MINES AND MINERS


At the Rand mine much development work
is being done, now that mining facilities are
so limited. The new foreman Is John Pur-
cell, formerly of Cripple Creek. Only five
stamps are running on the visalia mill in
Garlock on account of the shortness of
water supply, thus only twelve tons of Rand
ore is milled daily there now. AS soon as
proper milling facilities are obtained, which
may not be in six weeks, more men will be
put on at the Rand mine. The Yellow Aster
Mining and Milling company expect to use
all ten stamps at the Red Dog mill and fifty
stamps at Barstow If good work can be done
there, as no doubt there can be. This would
make 1t possible to work 200 men, but that
is question of two months at least, for men
will not be put on any faster than needed.
The company's scales have been removed
from Garlock and are being put in at Rand
Mountain. The Yellow Aster people now
have over 500 tons of ore in their bins-Jo-
hannesburg Rand.
RANDSBURG, June 12.-The gold out
put for this district during April was about
$50, 900 and for May about $4,000. The fall
ing off during the months of April and May
is due to the lack of milling facilities for the
Yellow Aster company's ore. The company
instead of keeping three mills busy at
Garock are only milling at one. The stamps
at the Johannesburg reduction works were
dropping day and night on Yellow Aster ore
when the engine broke, causing a delay Of
several weeks. The outlook for large
output of bullion for the month of June Is
excellent The Yellow Aster company will
keep the stamps of one mill at Garock
dropping, ten stamps of the johannesburg
mill and thirty stamps at the new mill at
Barstow. For May their output was about
$13, 900 instead of $40, 900 as heretofore
During the month of May the Eureka
mill at Randsburg, owned by Messrs. Quinn
and Pridham, cleaned up over $4,000 from
mill runs made from several mines, among
which were the following: Napoleon, 90
tons. $50 per ton; MERGED 5 tons, $40 per
ton; Santa Ana, 8 tons, $3.50 per ton; Sun
shine, Is tons, $3.50 per ton; Kinyon, 121a

posed to be no high grade ores. Outsiders

On Saturday the Eureka mill made a
clean up of thirty tons of Butte ore.
At the Oph,r mill the Santa Ana has just
had cleanup, resulting in a $40 brick
from two and one-half tons of ore. The
same mill has just had a mill run of 100
tons from Burcham No. l and are at work
on another 50-ton lot from the same mine.

Central Eureka

According to the reports of the local pa
pers good ore has been encountered in the
shaft of the Central Eureka in Amador
county. This is an Oakland enterprise upon
which considerable money has been ex-
pended in development work. The Suffer
Creek Record says: 1t is now foreSone
conclusion that this property is going to
make one of the great mines on the ledge.
The owners have stood by the proposition
faithfully and it has cost them! Dig sum-
of money to carry on the work, but they
now have the satisfaction of knowing that
success will crown their efforts. AS mat
tiers now stand it ought not to be many
before big mill will be pounding
away and the Central Eureka counted
among steady bullion producers.

WHERE DO DAYS BEGIN?

apparently the FOlnt Is some
where in the Pacific Ocean.
Where do the days begin? They
must begin somewhere, and by
clever line of argument a writer in an
English weekly figures out that the
place where the days begin lies some-
where out in the Pacific ocean. A
straight line does not define the place,
but it runs, according to this theorist,
in zigzag among some of the islands
scattered over that broad expanse of
water.
This is determined by the following
reasoning: Seeing that as one moves
westward the time gets earlier and
earlier, so that when it is Monday noon
in London it is some time on Monday
morning in America, it follows that if
this principle were continued without
limit all the way round the world at
the same moment that it was Monday
noon in London it would be also "a
hours later-that is, Tuesday noon in
London. This is of course absurd.
Before the circumnavigation of the
globe there was no difficulty of this
kind. When the sun stood over Lon
don on Monday, it made Monday noon,
and when it moved westward Gn the
common phrase) and stood over Dub.
lin little later it became Monday
noon in that city, and then as the
western limit of the known world was
reached the sun dropped out of sight
until the next morning, when it came
up over the eastern horizon and
brought Tuesday morning. In this
interval, therefore, the sun was pass
ing over the place where Tuesday be-
gan.
AS discoverers pushed their way far.
ther eastward and westward this abyss
became narrower and narrower until
the place where time changed and the
days began dwindled into a space no
no wider than line. When the sun
reaches this line, time jumps forward
"a hours from noon of one day to noon
of the day following. The situation
of this line depends on the chance of
whether any given place was first dis
covered by n traveller from the east
ward or the west.
As China was first discovered to Eu.
ropeans by travellers from the west and
America by voyagers from the east it
is clear the line which marks where
the days begin lies between these two
in the Pacific ocean, and instead of
being straight line zigzags about, di-
viding islands which happened to be
discovered from the east from those
which happened to be discovered from
the west.
There must still be many islands in
that ocean where it is not yet decided
to which side of the line they belong
and where if one were put down one
would not know whether it were to.
day, tomorrow or yesterday. There
must also be many islands there
which, never having been permanent
ly occupied by civilized people, change
their day from time to time, so that a
ship calling there coming from China
might arrive on Tuesday, while an.
other ship calling at the same time
from America would arrive on Mon
day. There must also be people living
so near to this line thst by going a
few miles they can leave to-day and
get into tomorrow or by going back
can find yesterday.

THE MODERN CRUISER.

of machinery is modern man-of-war
The Columbia" for example, the pet
of the navy, and fondly referred to by
many as the Pirate" shows to what
Il degree ingenuity can be carried in
the way of utilizing the power of
steam.
This fleet cruiser was the first war
ship ever constructed having three
screw propellcrs, and it has the record
of crossing the Atlantic in a shorter
time than was ever made by repre-
sentative OF any other navy.
If citizen of ordinary intelligence
were asked to give guess as to the
number of steam engines on board this
ship he would probably answer about
ten, yet the official list enumerates no
less than nine-six distinct engines,
giving the function of each.
To begin with, each propeller is
driven by a totally distinct and sepa-
rate set of condensing triple expansion
engines. To make each propeller
wholly independent of the others in its
operation each triple expansion driv-
ing engine has its own steam engine
to circulate water through the con-
denser, another to exhaust air from
the condenser, third to reverse its
valve mechanism, and fourth to turn
the shaft from time to time when in
port and the steam in the main set Of
boilers is not up, making total Of
five engines for each propeller, one
triple expansion, three double engines
and one single one. The three pro-
pellers have fifteen engines containing
thirty cylinders.
When the boat is to be driven at its
highest speed, eighteen blowers for
forced draft are used, each driven by a
double verticle engine.
One engine is used for steering, two
for running the dynamos, one for the
workshop. one for circulating the
lubricating oil through the main en-
gines, one for operating the windlass
to raise the anchor, one for the cool
ing plant, and two for turning the
winches.
Eight engines are put to Use in driv.
ing fans which supply fresh cool air to
various parts of the ship. These are
distinct from those used to operate the
blowers for forced draft. For supply
ing water to the main system of boilers
eight engines are regularly used, and
for the auxiliary system of boilers
there are four more. Besides these
twelve feed.water engines there are
five boilers and fire engines. which
can be used whenever desired to force
water into the boilers.
The total number of steam engines
on board the ship is nine-six, and the
number of separate cylinders to be
kept in working order is one hundred
and eighty-four.
The number of men detailed to look
after this intricate system of engines is
one hundred and ninety-six. This, of
course, includes coal handlers, oilers
machinists and engineers.
