AUTOMATIC SIGNAL
 RECORDER FOR MINES

According to the South African
 Mining Journal, MT. Russell, an engin-
 eer working on the Langlaate Block B
 mine, recently exhibited device for
 automatically registering signals giv- en in the shaft and in the enginee room
 as well as the travel of the skip or
 cage. The records are obtained by means of a specially constructed clock
 between the face of which and the
 works is fixed a cylinder about six
 inches in length by two inches. in diameter. A paper band, seetiOned in to time spaces, is placed over the cyl finder, and a small disk recorder with a separate needle attachment is ad- justed in close proximity to one side of the cylinder. The disk and needle are both operated electrically, but separately. The disk which records the skip journeys is brought into con tact with the sectional paper on the cylinder by means of a small motor driven from the winding drum, mark ing line on travelling paper as long as the drum is in motion. When the drum cease to revolve, the contact is cut off automatically and the disk is raised from the paper, which eontin- ues to travel without being marked until the drum commences to revolve anew, when the process is repeated. The signal registrations are attained by means of a separate wire connect ed with the signal bell. Immediately signal is given, the needle is simul- tsneously projected on to the travel ing cylinder barrel and perforates the paper, the performation being repeat ed each time the bell is rung. The time sectional papers thus records each and every signal given, and the times at which they occurred. The clock and registering apparatus is enclosed in a glass ease, which permits obser- vatiOns of the movements to be made when desired. \ separate instrument is, of course, required for each en- zine. The machine need not neeessar- fly be placed in the engine room. Lut in any place which may be deemed such as the engineers ori office; it is only matter of wire connection.
 With a recording machine attached | to each winding engine at work, at the conclusion of every shift the 1 whole of the work is perforated-i.e., every journey made and every signal given during the shift can be read off the register and logged. No room for dispute is left, and there is no possi- i oility of conflict of evidence.

WORK OF CHINKS
 SUPERFICIAL ON PLACERS

R. NJ. Edmonds, a Nevada operator,
 who believes that the modern gold
 placer miner must cease looking for
 virgin fields, and must turn his atten-
 ton to reworking the old placer dig
 gings of the west, has some interesting
 views on this subject.
 MT. Edmonds has been installing a
 complete hoisting and pumping equip
 ment in the Auborn canyon section of Humboldt county, Nevada, and a few
 days ago ne and his associates pur-
 chased practically all the placer rights
 in the famous Barber canyon part of the Chafey district.
 Barber canyon, in the early days, gave up several million dollars wortE of placer gold in answer to the efforts of Chinese operators. The theory of MT. Edmonds is, that the Chinese op- orator remained too close to the sur face, and although he took out mil lions of golden treasure, he took it from a false bedrock. To substan- tiate this theory, MT. EdmondS men tion that the Deffenbaugh brothers and Hane interests owning five claims, or loo acres, up this canyon, have driven through this false bedrock to the original bedrock or old water chan nel, 35 feet deeper than the Chinese bedrock.
 These operators developed such flow of water that their limited pump ing equipment could not keep the low CT channel free from it, so operations had to cease. But enough was learned to establish the fact that the untOuch- ed gravel contained rich gold values. It is this block of loo acres which MT. Edmonds and associates have pur- chased, and they intend to install pumping and operating equipment at once and to get every .Olor out of the gravel possible. It is Carber canyon which has presented great attractions to Salt Lake invest ,rs, and the range through which the .anyon cuts it's way is lined with Utah operators developing the ledges # gold ore.

The provisions of the new homestead
