OIL IS IMPORTANT
FACTOR IN MINING

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 gas
oline, kerosene, crude petroleum or
other combustible, was a progressive
step that has affected almost every
industry in a favorable manner. Gas,
gasoline and oil engines find a wide
and increasing field of usefulness in
mining and metallurgical operations,
says the Denver Ores and Metals.
In the development of a prospect
before it is known whether the prop
erty can be developed into a mine. it
is not always possible to install a
steam plant to supply the necessary
power to carry on operations, but in
stead, gasoline or oil engines are
particularly well fitted for the early
stages of development.
These engines have a number of
advantages over steam engines for
this kind of work. In the first place
the expense of boiler plant and the
necessary steam piping is done away
with. The engines, being independ
ent of central or outside source of
power, can be moved readily to any
desired location as may be warrant
ed 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 require constant at
tention. The main disadvantages of
gasoline and oil engines lies in the
fact that the power cannot be util
lied for running drills, and they are
thus restricted mainly to driving
hosting and hauling machinery and
to other purposes where the power
can be transmitted by means of gears
or belts.
Gasoline hosting engines are well
adapted to hosting from shafts DUR
ing sinking and, if the output is not
excessive, their use may be extended
to later period, when it may be de-
sirable to install central steam or
gas engine plant. For power houses
in regions where water is scarce or
of such quality that it is unfit for
use in steam boilers, gas engines are
coming into considerable favor.
These are operated by producer gas
made on the spot in suction or pres
sure gas producers from almost any
kind of available fuel, such as wood,
charcoal, coal, coke, etc. These en-
gines are particularly well suited to
conditions met with in many of the
mining districts of the southwest and
in Mexico, although their field of USE
fulness is not necessarily confined to
these regions.

Something of Comet on the Way.

Those of us who live three years or
so longer may expect to see comet
compared with which our present Wis
liant is scarcely worth mentioning.
This wonder of the skies is Hal
ley's Comet" which, after it's mighty
circuit through space, has for CEN
turtles paid us regular visits at an
interval of about IS years. On its last
appearance, in 1885, its brilliant disc
and flaming tail, spanning the heav-
ems like an arch of fire, created the
greatest excitement.
Another remarkable comet of last
century was that of 1911, which for
seyera! wee,s blazed brilliantly in
the northern sky. This comet, which
was credited with a tail 200000,000
miles long, more than long enough to
encircle the earth 5000 times, mar
rowly escaped a collision with the sun.

The comet of 1861 was chiefly re-
markable for the fact that the earth
passed-without anyone being a whit
the worse-through it's tail.

a very wholesome and rational

able that a better understanding

While the bonding plan and hard

there is no reason why we should

Of doing something. Too many

4 FLOOD PROBE EM.

Following the great flood of this Spring. there is more or less serious talk about building retaining walls along the banks of the Ohio for the pur- pose of preventing losses by floods but it is soberly pointed out that this would involve the expenditure of mill lions far in excess of the highest esti- mates that have been made. The proj- ect would involve not only the Ohio, but its afluents. Walls along both banks of the Ohio, to be effective, would exceed 1,8OO miles in length, and to con- fine within two walls stream that has risen to height exceeding seventy feet, and twice, in 1907, has exceeded sixty feet. would be a job that would stump even Pro Bono Publico" and the other old timers who still write about things they don't kLow much about
 Perhaps the best way out of the problem is the storage system and re- fcrestration. To avoid the losses caus- cd by floods in the Passaic river the State of New Jersey has created a com mission, with power to condemn land for the construction of storage reser. voIrs in the uplands and mountains of the State, catching the surplus water, preventing it from reaching the bed of the river in torrents, but retaining 1t until needed in times of low water, This could be done along the Ohio, and while it would be costly 1t would eost less than hood-walls would. And with proper tree-planting it might do the work One thing is evident, and that is that the people cant afford to have such floods as they have suffered from this Spring if there is any way to pre- vent them,
