Lighted by Electricity

The interior is illuminated by cleo venient places. In many mines there have occurred from time to time seri- ous and fatal accidents by the men touching electric wires with deadly voltage concealed in the copper rope. In order to avert any possible accident the voltage of the wires in the Marvel mines has been reduced to such a point as to render it harmless.
 The mines are equipped with explo- sion doors which are required under all mine laws, that are up-to-date, so that in the event of an explosion at Marvel the fan, which is adequately protected by concrete doors, will not be rem dered useless, nor will 1t be touched. The entire plant at Marvel is oper- ated by electricity, for which purpose , respect, which is operated by utilizing steam produced from the boiler plant.
 A supply of water is maintained in reservoir holding 50O,OOO gallons, which is pumped one and one-half miles by an electrically controlled pump operated by man stationed in the power house. There is a guage which tells the depths of water in the sup ply tank for domestic purposes. The reservoir is F feet deep. The electric equipment consists of a 250- kilowatt generator manufacturing 23OO volts.
 Immense Hoisting Engine
 The hoisting engine located in this plant to bring the mined coal to the tipple is the largest and the most per feet in the south. It is 1900 horse- string of coal cars 2s miles per hour The engines are of the double drum variety, steam driven. The building in which are located these al- lies of men is of reinforced co-4orete and steel with a tile roof, rendering it, as are the others, fire proof. An electric travelling crane of tremendous power is also a part of this building.
 The entire plant is so thoroughly equipped that in the event of a strike or shortness of orIers, small deprecia- tion and costs would result from shut down. The mouths of the two mine entrances are of concrete rein | forced with steel running into the mine 75 or 100 feet. It is exceptionally clean and attractive looking The man ways are equipped in like manner and as far as possible steps are pro- vided for the men to enter the mines The result is that there is no mud or standing water to make it unclean for

VOTE THE REGULAR TICKET.

In tho campaign fCT municipal
offices certain facts stand out so
boldly that they arc not oven Qucs-
toned. The first Of these is thar
MANY, in fact, the majority Of the
Republicans have been long dissatiS-
fled with the present city adminis
tration; second MIR. Petty secured
the nomination on the Republican
ticket for member Of the Board OF
Affairs absolutely without opposl-
ton.
These being untiisputCd facts. TEe
Advocate, which holds no brief Tor
Mr.. Petty or any other candidate,
can not sec how any Republican caA
with justice oppose his candidacy.
1t was known before the primary
election that he had opposed a part
of the Republican ticket in the cam
paign last fall. Then why did not
those, who objected to his nominal
ton Oh tho Board Of Affairs, bring
out another candidate and fight for
the nomination? Instead of doing
this. they allowed the nomination to
go by default. Now they talk OF
fitness Of the candidate for the Office,
and nominate another.
No objections will hold again t
their choice. He would fill the CT
flee as we'll as some and better than
most of those who aspire to it. But
if party regularity is in question,
what OF the party regularity of those
who are now opposing the regularly
nominated candidate Of the party?
Are they not committing the very
sin Of which they accuse Mr.. Petty:
They tell us the City Committee
exceeded its authority in issuing the
Ca]lTfOr the nomination Of only enc
candidate for the Board Of Affairs.
and two for Council IA each ward.
May be it did, but did they exhaust
all legal means to secure their rigAts
before they decided upon another set
Of candidates? Not so that any one
could notice it. Following close up
on the regular primary, a convention
was called and al independent ticket
was placed in the field. And This
was done, mind YOU, WITHOUT even
the usual excuse for such action.
There had been no appeal to the
courts nor to the members Of the
party at the polls.
AS was said last week in these
columns, The Advocate had hoped
that the Republicans Of Charles on
would forgive, if they could not Cor
get, all factiCnal differences. unite
and make this campaign start a
new toward that harmony which is
SO essential to future success. This
they have not done and, in failing to
do so, have widcncd, rather than
