and spectators are using this face 10 ham,

BIG DAILY WEST
Although the re-openlng of the on

Daily West Mining company from re-
suming development and ore extrac.
ton from the lower levels Of its prop
erty. the fact remains that, as COM
pared to year ago the physical condl-

condition OF the company Is very much
improved The running of crosscut

Bell contact vein was among the i'm.
portant achievements Of the year, as
the cutting of this vein has added
greatly to the value Of the Daily West
mine as producer, the event has
not by any means been overshadowed
by recent developments on the 1000
level, where a vein was recently dis
closed showing a width Of from 10 to ~
fetal shipping ore. The ore has been
followed for some distance and at this

CRITICISM OF THE SYSTEM.
This making of the girt only sxiO
inch. in cross-section appears TO be a
step In the right direction. for the
purpose OF the grit or tie, or as II Is
bGter called in some camps, the
brace, IS mainly 10 resist the side
movement Of the caps and Is not To re-
sist any great inward pressure in the
stope as Is the function OF the cap.
Consequently the grit does not have
TO be as strong as the cap. In my
opinion IL Is q waste Of timber TO make
the girts equal in cross-sectlon 20 the
caps.
Another feature that strikes me as
worthy OF consideration Is the fact
that although he vertical distance in
the clear between the caps and the
posts Is six feet Ave inches. the dis
lance in the clear cap-ways and grit
ways In the sets Is only n little over
four feet II might be possible to in
crease this distance and effect stlll
more economy in the timbering with
out endangerIng the stope, but this

given much thought by the Highland
Boy management which is noted for
It's high efficiency ! mentioned the
point only because OF the striking
difference IN these dimensions, which
the arrangements OF these mines have
thought necessary The only draw
back To the girt being as narrow as
six inches is The ease with which a
lloor can be torn up by heavy blast
IN the stope unless the floor Is tightly
wedged IN place. Tor the floor has only
q three inch hold when laid cap-ways
But this, Of course, Is a very small
drawback.

Consequently the ore bodies of Blng-
ham are mined without much waste
filing, thus resembling the open
square-set Slopes OF some OF the Lead

In limestone. Whenever a slope shows
signs of taking weight few
square-sets are Jagged and waste is
dumped into this pen, forming a waste

less than at Butte Montana.
THE SQUARE SET SYSTEM
However the mine managers at Bng-
ham have not been quite satisfied with
these advantages. but have designed, IN
order to save timber a specially framed
square-set, which, at least as far as my
experience indicates Is peculiar to these
mines. This system was llrst use at the
Highland Boy mine OF the Utah Consol-
dated and has later been adopted at
the nearby Boston Consolidated mine.
II has proved so satisfactory that the

At Bingham canyon the sets are de-

TO side pressure and so the horns OF
the caps are caused TO butt against
each other the cap being l0X10 inches

piece rectangular In section instead of
square, the post being q inches wide
