Trying a Tunnel Machine.

A tunnel boring machine which, if
it will do one-half of what IT'S inven-
tor expects will revolutienze tunnel
driving in that district, was given a
preliminary trial in the Neyhouse tun-
mel Tuesday night The machine has
been assembled in a short drift about
600 feet in from the portal of the tun-
mel, and the main compressed air pipe
line was tapped for four 1-inch con
nectioEs, but upon the first trial the
compressor at the tunnel mouth,
which is driven by electric power,
could not develop sufficient air to OPP
crate the machine. Another trial
will made be tonight the driving pulley
on the motor having been changed
10 furnishs greater pressure of air.
The machine is the result Of the
effort of the inventor of the Her drill
and consists of a circular arrangement
of six arms upon which il mounted a
group of az small piston drills, each
drill being of self-sharpening, asd
self-baxdening steel with four cutting
faces. The present machine is inten-
ded to bore a tunnel six feet in di-
and practical miners who
have seen the arrangement Of drills
are of the opinion that it can be made
a success. The tests of the machine
which will be made tonight will de-
termine what changes may be nee
essary, if any, and the inventor hopes
to perfect the divice and have it in
operation at an early date.

Quito A Good Gold Mine.:

Mines like the Quito mine should be
appreciated by their owners at time
when nearly all of the big silver mines
in the county have suspended opera
tions. The Quito mine is almost ex-
clusively a gold mine, and it frequently
happens that the high grade gold ore
does not carry as much as two ounces
in silver per ton, under which the samp-
Ter will not pay for the silver contents.
Last month, with but a small working
force engaged mainly in development
work, the mine produced something
over So, 900 in high grade smelling ere
and gold bullion from the milling ma
terial. The Allen. Hudson and New
ton mills have treated the ore with
good success, as it is nearly all free
milling in character. 1t is likely that
the main shaft will be sunk an add.
tionl couple of hundred feet this com
ing winter, taking advantage of the
small amount ef water to be handled
during the winter season. The present
flow Of water is easily and cheapiy
handled. and this season of the year is
the most favorable for shaft sinking.
The work which has been done so fan
has clearly established the fact that
the values in the vein extend to depths
below the present lower workings, anc
the company already having BLOCKED
out an immense amount of the VEN,
can see the advantages of working al
greater depth, which work can be car
ried nr simultaneously with regular
mining of the upper block of grounc
which is now yielding so handsomely.

Money VS. Capital.


Bankers and merchants are now
concerning themselves as to what
effect the issue of additional cur
rency will have upon their interest
rates.
Experts seem to be divided in
.opinion, some holding that the is
sue Of so much new money will
raise the rate, while others hold
that the rate will be lowered, espec
tally in view Of the fact of the COM
ing presidential election
Interest is not payment for the
use of money, but for capital.
Money, it must be remembered, is
money only, unless it is seeking in
vestment; then it becomes capital.
A man may borrow 100000, re-
ceive it in the form of check, and
use it in the form of checks, never
seeing dollar of that for which he
pays interest The bank may not
have more than $4,000 actual cash
on hand to carry through his deal;
hence, clearly, he is not paying in
terest on money.
Interest rates, it is argued, since
4hey are paid on capital and not on
money, are low when capital is
plentiful, but high when capital is
scarce, no matter how money may
be The currency to be issued by
the government is neither capital
nor wealth, and, though there will
be more actual money in circula-
ton, this alone can not dictate the
interest rates.-Spokane Chronicle

The Kelley Powder Heater.

B. F. Kelley, an old-time Colo
RADIO tunnel driver, has invented
and is putting on the market a
powder heating machine that is
very highly spoken Of by practical
miners.
This powder heater consists of
box made of a heavy galvanized
iron, lined with asbestos and paint
ed. A pan made of heavy galvan
lied iron with screw cap is placed
in the bottom of the box, and over
that a rack made Of wires with
meshes for holding the sticks Of
powder, no two sticks being in con-
tact with each other.
The can is filled with water and
placed on the forge. After the wa
ter has reached the boiling point
the cap is screwed on tight and the
can placed in the bottom Of the
box, with the wire frame containing
the powder over it. Within two
hours the powder is evenly heated,
without drawing the glycerine to
the wrappers, as is done by other
methods. This purpose is accom-
plished by the even heat given to
the powder with a constantly de-
creasing temperature. The danger
point cannot possibly be attained.
The box is so carefully insulated
that the heat is retained for from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
The low regular temperature
keeps the powder in its original
state until it is shot, thereby saving
from twenty to fifty per cent over
powder heated in any other way

miles east Of the Bend, and many
claims are being filed on.
Hi Henry has uncovered a ledge
on the Roland Robb ranch and
he has organized the Horseshoe

the field. There are six lodges
running from a foot to six feet
thick and the supply seems to be
inexhaustible. 1t is believed the
whole Jerusalem country is I'M

tons per day in a short time and
in a few months the output will
be increased to so tons. -Em-

Standard Weights. Measures
and Screens.

Copies of the memoranda, EN-
bodying the standards and def
nitions Of Weights, Measures
and Mesh, adopted by the Coun-
Gil of the Institution of Mining
and Metallurgy, have reached US.
The conclusions are, in the main,
in agreement with the recon-
mendations earlier made by the
respective Standardization Com
mittees.
The suggested definition of the
term Shines was not adopted,
the suggestions received being
too divergent tojustify the Coun-
ell in making any recommends
tions on the subject at present.
The definition recommended by
the Committee was: ~ That
material coarser than 150-mesh
be described as sand, coarse or
fine; ~ that material passing
150-mesh, but settling in.
seconds in a......inch column of
water be described as meal, and
(3) that material settling more
slowly in water be described as
shines.
The Council did not feel justi-
fed in making any recommends
tions regarding the general adop-
ton OF the Metric System OF
Weights and Measures, on ac-
count of the divergent opinions
) ana Suggestions recelNeu from us
members and others.
The following definitions have
been adopted by the Institution
and are recommended for the
adoption and use of members
and other professional men:
~ The word "ton" shall re-
present a weight of 1000 lbs.
avoirdupois 90, 1865 OF. troy.
