WOMEN S WORK IN MINES

Until recently women were employ
ed in England in connection with sur
face work in coal mining and brick
yards. The women were found to be
very strong, but they were otherwise
unsatisfactory and weIo ultimately
dispensed with at the collieries. The
coal mines regulation act of Great
Britain prohibits woman labor beng
employed underground.
In German, Southwest Africa an
investigator found many women at
work about the mines. They were
of firewood The women labor was
cheap and as long as they were left
alone to take as much time as they
liked over the work and do it as they
wished they were all right.
His next experience was higher up
the coast, in West Africa labor was
short and they decided to try women
to carry stones. They carried the
first two loads and then they struck.
These women quite altered the con-
ditions of carrying stones. They car
ried them for a certain distance, but
three or four relays had to be pro-
vided. After that they were tried at
carrying sand and things like that.
They went on for short while, but
did the work in fits and starts.
In another place, also on the West
Coast, where women had been tried
against the black men, it was found
that for carrying in firewood they
were by far the best and the cheapest.
There, of course, they were on piece
work, although their tickets were
marked just the same as if they were
on day work.
Their task was to carry in cord
of wood a day. They used to start
about 4:30 am. and went on carrying
until Z and from 1880 till 8 or 10.
Then if they wanted to get off early
the next day they used to carry an
other cord of wood in the afternoon
or a part of 1T.
They were a decided success, but
they were very particular as to wheth-
er the cord of wood was exactly in
THAT they called their circle. They
did not mind how close it was to the
boilers, but if it were a little over
their distance they would go to the
manager and want an increase direct
ly.
Some women used to carry about
100 pounds on their heads; on an
average about S5 to 95 pounds OF
wood.
Statistics published in the Mining
World from time to time show that
there are number of women en-
ployed in the coal mines of Belgium
and Germany, for instance, as pickers
and sorters. In Germany women re.
ceive from 81 to % cents per day.

An Unobserving Thief.

Yousouf owned a beautiful horse
which was very valuable.
While Yousouf was transacting
business a thief stole the horse.
The owner shortly afterward saw
the rogue leading his horse, and took
lin before the caid, or judge.
1.-THE horse is mine!" sturdily in
sisted the thief.
In vain the other argued. and the
caid was about to give his decision in
favor of the villain, when Yousouf
advanced suddenly, threw his cloak
over the horses head and demanded
of his enemy:
"Since you own the horse, tell the
caid in which eye the animal is
Blind"
I'm the left" said the thief, MAX
ing wild guess.
Yousouf looked toward the caid
triumphantly. Hes blind in neither
eye," said he.
So the noble horse came into its
rightful owners possession again,
and the wicked Arab was punished.

Dancing Mice.

Many years ago the japanese OBJ
served that some mice had the habit
of dancing round and round. So
they began to train these mice to
waltz around in a circle.
Today this kind of mice is trained
to dance. They whirl around so rap
idly that you can hardly see more
than a blur. Apparently, too, they
consider it great fun, for they will
stop only occasionally to nibble some
food-then away they go again.

SHOWS DEVELOPMENT OF
MODERN WIRE ROPEWAY
System Built i'm Argentine Andes Is
Most Elevated Railway Plant
i'm the World.

An unusual example showing the
development of the modern wire
ropeway is a system built by Ger
man firm in the Argentine Andes.
1t runs from the town of Chilesto to
the Famatina mines, at a height of
about 1900 meters above the level
of the sea, and may be said to form
continuation of the state railway.
This wire ropeway is not only the
most elevated railway plant in the
world at its upper end, but nowhere
else has a steam engine ever been
erected at such a great elevation as
here. The track has length of
about thirty-five kilometers, with a
difference in level between the two
terminals of about $500 meters. and
the construction presented unusual
difficulties.
The system is not designed for one
material, but must deal with general
traffic. Not only is the ore brought
down from the heights to the railway
and the smelling works, but all build
ing material for the mines and the
necessaries of life for the workmen
must be carried up. 1t is also en-
ployed for carrying the mails and the
officials even use it for passenger
traffic.
The introduction of this plant, with
a capacity of forty tons down traffic
and about twenty tons up traffic, re-
duced the cost of transport from
about tenth of this sum. Other
ropeways have been erected at neigh
boring mines in Argentina and also
in Chile.
Similar conditions prevail in ia
pan, where the same firm has also
built several plants for working cop
per mines in mountainous regions.
These are several kilometers long,
with considerable difference in level,
and have spans of from 400 to 600
meters. New York Commercial.

WALKER LAKE COMPANY
SHOWING GOOD PROSPECTS
Ledge of Copper Twenty-Five Feet
Wide UncoVered-Vein Al
most Perpendicular.

The Walker Lake Syndicate Mines
company, composed chiefly of Tono-
pah men, is carrying on extensive de-
velopment work in that section of the
country, according to ID. G. Beach,
who has charge of the work. Mr..
Beach participated in the rush last
October when the reservation was
thrown open to mining entry and sue
ceeded in locating number of
groups of claims in different parts
of the district.
His Goldfield hackers stuck loyalty
by him and furnished money un-
grudgingly with which to prove up
the merits of the various properties.
The accumulated holdings were re-
Gently incorporated under the above
name and a limited amount of stock
offered for sale which Mr.. Beach says
has all been taken up, the majority
having been purchased by the men
in the hole" or those working on the
property for days wages.
Mr.. Beach says that one mine has
already been developed, with pros
poets good on two more groups of
the various claims. The best prop
erty thus far developed is the one sit
uated on Black mountain, between
Schurz and Yerington.
A shaft has been sunk on a ledge
of copper that outcrops twenty-five
feet in width. Sinking has now
reached depth of seventy-fve feet
and the foot wall has just been reach
ed, showing that the vein dips the
least bit, being almost perpendicular.
AS the shaft was sunk the entire dis
lance in ore, he says, there is no
waste on the dumps, and that most
of the product would pay to ship but
that the company prefers to let it lie
until the price of copper advances
again to its proper place. This pres
ent depression, however, will not be
allowed to hamper the work of de-
velopment and production.

For September the Arizona Copper
Company at Clifton produced 1889
tons of Bessemer copper, which is
about it's standard output. The man
ayers of the company have announced
that there is no intention to cut down
production. This is the more re-
markable, in that the Clifton and
Morenci districts carry about the
lowest copper percentages worked in
Arizona. averaging only about 8 "
per cent metal.
