Mines and Minerals: AT the DeBeers
mine, in Kimberly, some very reInark-
able work has been done in the hoist
ing line, establishing a wonderful rec
ord in the way OF capacity for hoist
ing from a single shaft. The hosting
engine consists of a pair of vertical,
tandem. compound, condensing engines,
operating With TO pounds OF steam.
hosting from the l,200-foot level, max
ing u total lift of about 1850 feet. Two
automatic dumping sfips, five by three
and six feet deep. are used, each weigh
ing 400 pounds and holding $500
pounds of rock. The skip is loaded at
the bottom by tipples worked from the
chute by n hand lever, and the rapidity
of handling is shown by the fact that
as high as ninety-two trips have been
made in one hour. On one occasion
during y single shift of eleven hours
and forty-three minutes, the weight Of
rock hoisted was 1866 tons, or at the
rate OF :, 800 tons in twenty-four hours.
This record was broken by the same
plant Il year or two later by hosting
$500 tons III twelve hours. and on May
II, 1899. 9.26l loads of blue ground. equal
to 400 tons of 1900 pounds each, We're
hoisted 1860 feet by this engine, work
ing iii Two compartments, IN twenty
four hours. OF course this is not their
regular everyday working, but spe-
cial running TO show what can be done.
The skips are loaded at the bottom so
quickly that the engineer sometimes re-
| ceives the signal to hoist before he has
completely stopped he engine.
