New Idea in naulaQe.

A new idea in mine locomotives
is to be worked out at the Loretto.
In contrast to the system in most
mines where all the tramming and
hoisting is done from one level and
all the ore is dropped to that level
through raises, this scheme pro-
vides for power tramming on sever
al levels. The usual motor is too
large to be transferred from level
to level as desired, but a smaller
engine has now been designed of
such a size that it may be conven-
iently run onto the ca ge and trans.
ferred to whatever level is desired.
The engine will still be large
enough to haul several cars, will be
able to make trip OF 1900 feet and
return with every charging and
will require only a minute and a
half for recharging. 1t is an ar
rangement that has in it, certainly
unusual flexibility. Iron Noun.

OLIVER COMPANY PAYS IN CHECKS.
Twenty Per Cent Cash, Balance in
Paper Passing at Par at All Points.

In common with other large inter
ests which have felt the full force
of the existing conditions in the
money market the Oliver Iron Min
ing Co. has been forced to Issue
checks in payment of LABOR and
other accounts. twenty per cent Of
the monthly pay rolls now being
distributed to employees of the com
pany throughout the Lake Superior
district being paid in cash, the
balance in checks payab bic to bearer,
These checks are endorsed on the
back, advising the holders that they
may be deposited in the American
| Exchange Bank of Duluth, and they
are freely accepted hy business men
and others in payment of accounts,
therefore being equivalent to cash
Tor all purposes with the possible
exception of workmen being unable
to send them to the old country for
friends and relatives to realize on.
The plan therefore harms none, and
as people are getting used to the
new system of payments they find
it makes neither trouble nor incon-
venience to any.
In explanation of the issuance of
these checks President Cole, of the
Oliver Company, has indited the
following explanatory letter to CON-
pany employees:
"To the employees of the Oliver
Mining company:
"The sudden and unexpected with.
drawal of currency from general
circulation in the City of New York
has interfered very generally with
the usual payments, at this date, of
payrolls for the preceding month.
Such interference especially effects
the larger employers of labor, in
cluding the Oliver Iron Mining
company, which, notwithstanding
it has large bank deposits, cannot
obtain currency in amounts suf-
ticient to make cash payments of
the pay-rolls for the last month.
For this reason, the company
has decided to meet the present
rolls by the payment of twenty per
cent in cash, and of the remaining
eighty per cent, checks of the COM
pany in small denominations. These
checks of this company, against
ample deposits, undoubtedly will
be regarded and be received as cash
by merchants and others.
ut is believed that little "1ncon.
venience will result to any employe
from this expedient, adopted not
because of lack of funds, but solely
because OF the present ina bility of
banks to supply currency. The
temporary emergency, it is trusted,
will soon be relieved by the pro-
visions already made to secure
gold and other currency from
abroad and from the government
and also, through additional issues
of national bank notes, pursuant to
the national banking act.
It's hoped and believed that the
employees generally will recognize
and appreciate the effort of the
company to meet the unexpected
conditions arising from the pres
ent lack of currency.
