Tunn,liug Machines

There is premium these days on the
kind of gray matter that is able to
bring forth complete and practical
tunnel-boring machine. That the prob
lem will soon be solved seems prob
bable for several machines now being
developed seem to possess most of the
requisites of successful boring de-
vice.
A practical test of the Karns ma
chine is about to be made in Utah,
where its initial trial will mark the
beginning of a 10000 foot tunnel.
The demonstration lis being watched
with interest and if the result is sat
isfactory an era of revolution in the
mining business will have begun.
The Sigafoos device, employing
similar principles, has not yet been
tested, the first working model not
yet being completed.
A third machine which has elected
much favorable comment from the
mining men and mechanical engineers
is the Proctor machine, invented by
DR.. o. S. Proctor, of Denver. Operat-
ing directly on the hammer and chisel
principle of the sculptor,it drives tun-
mel by chipping off the breast, the muck
being automatically removed. One can
not but be impressed with the device
as it is very simple and employs pro-
ven principles; in fact. it is little more
than a combination of old ideas.
The inventor has assurance from
competent authorities that the device
is practicable and feasible, and the
encouragement given has warranted
the construction of a complete ma.
chine, work upon which will be begun
in few days.
1t is sincerely hoped that at least
one of the three will prove successful
in the outcome. Financial Bulletin.
