new MILL FOR
EUREKA DISTRICT
The Windfall Mining Company's
New Crushing Plant Commenced
Operating On Thursday

The new crushing plant Of the Wind.
fall Mining Company is now completed
and the company commenced to crush
ore with il Friday.
The mill that the company installed
last year, aud which has attracted SO
much favorable attention throughout
the mining world, was designed to treat
the lime sands that occur in the mine.
In the development of these sands q
body Of hard quartz was encountered.
and as this was found to contain good
values and developed into a tonnage
sufficient to Justify the erection Of q mill
to treat it. the company decided upon
the additional crushing plant that is
now finished.
The object to be attained was to in.
stall q plant Of machinery that would
dry crush the ore to q 20 mesh product
and deliver the finished product into the
bins Of the old mill. This confined the
installation Of the new mill to q single
location, limited 10 area aud grade.
and situated just above the teaching
tanks of the old mill.
The ore as it comes from the mine 10
dumped into the bins in the head frame,
and flows thence by gravity to a Gates
crusher. Grizzly bars are placed in the
chute leading to the crusher aud this
Grizzly takes out the fines which, COM
bined with the coarse crushed ore from
the crusher, fall to a belt conveyor that
discharges to the storage bins. This
bin has . net flowing capacity Of 300
tons.
From the bin the ore is fed by auto
matte feeders on to Q belt conveyor that
delivers it to the coarse rolls. the crushed
ore gr~avitating from the rolls over q
shaking screen. the oversize from the
screen going to two sets Of finishing
rolls. The undersizs falls on to a belt
conveyor that delivers il to an elevator.
This elevator lifts the finished product
to the level of the bins of the old mill
to which it is transferred by a short con-
veyor.
The oversize from the screens, after
going through the two sets of finishing
rolls, gravitates to an elevator which
lifts it and discharges over q second
screen. The undersize from this screen
combines with the undersize from the
first screen, aud the oversize from the
second screen repeats through the two
sets Of finishing rolls again.
The power for the plant is obtained
from q 60 H. p. Fairbanks-M orse gas
engine, while the crusher aud upper
conveyor are driven by an Alamo engine
that the company had on hand.
One of the new features of this mill
are the screens hat have been installed
They are a new type Of shaking screen
that has met with great success in the
different cement manufacturing plants
of the country, and if they prove as ef-
ficient for their present purpose as they
have proved in the cement industry, il
will lead to their general adoption for
this class of work.
The present mill, and also the former
mill, was designed and installed by the
Kaeding Construction Company. with
George L. Kaeding supervising the con.
struction work.

CARS RUN AWAY ON THE SUMMIT


Bank Examiner Van Fleet Has Lively
Experience Last Sunday Night
The E. g. P. train on its way from
Palisade to Eureka Sunday, on reaching
the Summit, 90 miles north OF Eureka.
left the passenger coach and one empty
eondols car standing On the main track
while the engine left to hook on TO some
empty ore cars standing on . siding as
that place for the purpose Of bringing
them to Eureka.
There was only one passenger in the
coach at the time, State Bank Examiner

ward. he walked to the end Of the coach
but raw no engine. He then concluded
that the car in which he was. and the
one ahead. were running away. He ran TO
the rear end Of the coach and on TO the
platform and underworld TO put on the
hand brake. After finding it impossi-
BILE to do so. and the cars In the mean.
time running at . pretty rapid speed.
he picked mp his suit case and overcoat.
threw them from the car, and then
jumped of. fortunately without being
injured.
The run from where the cars started
on the Summit to Alpha 10 about IL
miles, which is down quite . steep
grade. 1t 10 not known. of oonrse. what
speed the runaway cars attained before
reaching Alpha, where they stopped,
there being . slight uphill grade ct that
point. but 1t must have been 40 or so
miles an hour. The swaying Of the cars
in rounding some of the curves caused
the toilet door to swing with such force
as to break the lock on the door into
fragments. and the contents Of the
coach were scattered pr~omiscuously
about.
It is thought the cause Of the cars
running away was due to the leakage
of the air brake, it being understood to
be the practice to hold cars in place
with the air, the disconnecting of the
engine setting these brakes.
The crew and engine went back to
Alpha and picked up the runaway cars
and the train proceeded to Eureka, ar
irving here that night about $3.50
o'clock.
