LARGEST ELECTRIC
HOIST IN AMERICA
NORTH BUTTE PREPARES FOR
INSTALLATION OF UNIQUE
EQUIPMENT

During the first week of November
the directors of the North Butte
Mining company, in a meeting at
inghouse Electric & Manufacturing
company the contract for what will
be the largest electric hoist In the
two American continents and one of
the largest of it's kind in the world.
The hosting drums, which will be
IL feet in diameter, will be driven by
a direct connected electric motor run-
ming at a speed of about IL revolu-
tons per minute. Power will be sup
piled to this motor from a motor
generator set equipped with a 50-ton
fiy-wheel to secure elimination of the
peaks that would be drawn from the
power line during period of starting
and aceleration.
Hosting with this equipment will
be done in balance, but the equip
ment is large enough to take care of
unbalanced hosting.
Skips will be used for handling the
ore and each skip will have a capac-
ity of Z tons of ore.
Round rope sin. in diameter
will be used and the equipment is
27OO-ft per minute with a maximum
of 3500-ft. per minute.
This hoist will be installed on the
new Granite Mountain shaft, which
at present is rapidly approaching the
%29OO-foot level.
The capacity of the hoist will per-
nit 800 tons per hour being hoisted
from the 2000-foot level, or 200 tons
per hour from the 400O-foot level.
The system of control and power
equalization used will be that COM
monty known as the Ilgner system,
in which a fly-wheel driven by the
motor generator set is permitted to
give up some of its stored energy
to supply the peak load drawn up by
the hosting motor.
In order to reduce the fy-wheel
losses to a minimum, the fy-wheel
will be incased in a smoothly fin
ished steel housing and provided
with sPccial type of self-lubricating
bearings.
The hosting motor will be of the
type used in steel mills and will be of
a very heavy construction. In fact,
all of the equipment has been de-
signed with absolute reliability as the
paramount consideration. The cleo
trical equipment alone will weigh in
excess of $50 tons.
A number of special safety de-
vices are included in the equip
ment, including electrically released
brakes; automatic showdown devices
to prevent skip or cage ever going
through head sheaves and a special
controller to limit the speed when
hosting lei
The hoist motor will have a max
imum intermittent rating of 1900
horsepower and the motor generator
set will be driven by an induction
motor having a continuous normal
rating of 14O0-horsepower.
The difference between these
ratings represents approximately the
amount of energy that will be sup
during starting.
The installation is so designed
that the draft of the power line will
be practically constant throughout
any cycle of Notwithstanding
Science.

The gratifying feature about the
December operations is that not only
do they show an increase of All tons

the ore showed net profits of $7.S2

the whip vigorously applied and the

was on.
AS the pony made his slow way
through the drifts the brother had
time to wonder what a frozen sister

National Political NeUs-
TBY ELISHA HANSON. j.

Washington, D. c., April 1.-Party
leaders in all parties are anxiously
, waiting the opportunity to take the
Panama canal tolls fight to the people
with the exception of the leaders Of
the democratic party.
On all hands here, it is admitted that
President Wilson has raised the issue
not only for the congressional election
this fall, but for the presidential cleo
ton in 1916.
The progress Of the fight in the
house has illustrated one thing plain
! ly. The fight within the democratic
party over the question Of repeal is
only sham battle, and once it is set
tied one way or the other, probably the
presidents way the losers will fall in
line with the victors and uphold the
presidents stand before the people. In
other words, the democrats look on 1t
largely as an open caucus fight, with
the galleries looking on and the repub.
licans and progressives on the floor
largely in the capacity of trouble
makers.
No one here imagines for an instant
that the democratic party is split wide
open over the issue. True, Underwood
Clark, Fitzgerald and other prominent
men in the party. the most prominent
in the house, in fact, sided against the
president on the issue Of repeal. But
these men did nothing further than to
express their own personal opinions on
the subject.
That they made no effort to organize
is shown plainly by the fact that only
one other democrat in Missouri fol-
lowed Clark's lead on the repeal and
not single democrat in Alabama fol
lowed Underwood. Even the presi.
dents closest advisers believe he
would have been beaten two to one
had he not extracted promise from
the democratic house leaders not to
organize opposition against the repeal.
Underwood would have carried the
south as phalanx against him, had he
desired to- Clark would have swung
his old organization into line with
equal ease In fact, many Of the fifty
five democrats who voted against the
president, outside of these leaders.
were among the original Wilson"
men before the nomination and cleo
ton in 1912
The progressive party hopes to make
the most out of the repeal fight. 1t
is practically united in its opposition
to the repeal. The republicans, when
the fight started in the house. were as
much divided on the question of repeal
as the democrats The republican
leaders did all within their power to
whip the repeal men" into line

