TIE CARE OF MACHINERY.

There Is perhaps no more exasper-
atiug and improbable a situation for
a mine OF mill superintendent in an
out-ofthe-way region. far from a
source of supplies. than to have some
machine break down and not be able
TO make quick repairs. To send away
for parts and wait for their arrival
may delay operations for weeks
The possibility of such occurrences
is ever present and for that reason
good management demands that the
superintendent in charge, or at least
some one Of his assistants. has me
chanicaI ingenuity enough 20 over
come difficult situations in the shape
OF breakdowns and TO make repairs
that viii at least tide over until new
parts can be Obtained. A necessary
member of every mine and mill force
is a handy man who is ready with a
solution for any mechanical problem
that may arise.
Duplicate parts of machines that
are especially liable to become bro
ken or worn out should, of course. al
ways be kept on hand ready for an
emergency. Where possible duplicates
of machines or equipment of vital
importance 10 the operation of a
plant. such as pumps. boilers. etc,
should be held in readiness II is
of course out of the question TO keep
duplicates of all machines or OF all
parts. bus necessary tools and repair
materials can be kept on hand at all
times. With these the handy man
can usually, il the DANCE is not too
great, make some sort Of q repair that
viii allow the broken machine TO be
pat back IN operation without long
delay. A piece of pipe an iron plate
a few bolts and a little ingenuity
may be sufficient to prevent a shut
down. The handy mans usefulness
does not end with repairing break
downs. There is always something
10 do around the plant. such as max
ing devices for special purposes for
such materials as may be at hand
inspecting and adjusting machinery
etc.
To obtain efficient service from
mine and min machinery and to pre-
vent the occurrence of accidents. reg
uisr inspection is Of utmost import
ance. The frequency Of this inspec

PARADISE

PARADISE Record.)

tfdfddlSe Record
The installation of machinery in
mining camp is always a cause for
congratulation but when. as in the
case Of the California Paradise Min
ing Company which has just put in
pant on the Leadville. regular ore
shipments are expected to result al
most Immediately. the occurrence is
one Of unusual importance to the dis
trict and therefore worthy of more
than a passing interest. The try-out
was made the latter part Of last week.
Everything worked smoothly. After
firing up and getting up steam, the
tank, which holds Loco gallons. was
pumped full of water. Only forty
pounds of steam was useu. Another
successful trial was made this morn
ing. w. z. Stoner and w. J. White,
secretary and treasurer. respectively,
of he company, being present. besides
Supt. w V. Richards, who is also
sident of the company.
Now that the stump is unwatered,
below the timbering just completed,
il must be enlarged and timbered,
also. and there must be a sufficient
supply of fuel on hand. before sinking
can be commenced. Wood from off
the head of Onion creek, Chirieahua
national forest, win be used as fuel.
Fifty cords have already been bought
of the Government by the company,
with the privilege of renewal in like
quantity at the pleasure OF the COM
pany. The contract to cut and haul
to the mine the first fifty cords has
been let TO Mexicans. who are now
at work.
The plant consists of No. Cam
eron sinking pump. a 35 HIP. boiler,
a hoist with a capacity of 500 vertical
fee. and a tank. which as stated,
holds 1000 gallons. The shaft, re-
timbered throughout by the company,
S now a modern, substantial working
shaft of two compartments. The shaft
Is inclined at an angle of abou, 80 de

MAG HOIST HAS
BEEN PROvEDA
GREAT WONDER
Already Has Exceeded All Ex-
pectations, and Is Certain
to Make Even Better Record
in the future.

The big electric hoist at the Irish

derful work, even from the stand
point of those who are supposed to
know all about electric hoists and
their possibilities. 1t was known from
the outset that it would be possible

steam hoist are very we'll known;
and it is also well known already that
the limit OF me steam hoist falls be-

But what is the limit of the cleo

trying TO find out at the Mag. and
this is what makes it interesting to
mining and electrical engineers every

is to be exceedingly regretted if any
impression should get abroad that
the Mag electric hoist has given cut
a. any stage OF the game. IL is far
from true to make the statement. The
electrical. experts in charge and par
ticularly Mr. Pollard. are taking the
greatest pride in The work, and are
not at all disposed to spare the hoist
until they nave found out just how
much it can stand under any and all
possible demands This attitude and
purpose on their part should be fully
understood. and at the same time it
should be understood that the Mag
hoist has already proved itself one of

