FORTUNES IN SIGHT
 IN SILVER FOX FURS

WINNIPEG. Man. March 2S. -- Furs of the silver fox worth many times their first weight in gold in shops of New York and Chicago will be grown for market this year on fox farm near Edmonton That this in. dustry should be started at Wetaski- win, almost at the threshold of Edmon- ton, the great primary market for furs, shows what changes have been wrought in the once primeval regions of Peace River, the Athabasch and the Mckenzie by the influx of settlers intent on agriculture.
 One of the most interesting prob lens of fox growing is that of undo ing what a century of hunting and trapping has done in sharpening the wits of tho fox, that 1t may keep well beyond the reach of man. Whether the silver foxes win retain their fine fur and remarkable acuteness of their intelligence when breeding under half domesticated conditions of the new fox farm will be an interesting study for naturalyist But some veterans of the fur trade are backing their conviction with s35,O00 that they can produce the skins which sell in London for many times their weight in gold, and when dressed, for fabulaus sums in the great centres of Europe and America.
 On the Peace River in mortimer Al berta and in the vicinity cf Fort Yer million. where there is already an ag- ricultural population and an electrical ly lighted mill. fox belts are secured in smaller numbers than years ago. With settlers swarming into the Peace River district 10 begin farming in that particularly fertile region. and with the building of the Canadian Northern railway. the hunters and trappers see the beginning of the end.
 But the end is not yet by any means On January 17 trapper ar rived at Edmonton with s22,000 worth of live foxes and skins in an automo- bile. The first transaction Of the sea son represented deal of s24,000, which included Il black foxes, 400oth-

INSPIRATION MINE
 HOIST A TRIUMPH
 IN ELECTRIC WORK

One of the most important develop ments of the year 1913 in the appli
 cation of electricity to mining service consists of the electrically driven au. tomatic hoist recently designed for the Inspiration Consolidated Copper Mining Co.,, of Miami, says Mining Science. This electrical equipment is designed for the relatively low hoist. ing speed of 75O feet per minute. and for automatic operation. although an emergency equipment for hand oper- ation is also provided. The hoisting will be done at the rate of l ,000 tons per hour from each of two shafts having a depth of 63O feet Tho two balanced hoists are each independent. ly driven by 750 horsepower. 575 volt direct current motor. to which current is supplied from a flywheel motor generator set consisting of two soc lilowat. senators driven by a 76O horsepower induction motor The ar. rangement of this hoisting service. due to the immense tonnage which can be brought to the surface by the set, and saving in the operation of

supplied to each .set at l,009 volts. and the motors are connected In se. ries Current for their operation Is received from the Victoria Falls & Transvaal Power Co.'S lines at 2,0O0 volts. and is transmitted to the hoist motors through 0 motor generator set consisting of two 1850 kilowatt gen. orators driven by a 5000 horse power motor. No flywheel is used
 An idea Of the service conditions under which these motors operate may be gained from the fact that they hoist eight tons per trip from a maxi mum depth of 3.54O feet, at a speed of $500 feet per minute. which Is equivalent to about 40 miles per hour; and during the hoisting cycle the load varies as much as 12.500 horse power in period of 90 second, the maxi mum positive load reaching 5000 horsepower.
 In view of their unusual size (the total weight aggregating 90 tons), 1t was necessary to ship these equip ments in sections, and to reassemble them at the mines.

This set is the largest automatic hoisting outfit in the United States. and the attend ance actually required ls limited to the starting and stopping of the mo. tors at the beginning and ending of the operating periods. which will aver. age about 14 hours per day. and an occasional inspection and renewal of the lubricant.
 These hoisting equipments are. how. ever, dwarfed by the mammoth du- plicate hoisting sets recently shipped to the gold mines of the Rand in South Africa. one for the Crown Mines, Ltd, and the other for the Modderfontein Gold Mining Co.,, Ltd. These are the largest mining hoists in the world. each set consisting of two 2,000 horse power motors installed one a. each end of the hoist and directly con. nected to the hoist shaft. Each mo- tor is over 16 feet in diameter. and operates at 53Is r. D. m. Current is

GREAT ELEPHANT BUTTE PROJECT MAKING
 GOOD PROGRESS; OVER HOO MEN NOW ON THE PAY ROLL; EFFICIENCY IS ON THE GAIN

increased. as 1t is desired to flll this portion before high water.
 One of the most difficult problems is to obtain sufficient suitable materi- al for use fin masonry. Three quarries are now being operated, three shifts, but can scarcely furnish sufficient material. On account of limited room and derrick capacity. only a certain number of men can be employed in the quarries to advantage. Seven der ricks are in use with an average force of 26 men to each derrick.
 The grouting of the first block. near the Hume, has been completed and the grouting machine moved to a new block just east of 1t. About one third of the holes in this block have been drilled. The .srouting so far done, also the experiments are tests made with the grouting machine, in dicate an exceptionally tight founda- tion. Even with a pressure In excess of 100 pounds to the square inch, the maximum quantity of cement force into the foundation from any one hole was not over one1half bar rel.
 The sand-cement plant continues to do excellent work. It has been turn ing out from 1900 to 1900 barrels per day running only two shifts, and 1t is probably this output can be increased without putting an an additional shift. Occasionally 1400 barrels per day has been about equal to the output of the mill. Portland cement is coming in at the rate of 800 barrels per day; this rate will probagly soon be increased.
 Labor Conditions Excellent.
 Labor conditions have been excel lent, in fact. common labor has been coming in SO freely that accommoda- tions were overtaxed and additional bank houses had to be provided. There are now over HOO men on the payroll. A number of small eating houses or restaurants have been erected for the use of the Mexicans and they seem to i'll long felt want. These houses are of three compart' menis, living room. kitchen and open eating room. all openings screened, and furnished with stove. table and benches They are rented to em- ployes with families who agree to board certain number of men.

