gambling had been going on in that
town. 1t was further stated that
the chief of police had received Or
ders to stop it. No doubt everything
will be all right now. It is strange
what reports will get afioat in one
of these little towns. Now we have
even heard it intimated that some
thing that might be called gambling
is sometimes done in Mountain
Home. People have even specified
the hours when 1t has been done:
between 1905 Monday morning and

surveyed a route over the Sierras,
and reported to the old c. P. r. r.
company that by a tunnel eight
miles long the company could reduce
the altitude at the summit some
l 500 feet and do away with the
snow sheds. But eight miles. 1t
seemed appalling. But with two of
these machines the tunnel could be
cut In less than one year.
1t sinks shafts as we'll as runs tun-
nels. 1t means a revolution in min
ing and what as Mr.. Belecher of the
Utah company says: 1T will before
year swamp all the furnaces in
Utah with ore," does not seem i'm
probable, for running small tunnels
$50 feet per day can be run. 1t Ia
marvel in mining. The company
which has the invention in Utah in
cludes some of the strong men of
Utah. Such men as Mr.. George T..
Odel and Mr.. M. HI. Walker and
others are stockholders, and already
ten miles of tunnel is waiting the
needed machinery, ten miles in Utah
alone, and this may be considered as
merely preliminary work.
We do not see why railroads can
not hereafter be run in straight
lines.
We believe 1t is the most splendid

The Harms Tunneling Machine.

Enlightened nations have been
tunneling the hills since old Rome
built acqueducts and the Catacombs.
But the business was never perfected
until to J. P. Harms, of Colorado,
the grace was given to discover 1t.
His invention is to mining what the
discovery of America was to the bust
ness world. The power drill was
mighty advance. Where men could
by tremendous labor run a tunnel
from one to two feet per day, the
power drill enabled them to make
eight to ten feet per day. The Harms
invention for small tunnels runs
eight feet per hour. And now, there
are whispers that a contract has
been let to run circular tunnel Is
feet in diameter through the stub
born mountain on the line of the
Moffat road this side of Denver. 1t
was expected that, running from
both ways, 1t would require two and
half years to complete the tunnel.
This contract will guarantee to make
this hole Is feet in diameter at the
rate of 60 feet per day, or II two
machines are employed, working to-
ward each other, then 100 feet per
day of tunnel will be run. But at
| the 60 feet per day, 1t means that a
| mile will be opened in just S8 days.
Then the company will put on power
drills and blast out six feet in depth,
| and the tunnel will be "a feet high
and the upper half of which will be
a perfect half circle.
| Another feature Is that where wa
ter acn be obtained a hydraulic pres
sure sends in a stream of water and
all the debris from the drills is
washed out and away. When this Is
not practical the debris is washed
back and by an endless screw is car
ried up and dumped into waiting
cars.
The machine is but the application
of an old principle. There is NJ
grinding off of the rock as has 81
long been tried and failed, but thu
rock is Clipped off.
A big Rand or lngersoll drill vii
keep four or Ave points playing Oh
the face of a tunnel. This machin
when cutting a 51-inch tunnel set
$50 such points in motion. In tn
same proportion an 1S-foot TUNE
would use about IL 900 points. Nov
q single Ingersoll drill will do a
much work as about eight miners
so when an 1S-foot Harms machin
is in motion, 1t means that It Is chip
ping more rock than could an arm
as large as was General Lees arm
; at Gettysburg, working with singl
drills.
It can be seen how under thos
blows, the mountain comes down.
will require 5000 feet of compresse
