JOSEPH AUSTIN HOLMES
Engineering and Mining Journal.

United States conservation commits
sion and of the mining investigation
commission of the state of Illinois.
The work of accident prevention and
rescue, specially interested him, and
1t was largely owing to his influence
that the plan of equipping a number
of railroad cars as movable safety sta
tons was adopted. He also used all
his influence in favor of the measure
for the admission into the United
States free of duty OF rescue and safe
ty apparatus made abroad, in which
he was finally successful He had been
suffering for some time from the dis
ease of which he died, but 1t was not
until the last few months that he al
lowed this to interfere with his var
led activities
Personally Known to Mining Men.
Besides his official position, Dr.
Holmes was a fellow of the Geological
Society of America, member of the
American Institute of Mining Engin-
Society Of America, of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, the
American Society for Testing Mater
ials, the Washington Academy of
Sciences, the st. Louis Academy of
Sciences and many minor scientific
associations. He was great traveller
and was known personally to mining
men in almost every part of the coun-
try. With many of these he first came
in contact at the st, Louis exposition
in 1904, where the excellence and the
thoroughness OF his work and his tai
ents as an organizer were first gener-
ally recognized From that time on,
it may be said that he took the prom
inent position TO which his ability and
devotion to his work entitled him.
Naturally, he was an able teacher, and
his promotion was a serious loss to the
University of North Carolina which
he had served faithfully for more than
10 years and to which he continued to
be much attached, although he was
absorbed in his wider field of action.
Remarkable Personality.
Three years ago friendly critic In
Coal Age said of him-and his words
have been amply justified since:
only his force of character, united
to dexterity of action and ease of
manner, could have secured from con-
gress the recognition, financial and
otherwise, which has so far been ac-
corded the bureau of mines. Many
men have weight; Doctor Holmes has
momentum. Lots Of people know what
to do; he knows how to do it. His d.
plomacy is the sort that enables
man, without deception or hypocrisy,
to be seemingly the same to all men,
yet varying with each, according to
his popularity and according to the
mind Of the man at the time"
Doctor Holmes wa smarried in 1887
to Miss Jeanie L. Sprunt, of Whining
ton, N. G. He leaves two sons and
two daughters.

GREAT ELECTRIC HOIST
At GRANITE MOUNTAIN
UNUSUAL FEATURES EMBODIED
IN PLANT BEING INSTALL
ED AT BUTTE MINE.

Following Is an abstract taken from
a paper read before the Montana So
ciety of Engineers at Butte by G. b.
Rosenblatt, electrical engineer;
1.-THE hoist now in course of installa-
ton at the Granite Mountain shaft of
the North Butte Mining company is
the largest electrically driven hoist Of
the Ilgner type on the two American
continents. The hoist is designed to
handle tons of ore per trip. The or
binary hosting speed will be 27O0 feet
per minute, but arrangements are
made so that the speed can be increas-
ed to 5000 feet per minute. The equip
ment is designed to hoist from verti-
cal depth down 1000 feet and the cycles
of operations have been chosen to give
capacity from various levels approx
mately as follows:
1900 tons per hour from the 5000
foot level.
1850 tons per hour from the 5000
foot level.
1900 tons per hour from the 1000
foot level.
"The hoist has cylindrical drums II
feet in diameter and the rope to be
used will be Of 5-S inch pillow steel
1.-THE power required for hosting
will average about 1900 hp.; but to
accelerate, the peak load will vary
from $500 to 1900 hip.
"The direct current hoist motor has
nominal continuous rating Of 1885,
ip., and has an intermittent rating Of
275O hp. 1t is guaranteed to handle
$500 hp. for short time. The gener.
ator of the motor generator set has
a rating Of 1900 XIV. and can deliver
$3.50 XIV. without trouble. The driving
motor is 400 hp.
Remarkable Fly Wheel.

eter, weighs so tons, and will have ;
speed Of 400 to 500 rpm. The peri
pheral speed Of the fly wheel will b.

DR.. Joseph Austin Holmes, chief Of
the bureau of mines for just five years
past, or ever since 1t was organized
under its present form, died at Den
Yer, Colo, July II, aged 80. His death
was not unexpected by his intimate
friends, but it will be the cause of
widespread regret among the mining
fraternity Of all ranks, which he had
served well for a number of years,
since his work began long before the
bureau of mines was constituted as a
separate body.
Beginning of Career.
Doctor Holmes was born in Laurens,
s. c., in 1869. He was educated at To-
cal schools and at Chapel Hill, N. c.,
and graduated from Cornell university
at Ithaca, N. Y. in 1880, taking the
geological and scientific course. In
the following year he was appointed
professor of geology and natural his
tory at the University of North Caro-
lima and remained there for 10 years,
In fact, his connection with the uni
versity lasted very much longer for
he continued to lecture there for a
number of years after he had given
up the active duties of his professor
ship. In 1891 he was appointed state
geologist of North Carolina and for
three years devoted his time to the re-
organization and Improvement of the
department. He had taken an active
part in the geological exhibit at the
Buffalo exposition in 1901 and this
pointed to his selection as head of the
department of mines and metallurgy
at the st, Louis exposition in 1904,
While there he originated the idea of
a plant for testing fuels and struct-
ural materials, in the establishment of
which he was ably aided by Messrs,
Parker and Campbell. He continued
in charge of the geological survey lab
oratores for three years, at first in st.
Louis, then in Pittsburg and finally in
Washington. In 1907 he was made
cIll6l VI lIl6 lCSliliplObiS Va Wv
geological survey and held that posi-
ton until the bureau of mines was es-
tabllshed by act of congress on July |,
1910 There were several candidates
for the position of head Of that bur
eau, but when DR.. Holmes was finally
appointed, the universal appreciation
which greeted him in his new position
was sufficient evidence of the wisdom
of his selection.
Safety First Interested Him.
Since his appointment his activities
had been incessant, all branches of the
work receiving his constant attention
and supervision while at the same
time he gave as much as possible OF
his time to outside societies and to the
committee work which would aid In
the objects of the bureau. Thus he
served on the international mining
commission as representative Of the
United States to aid in the adoption O.
safety devices, both in this country
and abroad. He was a member of tn

THE MUDDIEsT RIVER.
The Missouri Carries More Silt Than
Any Other Stream,

Any Other Stream.
The Missouri is the muddiest river
in the Mississippi valley; it carries
more silt than any other large river in
the United States except possibly the
Rio Grande and the Colorado. For
every square mile of country drained
1t carries downstream 3S1 tons of dis
solved and suspended matter each
year. In other words, the river gath
ers annually from the country that it
drains more than 123,00OOO0 tons of
silt and soluble matter, some of which
1t distributes over the flood plains be-
low to form productive agricultural
lands, but most of which finds its way
at last to the Gulf of Mexico.
1t is by means of data of this kind
that biologists compute the rate at
which the lands are being eroded
away. 1t has been shown that the
Missouri river is lowering the surface
of the land drained by it at the rate Of
one foot in 6036 years. The surface
Of the United States as a whole is now
being worn down at the rate Of one
foot in 9120 years. 1t has been estin-
ated that If this erosive action of the
streams Of the United States could
have been concentrated on the isthmus
of Panama 1t would have dug in 70
days the canal which has just been
completed after 10 years work, with
the most powerful appliances yet de-
vised by man.