ELEPHANT BUTTE, N. M.. March 2S.-Exceptionally favorable weather conditions and plenty of common la bor have enabled the work to con tinue steadily along the lines laid out. While no worlds records have been broken, there has been a continual improvement incident to the correc- ton of defects in plant, that could not be detected until tried out under the most severe conditions.
 Plant Required Tuning Up.
 To some it may appear that such a plant should have been designed to work perfectly from the start under every and all conditions. The entire construction plant Is novel in this, that 1t Is designed to be as nearly automatic in its operation as possible. Without precedent to profit by 1t is not strange that certain adjustments are necessary from time to time, as conditions and capacities change. ln- creased efficiency in one operation may show some other part must be improved to meet this increase. About a week ago it was found that with an unusually large days output of con crete the cement conveyor would not furnish settlement cement. This has been corrected, but is merely one instance of the tuning up" that can only be perfected as actual conditions develop new problems.
 Masonry Work Progressing.
 Masonry work has continued un. interrupted throughout the month. During the latter half of February only one cable was used in placing concrete but since March 1, two cables and two mixers, were used. During the two weeks in February $500 cubic yards of masonry was placed, an average per day of S20 cubic yards. while the best days run was 920 cubic yards. During the first of masonry was placed, a daily aver age of 1170 cubic yards. the best days run being 1500 cubic yards. It is ex- pected that by the end of the month 1500 cubic yards will be the daily average and the best days run several hundred cubic yards higher.
 The total masonry now in place is 12S,00O cubic yards. The lower DOT ton of the foundation is entirely GOV cred, distance of about 400 feet parallel with the axis of the dam. Six derricks are now being used on ma sorry work, four of them being on the wall and raised every, Sunday, while the other two are located at the easterly abutment and some distance above the dam.
 To Increase Excavation Force
 Since March 1, excavation for foun- dation has been confined to the west abutment where small gangs, working two shifts, are preparing for masonry just west of Hume. Within a few days this force will be considerably

The Oasis, of Nogales. tells in thi, weeks issue of the arrival in No gales. of Mir. and Mrs. Adrian Marcor from their home in the Alamos dis trict. with Jose Sandoval and Rafael Rosas. all well known people to many Americans in this part of Arizona who have had business at different times and property interests in the Alamos district. The Marcor story as told in the Oasis is of exceeding interest and follows:
 Monday evening there were brought up from the south. on the train from Hermosillo, two well known people Of the Alamos District of Sonora. and two others of less conspicuousness in that part of the state, who were tray cling under strong military guard. and upon their arrival at Nogales. So- nora, where they were ordered to cross into the United States, and re- turn not: to do so they were admon. ished, would be at the penalty of their lives. Three were deported outright while one. the lady, Mrs Adrian Mar. cor, was permitted to accompany her husband. who had been made to feel the displeasure of the constitutional list authorities in many ways Tho four persons mentioned are Mir. and Mrs. Adrian Marcor of Alamos. .ioge Sandoyal of Huatabampo. and Rafael Rosas of Alamos.
 Mir Marcor has been one of the most proninen Maderistas in s nora and tEat those who claim to be ra.iy ing cut Mndci sta principles and lG.. cies, should visit upon him SO great a penalty as repatriation seems remark able. From the very inception of the Madero movement Mir. Marcor was an ardent adherent and supporter of the cause. When Madero was tray. cling through Mexico and urging the people to make a stand against the DiaZ administration. upon visiting Al. amos he was refused hotel accommo- dalton. and at the risk of the displeas- ure of the authorities Mir Marcor ex. tended the Inequalities of his own homo. entertaining the daring visitor through a period of several days.
 When the Madero cause had tri umphed and the new regime had sue ceeded to power. Mir. Marcor was made prefect of the Alamos District and he held that important and re sponsible post through some two years. discharging efficiently and of fectively its arduous, strenuous du ties. It is related that after the over throw of Madero and the decision oi the State of Sonora to oppose witt the force of arms the Huerta admins tration. Mir. Marcor clashed witt some of the subordinate officials ii his district who manifested a dispo sition to commit irregularities in ad ministration and violations of thei official trusts. One of the most eS alted officials in the constitutionalis regime. clashed with Prefect Marcoi and there were made many disagreC able issues. A presidente raised
 force in his own town and marche upon Alamos. Prefect Marcor raise force to repel the attack, and O. March 17th of last year gave battle ( the invader, defeating him. Anothe and larger force was sent against A amose by the constitutionalists. tn

Prince William, the son of the king of Sweden, has started pro ceedings for divorce from his wife, the former Grand Duchess Marie Pavlovna of Russia, whom he married in 1908. The affairs of the young couple have been before the public for some time. Friends have tried their utmost to bring about re- conciliation of the royal pair, until the final break came, when the prin- cess deserted her royal spouse after he had upbraided and slapped her, following her escapade with the Rus sian minister to Sweden.
