MODERN NAVAL PREPARATION.
Wide Difference of Expert Opinion on
the Subject.

Wide Difference of Expert Opinion on
the Subject.
From the Nineteenth Century.
An amazing confusion prevails For a
long period the simple screw was preferred
to the twin system in this country and now
in the German, American and Russian
ravies +ripIe screws are being fitted. While
these rivals are developing the screw sys-
tenn, the British admiralty are looking to
the turbine as possible means of securing
in men-of-war speed hitherto regarded as
unattainable We have been using the
Belleville boiler; the Germans are building
ships Of war, not one or two, but many, in
which half the boilers are cylindrical and
half water tube. In the British navy coal
is exclusively used: Russia Is building ships
in which half the boilers will be heated by
coal and half by oil. In this country two
big guns are mounted in the turrets of our
battle ships, fore and aft; the Americans,
in spite Of the diversity Of opinion prevail
ing on the other side of the Atlantic are
placing one turret on the top of the other
which Is known as the "superposed turret'
system. Sweden Is following the American
fashion. France is relying mainly on tor
pedo boats; Great Britain is placing her
trust In torpedo boat destroyers Our neigh
bors across the channel are undermining
many of their older battle ships: we are
concentrating all our efforts on entirely new
ships. France hurriedly adapted an armor-
piercing shell for her ffty-ton guns; we
experimental, and have now a much supe-
rior projectile. The great powers some years
since established pigeon lofts along their
coasts and spent large sums In breeding
and training suitable birds to carry COM
munications from ships Of war to the naval
centers ashore; the British admiralty hesi-
tated, at last established three lofts, and
now 1t is evident that wireless telegraphy
will supplant the winged messengers OF
war.
These are examples of the disordered
state of naval opinion as 1t appears to any
one who attempts to get bird's-eye view
of the tendency of construction and equip
ment in the arsenals Of the world Some of
the powers are endeavoring to perfect ny-
ing machines which viii bring aerial war
fare within the realms of possibility; Others
are relying on the feasibility OF carrying
destruction secretly beneath the waves

product of oil from the "gusher"
is steadily increasing, but even at
this time it is hard to estimate the
exact production The gas still
interferes with the oil production,
it coming through the tubing
when it should come through the
casing The pressure of gas has
worn several working valves and
in every instance burned out the

BIG MINE IMPROVEMENTS.
Colorado Fuel 6 iron Company to
Spend Several Thousand
Dollars.

The Colorado Fuel q Iron com.
pany is figuring on expending
nearly $4,000 in improvement
work in the mines in this imme.
diate vicinity before next fall.
At the Garfield mine, Coal
Creek. the old tippIe at the mouth
of the slope will be torn away and
replaced with new one. This
work will occupy several weeks.
The new structure will be several
feet higher and broader than the
present one, thus enabling more
cars to be hauled from the interior
at one time than heretofore.
For years past but ten cars could
be pulled by the machinery from
the mine at one time, but it is
figured that with the new arrange
ment at least fifteen cars can easily
be drawn. A larger engine will
also replace the one used at pres
emit The main slope will be
extended to point known as the
Chicken ranch, south of Rockvale,
distance of more than n half mile
new entries will then be driven
from this, affording new coal fields
and it is also said that when this
work is completed the output of
coal from this mine will he nearly
doubled The surveyors have
been at work the past two weeks
outlining a plat for the extended
slopes.
An electric plant will be installed
at the Chandler mine, the founda-
ton for the boilers for the same is
now being built After the install
lation of the plant the capacity
of that mine will also be greatly
increased.
Ben Beach and party are out
between Brookside and Canon
City drilling to determine the
depth and also the pitch of vein
of coal which the Colorado Fuel
q Iron company intend opening
up. At this time there is no
change booked for Brookside.
\ great deal of improvement
work is being outlined for Rock.
vale mine. A large, endless rope
engine, will be put in this fall in
side the mine, in order that the
coal from the east dip can be
pulled to the bottom of the shaft.
The machinery will be large
enough to insure the hauling of a
5O-ton trip of coal The coal from
the extreme east end of the Rock
vale mine will be taken through
from Coal Creek when the i'm
provement work there is finished.
The Fremont mine is not work
ing every day owing to the ina bill
ty of securing enough water to
feed the boilers. The supply at
present is being taken from the
Bluff Spring mine.
The Ocean Wave mine, operated
by 5. P. Smith and Charles Cowan

ber of entries in the old workings
are being cleaned up. An order
was placed Yesterday for ten more
mine cars. When the new work
is completed the capacity of the
mine will be increased to 400 tons
per day.
Every mine in the county is
working full time with the excep-
ton of the Fremont, and the
trouble there is not owing to the
lack of orders. When the i'm
