NORTH BUTTE'S BIG HOIST.
Electrical Machinery to be Among the
Best in the Country.

The following description OF the
electric hoist to be installed in tho
Granite Mountain shaft of the North
Butte property appeared in a recent
issue of the Mining and Scientific
Press:
An electric hoist with a capacity
Of 300 tons per hour from 1000 feet.
ana 200 tons from 1000 feet depth
and one ot the largest i'm the world.
is To be installed at the New Granite
Mountain shaft of the above mine
The present depth Of this shaft is
1900 feet, and skips holding seven
tons of ore eacn will be used.
To Use lIgner System.
The system Of control and power
equalization used will be that COM
monty known as the Ilgucr system in
which a wheel driven by the motor
generator set is permitted 10 give MP

steel housing, and provided with spe-
cial type OF self-lubrieating bearings.

"Th" hosting drums which will be
l. feet i'm diameter. will he driven h.
a direct connected electric motor run
ming At a speed of about II revolu-
tons per minute. Power will be sun
piled 10 this motor from motor gem

peaks that would be drawn from the
power line during period of starting
and acc"lcration. The hosting motor

of very heavy construction. and vii!
have maximum intermittent rating
of 4,5oO-horsc power. and the motor
generator set will be driven by an in
duction motor having a continuous
normal rating of l.4O0-horse power.
Power Lire Constant.
The difference between these rat
ings represents approximately the
amount OF energy that will be sup

during starting. Tho installation is

from the power line will be practic-
ally constant throughout any cycle Of
hosting. Hosting with this equip
mcnt will be done in balance, hut it is
large enough To take care of unbal-
anced Lolstings. Round rope. rs
inches in diameter will be used. and
the engine is designed for normal
rope speed of 300 feet with a maxi
mum of 5000 feet per minute,
Many Safety Devices.
"A number Of special safety devices
are included i'm the equipment, includ-
ing electrically released brakes; auto
matte slow down devices to prevent
skip or cage going through head
sheaves and a special controller To
limit the speed when hosting men.

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-

stomach muscles become weak and

Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty of
exercise, but this latter is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is GER

always be avoided, as 1t is dangerous
to life and health. The best plan is
to take a mild laxative as often as Is

Eudora. Kan. March 19.-In the TN

farmer, who IL known as the potato
king OF Kansas. He lives in a twenty
two room house with all the con-

Fifty-five thousand bushels was the

Groves king was a long one-thirty

started on his famous spudotic career.

Hamilton County Farmers Want Deep
Well Tests.
Syracuse, Kan, March 19.-Out Of
the $125.000 appropriation made by
tho last legislature for irrigation tests
in a few Of the western Kansas coun-
ties. Hamilton county is to get appar-
emily q meager portion of benefit. The
big well drilling outfit recently pur-
chased by the new state irrigation
board arrived overland few days ago
for operations near here and has
caused revival Of the kicks register
ed against the boards windmill ia
voritism.
When western Kansas lobbied for
the big appropriation last winter it
wanted deep well irrigation with
pumping engines tried out. It was to
satisfy this desire the appropriation
was made and the irrigation board
formed. Now the board tells western
Kansas farmers the way to irrigate is
with windmills and proceeds to install
windmill irrigation stations in the
various counties and give demonstra-
tons Of windmill irrigation. Pumping
with wind power is as old as the set
Element Of western Kansas itself and
farmers feel that the board Ia spend
ing the appropriation to teach them
something already well known. Ham,
ilton county's portion will be six ordi-
nary windmills pumping from q depth
of about Is feet.
