The greatest curiosity in the history

Modern Methods Of Mining Slow OF
Adoption on the Rand.
Engineering and Mining JournaD

Engineering and Mining JournaD
At the recent annual meeting of the
Van Ryn, WitwaterSrand mining
company Mr. Albu, one of the officers
apparently, in response to some ques~
tions, made the following remarks, ac-
cordng to the South African Mining
Review of January, 1914:
Several rock drills have been In
troduced on the Rand, with more or
less success. but the question always
has been the great cost of maintenance
Those small machines get useless in q
short time, and that has proved great
dra wback. The rock drills are there
but the cost of maintenance Is too
great at present We are trying in one
OF our mines a new rock drill-the
Leyner air drill--of which, up 20 re
Gently, we have had quite satisfactory
reports. I am quite convinced that
sooner or later rock drill will be es-
tablshed, because it will be an enorm
Gus fortune to the man who invented
It, and 1t will prove a great saving t.
the companies: in fact, will brine
about quite a revolution in the whole
industry. Working costs will be de
creased and requirements for capita
will so down one-t third and it will d.
away with that awful question of Ia

We looked carefully at the date o.
the publication in which this appeared
thinking it might be 1884 instead O
1914, but there seems to be no ms

TO PROTECT ENTRYMEN.
A Good Bill Favorably Reported to the
House Committee.

The secretary Of the interior has
mittee on public lands in the house on
the bill introduced by Representative
Addison T. Smith. giving preference
right to qualified entrymen who make
application for the designation of land
for entry under the enlarged home
stead act. Under the existing law a
prospective entryman who searches
out a desirable piece of land and makes
application to have 1t designated for
entry under the enlarged homestead
act may, after the land is designated,
be confronted with the fact that some
one else has reached the land office and
entered the land he may have selected.
The prospective entryman who APP
plies for the designation of the land
has no assurance that, when the land
is designated, he will secure 1t. The
proposed law advocated by Congress
man Smith will protect hundreds OF
prospective entrymen who go to the
trouble of locating desirable lands 81
that when the land is designated their
entry will he confirmed.
Under the proposed law a record
will be made on the plats Of the local
land office, of the application for des-
ignation, and when the land Is
designated the entryman will he noti-
fled that his application has been al
lowed. This Is one Of the many
changes proposed by Mr.. Smith In the
land laws intended to protect those
who are endeavoring to secure home
on the public domain.

securing the world for water power
sites and have secured many such
where eventually great power works
will be constructed, from which the
pulsations that will move heavy trains
and run large factories will be carried
along heavy cables Of copper metal
that will consume the output of the
mines when this era reaches the max
imum Of its growth.
The tentacles Of these power works

cial and manufacturing purposes tina,
will be in the direct outgrowth of this
eiectrifcation, will reach Throughout,

Great as has been the output of cop

This result has been accomplished
too during the greatest augmented
production of copper the world has

Causes for Present Demand.
When we diagnose the situation we
find that it is a natural one arising
from the economics and direct needs
of the times Manufacturing indus
tries were quick to scent the utility Of
copper at the reduced prices it could
be bought for but a few years ago and
began using the metal in industries in
which it had heretofore not been used

to the change found it difficult to

Naval and Commercial Uses.
Immense quantities OF copper have
entered into the construction Of auto
mobiles and warships two classes of
things that have reached an enormous
production in the last few years
Many other lines have used the
metal more and more. aside from the

consumed the greatest quantities OF
