Chicagos Fire Prevention Drama

In the observance of fire prevention day-a most
laudable enterprise designed decrease the number of
fires and incidentally lower the insurance rate-Ch-
cago look the lead most picturesquely. As object
lesson fire prevention there enacted in Chicago
last Monday the burning of the OIeary barn which
set the city fire in 1871
The barn, the and the lantern according to the
advance notices. to be found in Grant park at the
foot Of Van Buren, street, of the Illinois Central
tracks At 1880 o'clock in the evening the TO
kick the lantern, the barn take fire, and
there to be z real blaze However, at that point
the enactment of the burning of Chicago end,
for fire company was to make fast and
tnguish the flames. The purpose of the demonstration
TO WHY, IN the minds of Chicagoans, what hap
pened in that city 1871 and impress the necessity
Of safeguarding against the danger Of fire.
Just what lesson in fire prevention was impaired
through the little drama IS not easy to see unless It
be to tie the cows legs and use electric light.

Economizing On Mineral Waste

Just IN the packing house, where every part Of a
hog but the squea has commercial value the pTin-
cple of economy is being extended IN the mining in
dustry. There was a time, and not many years ago,
when the ailings thrown out dump from the mine
mills considered useless. It known that con-
siderable metal to waste N that way but it was
not considered worth while attempting to
That day has passed Not only have most Of the big
failing dumps of the southwest been worked in the
past few years and their mineral content still further
extracted, but refnements IN treating machinery
have greatly reduced the amount of minerals which
used to 90 into the tailings.
As example Of the era in mining the Ray Con-
solidated Copper company at Ray, Arizona, IS now
preparing to build mill costing $4,000 for the
treatment of tangs from its already very economical
concentration. It will treat about 5000 tons Of mate
nal day and viii furnish employment for between
200 and 300 men.
These figures themselves furnish lesson in the value
Of economy In mining IN other affairs. Il stands to
reason the record Of the Ray Consolidated management
being what II IS, that the company would not under
take half million dollar expenditure IN addition to
increased daily operating expenses Of close to $1,000
unless it expected to make profit the investment;
in other words unless lot of perfectly good copper
at present going to waste despite the most modern
concentration processes.