William Savicke is In receipt OF a
letter from Arthur Houle the well
known local assayer and mineral ex-
pert who went to South America to
examine a copper proposition. it is
understood, for John Hayes Ham
mond. This letter is written from the
mountains of Chilli and in it Mr..
Houle states that he has had a fine
trip down, but that he was at the
writing very busy IN an effort to
finish his work before the advent Of
winter. which is approaching at this
time in Chilli Just as summer is upon
Douglas.
In this letter Mr. Houle states that
the property he is examining is in
the Oh lean mountains at an eleya-
ton Of more than 1900 feet. At
that time there was snow within a
few hundred feet of him and ne had
found IL necessary to expedite hts
work before thereal winter should
set in. The property has long been
worked and is a copper proposition.
Having completed his work Of the
examination OF the property Mr..
Houle expects to return TO Douglas
so that in few months he should
be hack once more.

LIKES BOYD MINE.

PRESCOTT. April 23-Former
Delegate to Congress J. F. Wilson
arrived home this morning from the
Boyd mine in the Santa Maria dis
triet. which he declared to his
friends will one OF the greatest gold
producers of Northern Arizona.
Il consider the Boyd has one Of
the most wonderful gold showings
of any mine | have seen in recent
years considering the amount of de
velopment." Colonel Wilson declared.
Operations are being confined to de
velopment owing to the fact that the
mill is being run only one shift
awaiting the installation of the new
pumping plant on the Santa Maria
river. The delay in delivering the
pumping machinery and pipe is a
costly one to J. IL Boyd. the owner
of the mine. as there is already an
enormous tonnage now blocked out in
the mine. besides the bins are crowd
ed beyond their tonnage capacity.
Another feature. worthy OF more
than passing attention Is that the
ore values increase with depth as
does also the paystreak. The main
shaft is down las feet a-a sa--n'e

UNLISTED STOCKS.

j. A. Minnear & Co. say today:
Enthusiasm at the opening because
of the increase i'm steel dividend yes
terday afternoon caused considerable
buying of stocks and covering of short
accounts The ease with which stocks
were dislodged caused traders to sit
up and take notice, with the turning
of their position to the bear side as a
consequence. Stocks were heavily sold
in the late session and closing prices,
in the New York list especially, show
ed losses ranging as much as points
i'm active issues Copper stocks acted
alphabetically and in the late trad
ing buyers were scarce, extremely so.
There was considerable trading i'm
Lake at the opening on the report that
the latest milling operations were ac-
companied with much more favorable
results than those last announced. This
issue though. was liquidated quite
heavily and lost more than its early
gain. The balance of the copper list
showed losses. Curb trading showed
slight losses. The Lake group were
under pressure Indiana being the
weakest. selling off 4 points from high.
The close did not look encouraging
and further orratic action is expected
this week. In the ordinary run OF
events a slight rally is due.

iod net earnings and income from the

ZIG from the Desert Mill a. Power Co.
or a total OF 81 ,G39, 6O2.6S. There were
paid i'm dividends $1.400,OOO. leaving a
total surplus February 2S OF $4,967, 919.
Shipment to the mill amounted to 1885,
07S dry tons, value $2O93 per ton To
the reserve during the year was added
47.535 tons, making a total of 414,5S3
tons of gross value $21.9S, per ton, and
a total value Of $9,094,S47.
Costs during the year were reduced
2S per cent, Notwithstanding that de-
velopment exceeded the previous year
by more than 1000 feet, some of which
waS done under great difficulties. The
combined extraction of gold and silver
was increased from 900 per cent to 91.7
per cent which added approximately
$47, 500 to the earnings.
The most important feature of the
report is the increasing ore reserves,
as IL was thought by some that these
were being depleted. The report does
not make statement of the net value
in these reserves, but this figure may
be roughly estimated at $4,000, 900, al
lowing for costs and losses.
The Tonopah stocks are attracting
considerable attention at the present
time, due to the discovery of contin-
ued favorable development of the Ton
