The newest wonder in American en-
cheering has Just been inaugnrated at
Haughton, Mich. viz. the Red jacket
shaft of the Calumet and Helca-the
greatest mining shaft In the entire
world Ii is 4, 900 feet deep, and, COM
pared with it, the deep silver mines Of
the Comstock lode in Nevada, OF the
wonderful mines in Austria, worked
for many centuries past. are but shall
low pits. There are six compartments,
says the New York Sun, each equal in
size to an ordinary mining shaft. four
Of these being used for hosting rock
and lowering timber; one Is used for
the ladderways. and the sixth and last
compartment carries the wires and
pipes for telephones, light. power,
water and compressed air. The under
ground workings of the shaft are laid
out with mathematical accuracy, the
undertaking course of the copper-bear-
ing lode allowing work to be planned
thousands of feet ahead of the mineral
picks. The great pumps which free
the mine Of water are operated inter-
changeably by compressed ain and cleo
tricity. The power drills which eat the
holes for the dynamite cartridges are
run by compressed air alone. and there
are more than 800 Of these drills, each
doing the work of dozen men, work
ing both night and day, in the Calumet
and Helca mine.
