a DRILL DUST EllMlNATOR

Thomas Mitchell. foreman of the
North Butte Mining company. has in
vented dust eliminator in connection
with drilling machines. 1t has been
claimed that great deal of the min
er's consumption has been brought
about by the dust from the drilling
machines. The apparatus does not
conflict with the changing of the drills
and the device, it is said, can be man
ufactured for less than so cents. An
exhibition test of the machines showed
that not u particle of the dust from the
drilling into the rock escaped, 1t all
being rum into a canvas tube. AS a
comparison the dust eliminator was
detached and the machine started up
Within a few seconds the air in the
raise in which the machine was OPP
Grating was filled with particle OF
metal laden dust, which. after min
ute was so thick that one could not
distinguish person a few feet away
through the candle light A patent has
been applied for the apparatus and al
ready some of the mines Of the Ana
conda company are adopting the dust
clmnator.

VcIume OF Flow Of Alaskan Rivers
Measured by Survey.

Since 1907 special feature of the
Alask Investigations of the United
States geological survey has been the
determination of the water supply of
the Yukon-Tanana region. Bulletin
5ao-H, just issued contains the data
procured during the field season of
1911. The measurements by the en-
ginccrs of the survey were made with
the regulation current meter, but as
water supply in mining districts is an
important resource and as rough es-
Inmates are sometimes Of greatest
value, a method of making float meas
urements which can be readily under
taken by the prospector or the miner
is described in the bulletin.
The floats in common use are the
surface. subsurface and tube or rod
floats A corked bottle with a flag in
the top and weighted at the bottom
makes one Of the most satisfactory
floats as it is affected but little by
wind. In flood measurements good
results can be obtained by observing
the velocity of the floating cakes of
ice or debris. In all surface floating
measurements the observed velocity
must he multiplied by 0.S5 to 0.90 to
reduce 1t to the mean velocity. The
sub surface and tube or rod floats are
intended to give directly the mean
velocity in the vertical Tubes give
excellent results when the channel
conditions are good, as in canals,
In measuring velocity by float, OBJ
servation is made Of the time taken
by the float to pass over the run
a selected stretch of river or creek
from 80 to 600 feet long, In each dis
charge measurement a large number
of velocity determinations are made at
different points across the stream and
from these observations the mean
velocity for the whole section is de-
termined.
The area used in float measurements
is the mean of the areas at the two
ends of the run and at several inter-
mediate sections.
