FAIRFIELD.

A letter was received by Hon. Ed
ward p. Mayo Thursday night from
Congressman Burleigh, stating that he
had introduced bill into Congress
asking for an appropriation not to ex-
coed s150000 for the purchasing of a
site and erecting and equipping of d
new post office building for this town.
The citizens of Fairfield have reason
to be proud of some of her business
men. and especially Mr.. Mayo, who is
always doing whatever he can 10 assist
the town. The fact that Congressman
Burleigh is behind the bill is good as
surance that the much-needed appro-
priation will be secured. Thanks, to a

FREEZING THE EARTH.
How Shafts Are Sunk by Means Of
Refrigeratine Pipes.

In 1883 Poetsch sank the first shaft
by the freezing method. The process
| is fairly well known. 1t consists
| briefly in boring number. OF holes
within Il large circle around the flu
| ture shaft, sinking pipes, and connect
| ing chem on the surface in collective
ring. The lowest pipe has a bottom
| and the pipes are about three feet
apart. and set in a circle from 10 to
| IA feet greater in diameter than the
| final shaft. The rest OF the process
is that of any refrigerating plant. A
salt of magnesium chlorate solution
| is cooled to Is degrees or 20 degrees,
and is circulated in the pipes under
pressure by means of compressors and
pumps. In this way the latent heat
of the earth around the proposed shaft
is drawn away and solid mass of
| frozen material is obtained. after
which the shaft sinking may be begun
In recent years the freezing system
has made wonderful strides, and
sinking of shafts of 100 and 1860 feet
in sand bottom is nothing unusual.
The fear that freezing beyond d depth
of $50 feet would have to be made by
the section system. owing to the dev-
alton of pipes from the perpendicular
when reaching greater depths, has
been eliminated. Two instruments arc
now in use that give the deviation in
fractions of an inch.
The principles of the Eriungen-
hagen and the Gebhardt plumb line
apparatus are the same. Both have
balanced pendulums. which are guided
in the one case by an electric current
and i'm the other case by clockWork,
and both of which mark points on %
strip of paper passing them mechan
ically. By watching the position of
these points the changes from the per
pen0icular can be determined. Elec-
tro-magnetS at the sides of the inStru-
ments, and a clock work in the other
case, prevent the pendulums from run
ming out of position. When marked
change of the pipe position is noted.
auxiliary holes have to be bored and
new pipes sunk.
A noteworthy case of freezing was
that of shafts / and in the Baldur
mines at Trier The shafts had been
sunk to level of AS feet when.
new stratum of sand and water was
~
be any narrower, being 20 feet in
diameter. and the depth had to be ex-
tended to $50 feet. The bore holes
could not be deepened to the desired
depth on account Of the low tempera-
ture of the upper 445 feet. The upper
part of the shaft. having been exca-
waited to 383 feet. was now widened
to a diameter of % feet and to
depth of ABS feet under the protection
of the frozen earth. AT the 435-foot
level a cast iron plate % feet in
diameter. with &c holes cast into it.
each of them slanting toward the out
er part of the circle. was lowered.
Joining these holes, 90 Hanged sockets
10 feet long having the same slant
were Hanged to the plate. and the en-
tire new set of fianges concreted al
NEST to the top leading to the surface
of the shaft. The slant outward
caused extension OF the freezing pipe

dicular through gravitationai forces
