Miscellaneous Mining Information

Railroad magnates have discovered
that steel rails carrying small per-
centage of copper are remarkably dur
able. AS result Of this discovery. a
good deal of attention has been given
to the use Of copper as steel alloy.
The event has even been referred to as
one of revolutionary importance, since
the strength and life of the rail are
such as to offset in large measure the
increased cost of the red metal. 1t has
been suggested that ores carrying iron.
with percentage of copper not other
wise profitable, may be smelted spec
tally for rail making. If this should
not happen, the new rail may develop
large additional demand upon our
copper resources.

FreiberQ Silver Mines.

It Is reported that the silver mines
at Freiberg Saxony. will be perma-
nently closed this year, although one Of
them may be kept in operation for the
education of the youth who secure
their theoretical knowledge of mining
on that classic spot. Since the drop in
the price of silver twenty years ago,
the output of these mines has steadily
diminished. They were originally open
ed in the year 1853, and they reached
their maximum production in 1572.
They have yielded close to 5000 tons
of silver during their active history.

Freezing Method in Coal Mining.
It was not until 1883, when Poetsc(
invented the freezing method that
Hollands coal fields became of any
practical value. Where coal Is en-
countered Immediately under the solid
rock there is a stratum of drift sand
that contains great quantities of water.
This condition of things made 1t prac-
tically impossible to sink shafts. The
freezing method, however, has success
fully solved the problem, and Holland
now has Furnishing mining industry.
On the spot where the shaft Is to be
dug from Is to 30 borings are made
down through the drift sand to the
solid rock in circle five feet larger in
diameter than the projected smart.
Pipes are then sunk into these bore
holes, and through these Is circulated,
by powerful freezing machines,
chemical solution cooled to below zero.
In this way the drift sand containing
the water is frozen as hard as rock
after the freezing machines have been
working for two months.

for sending an army Of not less than
10000 against MaytOrena, Pesquiera
and Obregon, the rebel leaders, but this
optimism was not fully shared by the
public
Friends of the administration refused
to admit the strength OF a rebellion
based largely on sentiment or person
ahues. This new revolt is based on
these two things, but behind IL there
is a well defined grievance expressed
by those who insist that the new ad-
ministratiOn is nothing more than
return to power OF the old utilitarian
group, who, they allege, will make no
effort TO put into effect the reforms
promised in the plan of San Luis PO-
tOsi," on which Madero's revolution
was based.
Primarily the new revolt is based on
sentiment. It's leaders are, or pretend
to be, Mortified by the killing OF Ma
dero and Pine Suarez and characterize
Huerta as a mere uSurper. To them
Madero dead, and now a martyr, is
more powerful, perhaps, than he was
during the last months Of his life
Whether the contention Of the capital
that the movement against Huerta is
bound to falli is true or not, IL is
fact that the rebels in the northwest
gained many recruits during the first
days Of the rebellion.
Military men realize that a cam
paign in Sonora would be by no means
simple. There is reason to believe that
it will not be easy to get together in
a short time the 10000 men II is pro-
done, however, their mobilization and
transport will be a. difficult task
The movement of an army OF 10000
in Mexico means the movement also Of
thousands Of women, a necessary ad-
junct under the army's present Organi-
cation, since these women take the
place largely Of a cOmmissary depart
ment. Transit by land of from 10000
to $4,000 human beings, together with
artillery. horses, mules and other
equipment, presents manifold Difficult
ties. The easiest way would be TO send
them by sea to Guaymas, but Mexico
has none too many transports
The government counts upon the reb-
els being unable to secure any great
quantity Of money. and believes that
arms and ammunition viii be difficult
to procure On the other hand, how
ever, the government will have to Sc
cure great amounts Of money If it sue
