1t may seem almost self-evident that
one of the secrets in conducting min
ing operations so as to secure maxi
mum of protit-the point naturally to
be aimed ats to get the largest
amount of work that is possible out of
each man employed, without "sweat-
ing" him, but at the same time without
overpaying him. and to secure the
most useful effect that can be got out
of the various machines in use, up to
the full limit of their capacity, in the
shortest possible time, without over
taxing them: that is to say, speaking
generally, it depends on making the
best use possible of the men and ma
terials, placed by circumstances at the
disposal of the manager of mine,
says A. G. Charleton, in the Engineer
ing Magazine for November.
Obvious as this proposition may ap-
pear in principle, however, it is appar-
emily by no means always recognized,
or acted upon in practice. Managers,
indeed, often seem to fail to grasp the
fact that the value, whether of men or
machines, is the profit translated into
money which their work represents
when spread over given period of
time; consequently, the net profit or
loss resulting from the undertaking is
the difference between what I may
term the profitable and Improbable
units of work" accomplished in the
aggregate.
If the former exceed the latter the
business as a whole must necessarily
be profitable, and vice versa; but it is
often the case that individual careless
ness or departmental inefficiency may
reduce, if not entirely wipe out, profits
actually earned in other directions, in
which work has been executed with
greater relative economy.

Will Davis, Ben Combs and Knox
Mount, We ancient cowboys of the good
old line, and hailing from Grubb's
outfit, spent last week in rounding up
cattle, succeeding in ''clean up'' of
200. They were just barely late in
rescuing two young calves, born on
the beautiful, but unfeeling snow at
Coal Basin. At Boerhus basin the
cattle were completely showed in and
they had hard time in the work OF
rescue, sometimes being compelled to
roll their horses down the sides OF
snow drifts, 200 or 300 feet deep, and
sliding down after them.

Uses of Metals.

With lead by far the greater portion
is converted into white metal, red lead
and orange material, which are used
as pigments Of paints, distributed over
great surfaces in such thin coatings
that their metallic contents is practic-
ally never recovered. A good deal of
lead is manufactured into sheets and a
considerable portion into bullets, shot
and other projectiles; and though still
remaining in metallic form it is SO
widely distributed in use as to cause it
to be practically irrecoverable in the
form of scrap. A portion of the lead
product used as sheet lead and pipes
does come back into the market, but
the portion of the lead used in these
ways is comparatively small as com
pared with the other uses of the metal.
The consumption of zinc is largely
in galvanized steel or iron sheets, in
the manufacture of brass, as sheet
zinc, and as the oxide of zinc used
as pigment in paint. That portion
of the metal which is used in galvan-
izing is distributed as a thin covering
over large surfaces of iron and the
metal is entirely lost in the oxidizing
and general disintegration of the zinc
sheet. 1t has never been attempted to
recover the zinc from galvanized iron.
Zinc, which is manufactured into brass,
in the proportion of one-third zinc to
two-thirds copper, remains in a per-
manent form which is often available
for new Use as scrap. and, next to iron
and steel, is the largest commodity in
the scrap metal market.
The major portion of the tin product
of the world is used in covering tin
plates. Ordinary tin plates carry one
and one-half to three and one-half per
cent. of tin. Many attempts have been
scrap, but no considerable amount of
metal has thus returned to the markets
of the world as recovered from tin
scrap up to the present time.
OF the common metals next to iron
and steel, copper is the one which is
used to the largest extent in the metal
lie form, only small proportion of
the production being utilized in the
salts of copper, blue vitriol (the salts
of copper used in galvanic batteries J
being the principal salt of the metal
used in the market. The great uses of
copper are in the manufacture of brass
of which it forms a two-thirds COM
ponent part ordinarily, and in cleo
trical conductors, and in the form of
sheet used in roofing, the bottoms of
cooking and other utensils, in the
manufacture of pipes to be used where
considerable amount of elasticity
and pliability are required. The pro-
portion of scrap copper for sale in the
market is greater than that of any
other metals, with the exception of
iron and steel; but the total amount of
old copper offered for sale is COM
paratively insignificant compared with
the total copper production.-Daily

A recently discovered process for the
preservation of wood consists OF boil

ulphates $50 per cent. of the former
md 30 per cent. of the latter J, to which
added a certain proportion of sui
Phates of alumina, potash and mag
pesia, according to the character OF

p this treatment is that the sap is dis
'olved and washed out from the pores
the wood, all decay that has begun
stopped and the fibre is chemically
TERED SO that it is not capable of de-
ny in the ordinary way.
