experimenting the moving of a
saw mill to the Lemhi bar on
Salmon river. to be used to saw
lumber for a fume to be built at
this point, to carry water from
Lemhi creek to the bar for placer
mining.
The Lemhi bar was purchased
by John Nassau and L. B.
Adams of Spokane and l.. R.
Adams of Chicago, this spring
and will be extensively work. 1t
is proposed to construct a ditch
and fiume that will give a fall of
100 ft. to the bar, which is 60 ft.
above the river. The fiume will
be 1900 fit. long, the work to be
done this fall.
Lemhi bar is one of the, largest
bars on the river and has beer
worked on a small scale for {
number of years, and has pro
duced well.
The bar was owned by FREQ

of the furnace and heating pipes,

makes for economy
and comfort. Wherever steam
is used as a motive power in
factories, on trains, or on ships,
it is asbestos packing that holds
the steam to its work; on the
other hand, if electricity is en-
ployed the wires are probably
insulated by asbestos tape and
the adjacent parts are made of
afbestos lumber Asbestos
shingles and sheathing make
houses cooler in summer and
warmer in winter and reduce the
fire risk. From the ice-house,
where asbestos protects the brine
pipes from the heated air, to the
foundry, where it shields the
workman from molten metal, in
the workshop, the home, or the
place of amusement, asbestos
contributes materially to human
welfare.

WORK BEGUN
ON THE DAM
Men and Teams Busy on Big
Power Plant.

W.. J. Bell arrived here last
Saturday accompanied by Cap
tain Andrews, of Spokane, the
engineer who will have charge
of that part. of the work in con-
nection with the construction of
the big dam at this point.
Owing to the wet weather the
start was made under some dis
advantages, but men and teams
are now at work and construction
work on Kooskia's huge power
plant is now. sure underway.
The Mountaineer is not going
to use any box-car head lines in
connection with this enterprise,
but it will endeavor to keep you
posted on what is going on
around here. There is no reason
for any wild-eyed enthusiasm.
Kooskia and the dam will go
ahead steadily and if you can't
hold place in the live line, just
drop back. This is an age of
progress and public improve
ments, and the go-ahead spirit
is what does the business.
The people of Kooskia have
reason to feel happy. Our town
is going to grow and prosper and
the future never looken brighter.

in dimensions, which, if spread
over the United States, would
form layer 1.6 miles high.
Round-pointed shovels should
be used where shoveling broken
rock from a rough rock bottom.
Where a smooth bottom is avuil-
able or sollars can be laid, square
shovels are TO be preferred. At
the North Star mines, laying
sollars and changing to square
shoveIs increased the amonnt of
rock handled per man per shift
by 20 per cent.
In water-power development
the prime requisite for a small
power are, first, a stream of
water Of an appreclable volume,
end second, a water fall, a rapid,
or a gradient of appreciable
amount. In round numbers a
stream having a flow of one
cubic foot per second will gen.
crate one theoretical horsepower
for every 10 ft. of fall it has.
Thus, a stream flowing A Gu. ft.
per second, and having a fall of
80 IT, could. generate II theo-
retical Horsepower.
The Panama canal is undoubt-
edly the best instance of the use
of modern excavating methods.
Here there are 100 steam-shovels
in use, AZ of which are of the
heaviest and most powerful type.
On account of the very accurate
records kept it is particularly in
teresting to note the outputs re-
corded in material which is con-
siderably harder than the aver
age. The daily record is now
held by 95-ton shovel built by
the Bucyrus company. This
machine in 8 hours dug 1923 Gu.
yd. of material designated as
rock and earth, although delayed
160 minutes waiting for cars and
for other reasons. More re-
markable performances are fire.
