GAS, GASOLINE AND OIL.
How These Agents Have Played I'M
portant Part In Mininq.

The advent of successful gas or hydro
carbon engines, operated by exploding a
mixture of air and gas or air mixed with
the vapOr of gasoline, kerosene, crude
petroleum or other combuStible. was
progressive step that has affected almost
every industry in a favorable manner.
Gas, gasoline and oil engines find wide
and increasing field of usefulness in min
ing and metallurgical operations, both in
preliminary and permanent operations,
says Denver Ores and Metals
In the development of a prospect be-
fore it is known whether the property
can be developed into a mine, il is not
always possible to install steam plant
to supply the necessary power to carry
on operations, but instead, gasoline or
oil engines are particularly well fitted
for the early stages of development.
These engines have a number of adj
vantages over steam engines for this
kind of work. In the first place the
expense of a boiler plant and the neces-
sary steam piping is done away with.
The engines. being independent of CEN
trail or outside source of power, can be
moved readily to any desired location as
may be warranted by conditions. The
expense of operating these engines is
low, and when kept in good condition
they require very little attention. They
are compact and self-cOntained. In many
mining camps fuel for steam making is
scarce and expensive. Steam boilers re-
quire constant attention. The main dis
advantages of gasoline and oil engines
lies lin the fact that the power cannot
be utilized for running drills, and they
are thus restricted mainly to driving
hosting and haulage machinery and to
other purposes where the power can be
transmitted by means Of gears or belts.
Gasoline hosting engines are we'll
adapted to hosting from shafts during
and, if the output is not ex-
ceSSiVe. their use may be extended to
later period, when 1t may be desirable
to install a central steam or gas engine
power plant. For power houses in re-
gions where water in scarce or of such
quality that II Is unfit for use in steam
boilers, gas engines are coming into con-
siderable favor These are operated by
producer gas made on the spot in sue
ton or pressure gas producers from al
most any kind of available fuel such as
wood. charcoal, coal, coke, etc. These
engines are particularly well suited 10
conditions met with in many of the min
ing districts of the southwest and in
Mexico, although their field of useful
ness is not necessarily confined to these
regions

YERINGTON CAN
STAND COPPER CUT

The Yerington Times has been inter-
viewing its prominent mine managers
and engineers on the decline in copper
and its effect on Yerington mines, with
the following result:
do not believe Yerington will be af-
fected injuriously on account of the de-
cline in copper. The red metal has been
too high to admit of consumption
which would have been and will now be
the case at the present price. Every
property in this district that has been
worked up can be profitably worked with
copper at from u to IA cents. 1 do not
believe the camp will suffer any set

The fact thai Yerington mines a high
er grade of copper than other districts
seems to me to indicate that the pre-
vailing price of copper Will not seriously
affect Yerington- If any effects do re-
suit, they will be but temporary. While
l feel certain that copper will go up,
I do not believe that even the present

GOOD ORE OPENED
IN THE EAGLES NEST

A wire was received here yesterday
stating that a good strike had been made
on the Eagles Nest Fairview, and that
the discovery was made on a lease that
is being worked by J. r. Davis and asso-
Ciates of this city, says the Goldfield TTt-
bune The ore body was entered at a
depth of 100 feet, and 1t is similar in APP
pearance and assay, just as well as the
rock that is being mined on the Nevada
Hills and the Fairview Eagles. The
Eagles Nest ground is located between
these two bonanzas.
The Eagles Nest was promoted by the
L. NJ Sullivan Trust company, ana it is
likely to turn out to be a winner. This
corporation made many haphazard ven
lures in this and other camps, and this is
the first one where any ore has been
found, and as it is located in a fashion
able neighborhood the output from it is
liable to make up for the losses incurred
in all of the other investments.

ever, the value of products increased only
3.3 per cent in the east, while in the west
