while the cost of handling small ship
ments cf high class goods is made up
of such a multiplicity of items that
only about an approximate idea of it's
total amount can ever be reached
AS illustrating the benefits of increas-
ing the size of trains so as to in
crease the traffic capacity of the line,
the supposition was made that a rail
road moves one 2,000-ton train over
its line one way every day for 800
days in the year. This leaves an am
pie margin for interruption of traffic
by Sundays, holidays, etc, and yet
such a train movement in only one
direction represents the carriage of
100000 tons of freight per annum
Under such conditions the limit of
traffic is set by the available rolling
stock and the capacity of the term
inals, not by any limit to the move
ment of trains on the road itself.

MINE OF FREE GOLD FOUND.
Remarkable Strike in Fisher Creek
Mining District.

Libby, Nov. 15.-Reports have
reached Libby that remarkable
strike has been made on the property
operated by the Fisher Creek Min
ing company and known as the
Brick & Brannagan mine The report
is that at the face of the deepest tun-
mel on the property they have en-
countered an ore chute which is 16
feet between the walls, and thai
through this immense body of ore
some wonderful free gold specimens
have been found.
The ore body is reported to be so
wide that the management has de-
cided it unsafe, ON account of the
fact that the vein is a blanket, to put
in 16-foot stulls, so about half of the
ore is being left overhead, to be
taken out later.
The general average of the ore
throughout the 16 feet is much better
than any heretofore run through the
mill, and in consequence there has
been large increase in the bullion
output.

Birmingham, Nov. ia fire which
broke out in the freight depot of the
Southern railway, at Pell City, as
miles east of here, early today, was
followed by a terrific explosion, which
resulted in two persons being killed
and ten injured, two physicians ia
tally. When the fire was discovered
the night operator gave the alarm by
repeatedly firing a revolver. This
aroused the citizens, who ran to the
depot to help save the freight The
fact was overlooked that tons of dy-
Mantle were stored in the place, and
the explosion occurred while a large
crowd of citizens and railroad men
were near the scene. Ten business
houses were also wrecked causing a
heavy loss. Two freight trains on the
siding were gotten away in time to
save them.

BIG ENGINES
HERE TO STAY
Modern Type of Locomotive Tends
to Decrease Operating Expenses.
EARNINGS DEMONSTRATE THIS
Some Interesting Statistics Given to
Show Why Larger Engines Are
Preferred in the Northwest.

The increased tonnage hauled by
a single engine, as shown by recent
statistics, indicates more clearly mod
ern methods of railroading as COM
pared with ten years ago Ian prob
ably any other single item of the
transportation business. The average
train load of the fiscal year of 1889
was 1895 tons, and that 1901, 281. .26
tons an increase of 10182 tons, or
5G82 per cent.
This increase has been especially
marked since three years ago, when
the work of equipping American rail
roads with the modern type of loco
motive was fairly begun A single
engine of this class is more than twice
as powerful as the largest locomo-
tive of 1884, being built to haul solid
trains carrying 1000 tons of paying
load
According to the annual statement
OF the New York Central & Hudson
River, the average paying load of all
through freight trains east and west
on the main line of the system was
750 tons in 1899.
The introduction of % new mogul
freight engines in 1901, each capable
of hauling so loaded Bottom grain
cars, making gross weight of $500
tons for the train and it's load, or
2;400 tons paying load, resulted in
g. saving of sos, ,114 train n or
S.5 per cent decrease over - hole
system, although the volume of traf-
fic increased 8.5 per cent over the
whcle system.
The total freight carried in ton
miles in 1891 by the railways of the
United States was 81,073, ,7S4,121 tons,
or 8.95 miles per ton per mile, as
against 147,O77, ,13o,O4O tons, or rs
miles per ton per mile in 1891. Earn
ings per freight train mile in 1891
amounted to $1.63, as against S213
for 1901. A gradual increase under
the new conditions of the percentage
of expenses to earnings has resulted.
In 1891 the per cent of operating ex-
penSes to earnings was 66.73, and in
1901, 64.86, the latter being a slight
increase over 1900.
Discussing this subject, the Engi-
neering News expresses the belief
that the most profitable business
which railroad can handle, provided
only that it is obtainable in sufficient
ly great voume, is the movement of
through bulk freight. such as wheat,
coal, ores, etc. in the heaviest possi-
BILE train loads. The correctness of
this theory has been demonstrated by
President James j. Hill in the opera
tion of the Great Northern system,
more clearly, probably tnan by any
other line.
The cost of handling traffic of this
class can be very closely ascertained,
and the profit on it accurately known,
