STEAM SHOVEL IN MINING.
Its Introduction in Utah Copper
Camps Attracts Attention.

Inc use OF steam shovels in mining. now
that they are being introduced at the
copper mines of Bingham and Newhouse
is subject that is being discussed by
mining journals all over the world Min
ing and Scientific Press talks this way:
Steam shovels have been used success
IuIly Tor stripping the iron ore of the
MeSabi range, Minnesota, and also in
Michigan, and it is interesting to note
the application of them TO copper min
ing. At the Cactus mine, in Utah con-
trolled by Samuel Newhouse the steam
shovel is turning over 800 to 400 tons per
ten hours, and Lafayette Hanchett the
factory
1T is proposed to adopt this practice
in eXcaVating the superficial portion of
the large ore bodies at Ely, New. At Nit
Morgan. in Queensland, the same machine
is being used to handle a gold ore as it
IS broken in large open cuts on the side
of hill
Some of the best work of the kind is
done at the Virginia mine of the Oliver
iron Mining company, on the Mesa bi
range, where excavations are now forty
to fifty feet below the surface. There the
steam shovel handles $500 tons per ten
hours, lifting three cubic yards per dipper
AT the Cactus the rate of working is
only three-quarters of a yard per shovel
ful but as applied to copper ore the prac-
t1ce is, as yet. in it's infancy. 1t is an in
teresting development of practice and
seems applicable to deposits of dissemi-
mated copper in soft porphyry such as
are found outcropping at several local
tues IN Utah and Nevada

BACK FROM NEVADA MINES.
Lively Campaigns Are Planned by
Superior and Antelope SPRINGS.

Ford w. CorreN, manager of the Ne
vada Superior and Antelope Spring com
panies' properties, in Humboldt coHDtv
Nevada returned from a ten davs' trim
TO camp yesterday morning, mpanied
by the party of eastern men who came
out short time ago TO size up Conditions
Tor themselves Not one Of them but ex-
pleased with what was doing and wifi
the value OF the properties as shown by
development.
At the Nevada Superior the shaft bas
reached the 300-foot level and every inch
of the distance has been in ore During
the trip to the mine Manager C,o,.reII ir

City as a shift boss at the DaIy-West a &

on the Antelope Spring companys
ground as well. He returns a most en-
thus1astc exponent of the value of the
properties and is able to see where both
companies are going to make great mines
At the Antelope a contract for 4OO feet
of tunnel work was awarded and the
contractors have already begun work
The long tunnel on the Superior will be
started on or about the first of the month
when Marager COrrell gets back to camp
The Antelope tunnel will open up the
vein for about 200 feet deeper than the old
tunnel has developed the ore and from
which workings shipments OF better than
$40 ore will begin during the next week
or two, or as soon as the roads leading to
the railroad are in good condition for
hauling.
These two properties are mentioned to-
gether because they end-line each other
and because they cover what is conceded
TO be one OF the most remarkable true
fiSSure veins in the state of Nevada for
a distance of three and one-half miles In
this distance numerous tunnels, shafts,

GRAIN. AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, April 26.-Except for occasional
spurts of activity the wheat market was
dull and much of the trading consisted of
changing from May to the July delivery.
There was also considerable straight
liquidation by holders of the Nav option
Crop news was conflicting. but during the
early part of the session advices from
the southwest seemed to become favor
able to the bears, several reports denying
damage by dry weather The market was
further weakened by a weather bureau
damage reports were received and this
started fair buying of July and assisted in
steadier feeling Many local traders
who had sold short early in the session
were moderate buyers during the last
hour. The market closed steady JULY

Scattered liquidation by holders of the
May option had a weakening effect on the
corn market Increased local receipts was
the factor that induced the selling. Trad

was easy. July opened a shade to sc

ranged between 461L61i7 and closed at 465sG

Oats were quite firm early because of
an active demand by cash interests and
pit traders. Weakness of wheat how
ever, caused considerable selling later in
the session and resulted in an easier tone.
July opened unchanged at 81. sold up to
21sG31I4 and then reacted to 30s1 G307sc.

At last Richmond Pearson Hobson
gets that nomination for Congress
down in Alabama and presumably the
election will follow. He has been
strenuousiy on the trail of it for half
dozen years and his pathway to
success has by no means been one Of
roses. While his old neighbOrs have
been proud enough of him as naval
hero and have followed with interest
his successful career upon the lecture
platform, they have refused to take
seriously his Congressional aspirations
One reason for this was the strong hold
which Congressman Bankhead has
upon his constituents and another was
the lurking fear of the Alabama
Democrats that Hobson. with his
robust and aggressive Americanism,
was something of Republican In dis
guise. If he gets to Congress it is a
safe wager that he will be heard from
there.

The arrival of the last San Francisco
newspapers published before the earth
quake crumbled every newspaper
building of the city into ruins gives
striking proof of the absolute unex-
pectedness of the great disaster and of
the carefree laughter with which the
city met it's fate. For instance on the
editorial page of the Chronical which
went to press an hour or two before
the earthquake wrecked the city, we
find this facetious comment: "The
| periodical yarn about Mt. Rainier being
IN eruption is again in evidence. En-
terprising Washington begrudges effete
itaiy her monopoly Of spectacular
volcanoes. and is trying to persuade
the outside world that she is in the
same line of show business. There
may he some doubt about Rainier
rlValing Vesuvius. but there i none
whatever that Washington is a safer
place for a big volcano to erunt than
populous Naples"
