
the book taken out. 1t was in good
state of preservation, and, when
opened, to the surprise of everyone, dis
closed the old mans will.
By the terms of the document found
in the grave the property of Kissingen
was divided equally among five chill
dren, one of them resident of Ger
many, and born of Kissingen's first
wife. And this is where the new trou-
BILE begins. None of the four American
heirs ever heard of the fathers first
marriage, and not one of them guessed
that he had brother in Europe.
The German heir, of course, has
been in ignorance, too, of the exist
ence of his American brothers, and the
property and money bequeathed to him.
If he presses his claim now, it is said
that the four brothers who live here
will have quite hole in their purses
when they pay him what is his by his
father,a will

Poor hay makes poor feed. The
time of cutting and manner of curing
are important items as regards quail
ity.
While mistakes, do not always result
in loss, it is as important to know how
to avoid mistakes as to be successful.
One of the surest ways of killing out
noxious weeds Is to cut them of close
to the top of the ground as fast as they
show up.
There is a fairly good demand in
market for well matured animals of
medium size that are in good thrifty

10000 horsepower, acting together, a
line of free water communication could
be kept open in winter to the port of
ST. Petersburg. and he added that they
could even force their way through the
glacial ocean if the thickness of the ice
did not exceed 12 feet.

A naturalist says that In captivity
elephants always stand up when they

land and home, they lie down. The
reason given for the difference between
the elephant in captivity and freedom
is that the elephant never acquires
complete confidence in his keepers, and
always longs for liberty.

SOUND REASONS FoR APPROVAL.

There are several cogent reasons why the
medical profession recommend and the public
prefer Hostetter's Stomach Bitters above the
ordinary cathartics. 1t does not drench and
weaken the bowels, but assists rather than
forces nature to act; it is botanic and safe; its
action is never preceded by an internal earth
quake like that produced by drastic purga-
tive. For forty-five years past it has been a
household remedy for liver, stomach and kid
ney trouble.

Cat Raisinr for Furs.

A number of enterprising men and
women have evolved scheme for util-
izing the despised cat and have organ
ized stock company with capital of
$40, 900, with which they propose to
start cat farm and raise cat skins for
the market. Thomas McEntree, of La
con, ILL.,, ia the head of the enterprise
and negotiations are pending for tract
of 100 acres for the farm. 1t is pro-
posed to raise rats as we'll as cats, and
to feed the two animals upon each 9TH
er-the cats on rats, and subsequently
the rats on cats, after the latter have
served their purpose and lost their
skins. Mr.. McEntree declares the plan
to be perfectly feasible, and SAYS:
''It is we'll known that cat furs go
much into the market of leather goods
nowadays. There is cat-raising in
dustry in California, and it is coming
money. We propose to start with 100
cats, maybe more. These cats will be
the finest bred Maltese and black spe-
cies. With 1CO to start we could have
close to 1000, 10000 cats in four yeras'
time. The furs sell at 10 to 15 cents.
Also, in the thousands of cats raised,
there are some which will command
fincy prices as family pets"
