The ore comes from the mines on
trains drawn by electric engines. 1t is
dumped by electricity upon screens the
wires of which are as thick as your
thumb. and it passes thence into i'm
mense crushers. which take the largest
pieces and break them into Jumps
about two inches thick.
From these screens the ore goes into
storage bins of 10000 tons each. and
from them il is carried by skips and
wide belt conveyors through sets of
steel rollers that work on the princi-
pie of clothes wringer. The rollers
are so graduated that they crush the
ore finer and finer as it goes through
one set after another, until the great
rocks are reduced to a powder fine
as the flour of which cream crackers
are made.
The -four, which contains the rock
and gold. is then passed over shaking
