INVENTOR OF THE
SQUARE SET" dies

Poor, old, almost forgotten, but
hopeful to the last that his mining
claims would restore his lost fortunes,
Philip Diedesheimer is dead at his
home, 2SOS Clay street, San Francisco.
His devoted wife was with him to the
end. Death came through infirmities
due to his advanced age, 81 years.
Philip Deidesheimer invented the
Square set" used in timbering wide
veins. He never patented it. By the
use of the square set" it became pos
sible to extract the ore with safety in
the wide and rich veins of the Com
stock lode.
Because Philip Deidesheimer show
ed the way. the fortunes of Mackey,
Fair, Flood, O'Brien, Baldwin, Shar-
on. the Sherwoods, Sandy" Bowers,
Morrow and others came into being.
The Square set is used all over
the world today where veins exist.
Without it the mining of these wide
veins is all but impossible. Deide-
sheimer's original idea, which came
to him in 1860, has never been improv-
ed upon.
What Philip Deidesheimer did when
confronted with the problem of taking
ore out of a 65-foot vein and prevent
the walls from caving in was to fill
the vacant space after the ore was
taken out with skeleton boxes about
six feet square. After the ore was out
the space was filled with these tim
bers, like a honeycomb. Later, waste
was thrown in.
D~eidesheimer RAJ a famous mining
engineer and expert in his day.
He not only solved the problem of
getting out the big bonanzas of the
Comstock lode, but he was the first
engineer to report on the project to
bring water from Lake Tahoe to San
Francisco. In his day the estimate
was $4,000 900.
Deidesheimer made three or four
fortunes. He finally lost because, like
many another old-timer, he stuck to
a few of his early friends.
Deidesheimer's life reads like a ro-
nance. Born in Germany in 1882. he
came to the United States in 1851. af-
ter taking a technical course in the
old country. He came to California
in 1852 on the steamer Cortez through
the Straits of Magellan, and immedi-
ately on his arrival went to Forest
Hill, operating a drift mine, which
paid for years.
Later he bought a claim which de-
veloped into the profitable Marine
duke" mine near Georgetown.

G.. N. MAY DRIVE
1O-MILE TUNNEL

WENATCHEE, Jan. 29.-The
slide at Corea on the Great
Northern last Saturday, has re-
vived talk of the proposed long
tunnel through the mountain.
The survey has been made and
the proposition has been given
serious consideration by the
Great Northern railway officials.
The tunnel would start at a
point midway between Merritt
and Gaynor. and would come
out at Scenic Hot Springs, 10
miles away. This when finished
would eliminate all difficulty
which has been experienced in
the past On account of deep
SHOWS and heavy slides.
The prospective tunel would
have a maximum grade of only
/ per cent. The cost OF such a
tunnel would approximate ST.
100000.
