MINING ENGINEERING FEAT.
Shaft Constructed Above Ground and
Made to sink of Its own Weight.

Mining engineers have performed
an ingenious and gratifying feat in
literally sinking e nine shaft near
Wakes Barre, Pa. In an illustrated
article in the July Popular Mechanics,
William c. Richardson describes the
construction as follows:
A shaft wall or caisson of rein
forced concrete is being built above
ground and allowed to sink by its
own weight through the soft soil, In
which are layers of gravel, quicksand
and clay, until solid rock is struck
some so feet below. When the rock
is reached il will be qaurried out In
the usual way. and, should not the
cutting shoe find level resting
place, it will be blocked up and all
the interstices poured full of cement
to form a water tight Joint The to-
tai depth of the shaft. as now con-
templated, will be 500 feet.
In sinking the shaft, HE first OPP
Grafton was to construct steel cut
ting shoe. oblong in shape, 50 feet
six inches by 2S feet. Its outer ex-
tremity was of half inch steel, about
30 inches high To the inside of this,
about eight inches from the bottom,
was riyited IA half inch steel horizon
tai plate. two feet wide, to act as a
shelf for the concrete. which tapers
from width of "a inches at the
bottom to seven inches at the top.
First a pit, l ) feet In depth, was
dug. into which the cutting shoe was
nlaeed. the bottom of the pit being
made perfectly level TO receive 1t.
The molds or forms for the concrete
were erected on the shelf within the
shoe and the walls built in the GUS
tomary manner TO a height of 20
feet. When these became sufficiently
hardened the earth was dug away
from within the shoe. and the weight
of the walls forced the steel cutting
edge gradually downward BY plac-
ing the molds ON top of the hardened
walls and repeating the operation,
the cutting shoe has been driven
down until il is expected that the en-
tire shaft will be completed in time
for coal to be mined next winter.
In all. some 5000 cubic yards OF
concrete and las tons of reinforcing
steel will be used in the walls, which
will be carried up | D feet or 20 feet
above the ground. so that even when
the surrounding fields are under wa
ter. there Will he no danger of the
river entering the shaft
When completed the shaft will be
divided into three sections, the first
TO accommodate two cages for hoist
ing coal the second for "A pump and
ladderway. and the third for an up
cast airway. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the shaft will be 100000,
of which the concrete work will cost
about SIS. 900. Two powerful venti-
lating fans, each with capacity OF
$350,000 cubic feet of air per min
ute, will he installed. one for regular
use and the other for emergency
cases

ANOTHER YER|NGTON
MINE MAKING GOOD

General Manager Maurice VI. john
son. of the Western Nevada Copper
Co, on Monday was in receipt OF sew
eral maps showing the work that is
being done on this property at Yer
ington, SAYS the Salt Lake Tribune.
To one who never visited the West
ern Nevada, or who has fa1led 10
keen closely in touch with this well
known copper proposition, the
amount of development work done is
astonishing. and the amount and
character of red metal rock now
available goes far to back up Mr.
Johnson~s statement that 1t now looks
as If the company was solidly aud
surely on the trail of a big copper
mine.
One drift toward the north has
followed an ore shoot 16O feet
along its strike, while there Is no In
dication as yet that this ore body
will come TO speedy conclusion.
Their are between 20 and 25 feet of
ore all this distance which will aver
age close TO 5 per cent copper, while
there is a width of IS feet for this
distance which Mr.. johnson states
The management now has the sta
ton cut on the lower tunnel level, the
head frames of the hoist are in po-
sition, while the hosting engine Is
set and ready for action. Work,
therefore, of sinking the shaft down
900 feet deeper is expected TO be
started at any day now. In cutting
room for the head frames states Mr..
johnson, several fine punches of cop
per ore were encountered in the lime.
There is vast lime territory within
the company's lines, all OF which
gives promise to yield on future de-
velopment considerable red metal re-
sources. Mr.. Johnson is very much
gratified with Western Nevada con-
ditions. and says that he now has the
ore system of the property solved TO
his satisfaction. and that from now
on II will not be difficult matter to
direct development work to the very
best advantage.

simple matter. as the material stands
