MINING INDUSTRY THERE HAS
DEVELOPED RAPIDLY.
ASHIO MINES OLD PRODUCERS
They Have Been Worked Since the
Sixteenth Century-Output of Cop
per Increased From 800 to
6,OCC Tons Per Year.

Edwin G.. Adams. Jr.. has written
very interesting article on the copper
mines of Ash!o. Japan. The article was
published in the last issue Of the Engi-
neering Magazine and is as follows:
''Since Japan Abandoned it's policy of
isolation under the instigation of Com
modore Perry's fleet in 1853. the whole
world has stood amazed at the rapid
development of its latent resources
and in no industry has this development
been more apparent than in that per-
tanning to mining. The gold and silver
mines of the Island of Sado, the coal
mines of Moji, the sulphur mines Of the
volcano of Atosa- nobori and the copper
mines of Ashio have all been work ed.
according to authentic record since
earliest times by the primitive native
methods: these have now given place to
modern metallurisical appliances oper-
ated by native mining engineers edu-
Gated in Japan.
The abandoning of the old methods
has had its natural effect on the output

Of the mines of Japan: all metals. with
the exception of iron, show an in
creased production since the beginning
OF the period Of transition which may
now be said to have reached it's end.
This increase is particularly well Illus
t,ated by the statistics giving the an
nual output of the copper mines. In 1881
they produced 4.Sl0 metric tons; 1o625
tons in 1855: 1854 tons in 1889: and
1854 in 1894 and since then the pro-
duction is said to show still further
increase. hut no statistics are available
This output places Japan next to the
United States. Spain. Portugal and
Chill as copper producer. About one
third of this total is the product or the
Ashio mines which rank high in the
list of the worlds great copper pro-
tucers Tie Ashio mines We're originally
the property of the japanese gov
eminent. and have been worked since
the sixteenth century with an annual
output never exceeding 800 tons: they
are now owned and operated by Mr..
Furukawa Ichhei of Tokyo. and under
his efficient management the output mas
been largely increased until ii has now
reached the remarkable figure of 5000
tons per annum.

Electricity from Coal.

For years it has been the dream of
inventors to discover some means by
which electricity could be produced di.
rectly from coal without the losses
that now occur in turning the caloric
energy of the coal into electricity by
the combination of boiler, steam en-
CINE and dynamo. An assistant city
chemist of Chicago, Mr.. Hugo Jone.
announces that he has discovered a
way to do this, and he claims that his
process will yield S5 per cent, of the
energy that is stored in the coal, or
about four times as much as is
obtained in the present way.
According to his claims, nothing
is consumed except the coal and
the oxygen OF the air, and he com
pares his new battery to a furnace
using coal, but giving off electricity
instead of heat. This is not by any
means the first attempt that has been
made of recent years to use coal in
some new form of a battery, and If
Mr.. Jones invention does all that he
claims for it, it will doubtless very
largely revolutionize modern methods

On her last eastern trip the trans
atlantic flyer Deutschland broke all
previous records, including her own.
She made the passage from New York
to Plymouth in days IL hours 5 min
utes, covering a distance of 1882 knots
at an average speed of 23.51 knots per
hour. The vessels highest days run
was 557 knots, which was also a re-
cord breaker for an eastern passage,
for the best previous days run for an
eastern-bound ship was 552 knots,
made by the Deutschland last August.
To realize what a speed like this
means, it must be remembered that
1851 knots per hour equals about
q statute miles per hour, while the
longest days run, 557 knots, would
mean about Gal statute miles. This is
better time than is made by the aver
age express trains on many of our
American railroads.

LEFT SWITCH OPEN.
ENGINEER CORLISS KILLED.


Engine and Buggy on Sidine--Bugsy
Demolished and Engines OVerturn-
ed.
To know that a heavy loaded passenger
train which had but a few minutes ear
Tier left our station had been wrecked
and some Killed and wounded could not
but cause intense excitement in our com
munity. Such was the case yesterday
afternoon when a few minutes before
4 O'Clock 1t was told on our streets that
the White Mountain train north had
collided with an engine and buggy stand
ing on the gravel pit siding a mile or so
north of Springfield station. Wild sto-
Kies were rife stating the number injured
as high as 40. wreck train was made
mp and the physicians telephoned for,
with which a number of citizens went,
the point being nine miles north of here.
When they came back in the evening 1t
was learned that the engineer of the
extra engine, Corliss, of Windsor had
been killed, and no other person seriously
injured. The engine and buggy were also
bound north and had drawn upon the
siding to let the express pass, and the
men had failed to replace the switch be-
hind them. The long express, running at
full speed, crashed into the rear, entire
ly demolishing the buggy and overturn-
ing the engines, which were locked to-
gether.
Engineer Corliss was found lying I'M
der his engine, dead. 1t was necessary
TO wait until the wreck train from here
arrived before 1t could be lacked up to
take out the body. An engine from here
shifted out the cars which were unin-
Jured. except the baggage and one par
Tor car, with which the express went
along without serious delay. The parlor
car was drawn back here, and the bag
gage car left with the wreck Mr. Cor
liss's body was brought here to the Con-
ley undertaking rooms. and after being
properly cared, for taken to his late
home in Windsor.

him; that he found it himself in gar
ret, under a pile of rubbish; and that
he then and there solemnly rebuked
the Philadelphians for their neglect of
so precious a relic. Nobody will be
