ELECTRIC SIGNAL SYSTEM.
In Successful Operation at the Cen.
tennial- Eureka.

A recent invention, which is attract
ing considerable attention among the
leading mining men of Utah, is the
electric signal system for signaling di-
rectly from a cage, bucket or a skip
when in motion, and from the stations
in a mine, instead of a bellcord.
There is nothing in mining so crude
and unreliable as the present system
of conveying the code of signals. The
bellcord has been in use from the ear
Hest inception of mining until the pres
ent time, yet everything else has kept
progress with the times in improve
ments but the code of giving signals,
which is very important feature in
the operation of q mine.
There are several points connected
with this method that are meritorious,
as it is not only convenient and handy,
but exceedingly useful, as the system
of transmission employed is instantan-
eous, and considerable time is saved by
its use, while no greater force is re-
quisite to give q signal on the floor of
the shafthouse than in the lowest level
of the mine, where, with the bellcord,
the amount of force necessary to give
a signal increases with the depth of
the mine, as to give a signal on the
lower levels of a mine of any depth
requires considerable strength and the
pulling of hundreds of pounds of rope,
and even then there is no positive as
surance that the signal has been trans
mitted
With the new method these difficult
ties are entirely obviated, from the
fact that it is impossible to miss giving
a signal. The use of this system will
undoubtedly do away with many an
accident, as it places the men in the
cage in direct and instant commune
cation with the engineer, and in the
event of an accident from the bullying
of timbers, broken guides or various
other mishaps which may occur at any
moment, a man in the cage, by means
of a lever attached to the shoe, can
give a signal to stop the cage, and
perhaps save many a life, while with
the bellrope it is impossible to give a
signal when the cage is in motion,
from the fact that it is impossible to
reach the bellrope.
The Centennial Eureka has recently
adopted this method of signaling, and
the officers Of the company pronounce
it success.

and it is now the intention to sink this
shaft at least 800 feet below the tunnel

is more than likely that the property
will be equipped with a hoist in the

STRIKE IN THE BURRo.
Interesting News From stateline and
Eagle Valley.
Especial to The Herald.

Especial to The Herald)
Stateline, Nov. led Peak, one of
the owners of the Burro group, while
doing assessment on one of the claims
of the group, discovered, at a depth OF
ten feet, a two and one-half-foot vein,
assaying SIT in gold and four ounces
silver, thus. showing that the silver
zone also carries rich in gold.
Work is being prosecuted by MessrS.
Sullivan~and Lynch with gratifying re
suits on the Ophir mine, and quantities
of rich silver and gold ore are being
extracted The Sulphides group OF
mines are being worked, and some rich
gold ore is being taken out.
George Rice is still driving his tunnel,
with the determination of striking the
ledge from whence came the rich float
found on the surface.
Dick Rich is working his claim adj
joining the Ophir mine, and has en-
countered some very rich silver ore.
Dick always said he knew it was
there"
A. Popkiss has obtained a thirty day
extension on bond from Mr.. Robert
Clark on the one-half interest in the
Ophir mine.
Messrs. Huntsman and Erickson have
obtained a bond and lease from the
Rice brothers on the Aggie d claim,
and are down about twelve Feet on a
three-foot vein of ore, running from
Sc to So in gold.
A. C. Bast has a force of men work
ing assessment. This gentleman does
not intend to let any of his claims go
by default for lack of labor, as he is
sanguine that the time is not far dis
tant when he will be well remunerated
for time and money expended.
Deerlodge and Pixies diggings are be-
ing worked by about forty men, all I'M
der wages. This is good showing
and very encouraging. Yesterday, the
18th, was set apart for pay day at the
Charley Ross mine, where fifteen men
are employed.
The Horseshoe mine, owned by
Campbell, Johnson & Lund, is looking
fine at a depth of 100 feet, and in the
eighty-foot drift they have a five-foot
vein of from $50 to 5000 rock, so it is
learned from Mr.. Johnson, one of the
owners. This is surely the making of
a great mine.

Compressed Air For the To. Refine

Arrangements We're made yesterday
by the La RENE Mining company with
George Fl. Robinson of the Utah Con-
solidated to extend the compressed air
pipe line from the latter to the former
property for the purpose of FURNISHING,
power for the machine drills to be en-
ployed IN the operation and devotion
ment of the LIE Refine ground, the line
to be put in at once, so that work in
the exploration of this valuable Tintic
property, which is located between the
Humbug and Utah mines, NAV he
pushed with greater vigor in the future
than ever before, The Herald being in
formed that the system will furnish
power not only sufficient for the drills,
but also for any other equipment the
company may install at the mine for
its operation and development.
While not much has been said con-
cernlng the La Refine, it is understood
that it is one of the most promising
mining propositions in this great camp,
and that it is destined to cut an i'm,
portant figure in the future in mining
affairs in Utah
