ing business for this city is promised at
Phoenix, Ariz., in the purchase of crude
oil as fuel for power purposes.
c. NJ. Hast, who is operating the Con-
tention mine for San Francisco owners,
has erected a fve-stamp mill at the Ari-
zona canal, eight miles from Phoenix.
The fuel used is crude oil, and by sys-
tenn of constant explosions the machinery
is propelled at limited cost, and it is said
quite successfully.
The amount required is surprisingly
small, as thirty-two gallons suffice for
twenty-four hours, being but one and a
third gallons an hour. The oil costs
about 20 cents a gallon, making the cost
of fuel but So 40 a day-less than the value
of two cords OF wood. For two weeks the
mill mas been running without hitch,
and it is believed the experiment will
prove decided success.