Tommy wasn't looking for trouble in

And so the gale roared, the snow

spent so much time in kicking when
the kicks did no good.

against repeal during the debate on
this issue:
That while the president had urged
the repeal on international grounds.
they favored it only on economic
grounds. The president having re.
fused to let them clear the act of in
ternational construction, they were
Justified in opposing the repeal purely
on that basis.
In other words. the republican lead
ers wanted the party to go on record
as opposing treaty construction by con-
gress, Preserve the rights and deter
mine the economic policy whenever
a new one is need, was their way of
looking at it,
The democrats are chary of the re-
suits in the November election. The
democratic leaders pleaded with Presi-
dent Wilson to go slow on the Panama
repeal message. The president had his
mind made up, however, and put it in
to the house. Had he waited until af-
ter the election this fall he probably
would have had a solid delegation
back Of him. AS 1t was many members
felt compelled. by reason of local SEN
timent, to go against him. So the men
who voted against him really ex-
pressed their districts views, as re-
flected through themselves. Many
others supported him with doubt in
their minds.
The most disconcerting thing of the
whole matter was word from London
Immediately after the fight started
that Sir Edward Grey, the British for
eign minister. had about decided to ac-
cept the declaration of Former Secre-
tary Knox that this country had full
control over the canal as far as it's
operation is concerned, and that the
international phase entered in only in
connection with all other foreign coun-
tries. Word from continental Europe
and South America was practically to
the same effect
The writer heard former diplomat
say that while in London only ten days
ago he heard that all Europe looked
on President Wilson as having gone
altogether too fast.
That the president sincerely be-
lieves the treaty violated. no one
doubts though, and even though he'll

believed his position is that he prefers
to give up rights he can hold by force
or circumstance, when not entitled toll

relations the world over as far as this,
country is concerned.
But now that he has made a step in
the Panama matter, his friends in his
party are fearful for his next move.

VOLCANOES IN JAPAN.
They May Appear Innocent, but They
Are Not to Be Trusted.

They May Appear Innocent, but They
Are Not to Be Trusted.
In his new guidebook to the Japa-
nese empire T. Philip Terry refers to
the fact that in Japan there are up
ward of fifty active volcanoes of the
type of the now notorious Sakurajima,
in Kagoshima bay, Kyushu island, and
that what might be termed their spe-
cial custom is to remain quiescent for
a few Observation-Disclosures, more than
a century-then suddenly to blow up
and main or kill every one within
reach of their wrath.
One of the most vicious examples OF
their treacherous habit is Asamayama,
Japan's grouchiest volcano, which rises
$500 feet above the sea, near Karliza-
wa, on the Shainano highland. It is
often referred to as the Japanese We
suvius than which it is 1880 feet
higher, because of it's similarity to
ltaly's terror. Prior to May, 1911, it
remained practically dead for 125
years; then it erupted with startling
suddenness and killed number of un-
fortunate tourists who were standing
on it's uppermost rim gazing into it's
yawning crater The explosions are
now frequent and fearsome, and
formidable earth tremors are some
times felt as far east as Tokyo and
Yokohama.
Terry warns American travellers
with mountain climbing proclivities to
beware of the innocent appearing jap
anese volcanoes, as they are not to be
trusted.
