Anaconda Power Changes.

The Anaconda Copper Mining Co.
has been making some important
changes in its power equipment re-
placing steam with electricity and COM
pressed air, particularly for hosting.
The change has resulted in some i'm
portant economies. The cost of hoist
ing ore in the mines of the district un-
der control of the Anaconda Co. is 20
cts. tor by steam and under the sys-
TEN of compressed air the cost of hoist
ing is blt cts. ton, making a saving
of II cts. a ton This means an i'm
mense saving and it can be easily seen
why the company is using electricity
for working the pumps, ore hauling
underground and everything else
where motive power is required
When the company has all its mines
equipped with the necessary apparat-
as for hosting ore by compressed air
it will be seen that the saving is going
TO be such as to play a very important

the company has stated will be brought
about under the merger. At the pres
ent time, but three mines are equipped
for hosting ore under the compressed
air SYSTEM bus the next 8 months will
witness practically every mine of i'm
Portance in the district under the new
SYSTEM and this will mean a saving of
u cts. a ton on the 10000 tons of ore
sent each day to the smelter at Ana
eoDda. When the underground electric
ears are at work in the different mines
hauling ore to be hOisted to the surface
there will be another big saving, as it
is estimated that the care and feed of
the mules and horses are costing at
least twice as much as will the electric
ears

Ore at the Tunnel Level

The expectation in driving the
Roosevelt drainage tunnel at Cripple
Greek was that rich ore bodies would
bhus be made accessible, the life of the
camp prolonged many years. with mil
lions added to the output. That this
expectation is now in fair way of being
realized is brought out by the follow
ing from the Cripple Greek Times,
which says
''The discovery of rich ore in. the c..
K. & N vein on. the Roosevelt tunnel
level again proves beyond a doubt the
continuation, of ore shoots to depth and
again explOdes the theory that the ore
bodies are found only in deposits near
the surface.
AT depth of 1885 feet ore running
as high as 35S touy Oh an average,
has been opened up and to this time
the values have been drif5ed upon
distance of % feet. The FL Paso shaft
will probably be sunk to the tunnel and
the big vein stopped out. The discov-
cry of ore at the tunnel level means
that the FL Paso will be a producer
for years.
at was the old theory promulgated
several years ago that the gold de-
posits were only near the surface of
this volcanic area, but since the Cries.
son, Granite Portland Elkton and
Mary Mckinney shafts have gone to
depth, rich ore bodies have been found
and the deeper down the richer the
rock This is deep camP-thst is
the best ore will be found thou
sand feet down.
Every mine of this district that has
produced a Dillion dollars should pro-
duce another million from the bottom
levels.
''If, after further development, the
deep mining proposition is proven it
may be that the mine owners will
drive another drainage tunnel. This
has been considered before and that
there is likelihood that third bore
will be constructed is putting it light
ly.
"The water is receding at the rate
of three inches day all over the
camp, which means one foot regsined
every four days
'It was long wait until the first
hundred feet should be recovered, bat
since work can be commenced in this
ground it will not be long until
another hundred feet is drained
"Many results have already obtained

have got in that territory long covered |
by water, and are now taking out ore.
In the last month about 200 men have
been put TO work The output will be
increased shortly, when direct results
will be seen palmer from the unwater-
ing of the mines.
THE important thing in that ORE
in quantities, has been found in the
