SHAFT SINKING RECORD
T|N|T|C DISTRICT, UTAH
CHARACTER OF ROCK, EQUIP.
MENT AND DETAILS OF THE
PERFORMANCE.

The record was made in the month
of August at the Chief Consolidated
Mining companys shaft at Homans-
vile, Tintic district, Utah.
In 81 days the shaft was sunk total
distance of 261 feet.
The shaft consists of three compart-
ments. The two hosting compart-
n.ents being 4 feet, 2 inches square
il side measurements, and the third, OF
man-way, compartment 4 feet, 2 in
ches by feet, inches. Timber
used consisted of by inches for the
sets and by IL tagging for the out
side lining. The sets were spaced
6 feet apart.
The rock was limestone lying in flat
beds, some of which were quite hard
and some soft.
The shaft was operated in three
shifts of four machine-men each and a
topman and engineer on each shift
On day shift two timbermen did the
timbering.
The Sullivan and Denver rock drill
sinking machines were used. Two
five-foot rounds of about % holes each
were drilled per day.
The timbermen worked on what was
termed suspended bulkhead and
shooting set" consisting of a set of
Is by inch timbers, the same size
as the shaft sets, with ID inch sheet
iron plates bolted on the bottom of the
two outside compartments. This de-
vice was suspended on both ends by
means of one ton chain blocks hung
from two sets above, allowing the
bukhead to be lowered a sufficient dis
lance from the bottom set to allow a
new set of timbers to be put in place.
without stopping the work of the
machine men and shovelers below
This arrangement added greatly to the
safety and speed of sinking.
Hosting was done through the CEN
ter compartment only, by means OF
two 15H cubic foot buckets used al
ternately and dumped automatically
on top into a car by means of chain
hung from the head frame. This
chain was hooked into a ring on the
bottom of the bucket, holding the bot.
tom stationary and allowing it to til
on an incline-door and chute, thereby
discharging it's contents.
Walter Fitch, Jr., was manager; j
D. Matheson, superintendent; and ]
H. Santo, foreman.

Possibilities of Copper Development In
The Far North Along the Arctic Coast

THE region may become one of the
great copper producers of the world,
It is now still inaccessible, but the
easternmost exposure of these rocks,
SO far as is known, is not more than
500 miles distant from navigable wat
lie in Hudson Bay, over a possible rail-
road route. And railroad from the
south is already projected to within
800 miles of their most westerly eX-
posture. As far back as 1S45 Alex
lander Simpson anticipated that lit is
possible that ere this country has
passed, an organized system of inter-
nal communication such as that which
traverses northern Asia may place this
valuable natural deposit within the
reach of commerce" He was too san
guine. The climate is severe. But
so is that of Lake SUPERIOR and for
about % years after the native copper
mines of Michigan were first opened,
they were shut off from the east by
ice, from steam communication, for
almost half the year
Fuel Plentiful.
LAS to fuel, Ignite is plentiful with
in the Arctic circle, and our explorers
brough large samples from large bed
of it which crops out on the shores
of the Great Bear lake. If copper
ores therefore exist in large quantities
and are of a profitable grade the UNI
favorable conditions are not sufficient
ly prohibitive to prevent their being
exploited, And the race has happily
not yet become so effeminate that men
cannot be found willing to exchange
the Injuries of civilization for the
novelties and adventures of work in
the wilderness, when the nducement
is added of winning from nature the
treasures she has hidden away in suci
inhospitable regions"

NEW HIGHWAY SIGNS.
Precautions Taken BY O.-W. r. g. N,
Company to Prevent Accidents.

The O.W. r. & N. company pro-
poses to install Immediately at i'm
portant highway grade crossings on
its line in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, cautionary highway signs.
These signs will be erected at dis
lance of 300 feet from the track on
each side of all crossings.
After several months of study and
experiment. the words Railroad eros
sing-danger" were adopted. This
notice displayed in bold black letters
should prove a most effective warning
tc approaching vehicles both day or
night
Statistics show there were Loss men,
women and children killed in train
automobile accidents in the u. S. dur
ing the calendar year of 1916 This
needless sacrifice of precious human
lives is most deplorable. Automobile
manufacturers estimate that one mil
ion new cars will be sold during the
current year. therefore it is not UNI
reasonable to assume an increase in
such fatalities may be expected unless
all powers and influences combine to
heck this evil.
The railroad company is anxious to
'fford its support and cooperation to
he movement for greater safety and
it will feel amply repaid for time and
money expended in erecting these
signs if they will be instrumental in
preventing an accident.

who knew nothing about engines and
had never had hold of a lever. were
taken to the proper officials by the
superintendent of the mine and got
licenses without an examination, all
that was required of them being to
dig up" tive-dollar bill.
Advantage of Universal Code of
Signals.
There is one thing that will help the
engineer and also the miner. namely,
a universal code of signals, so that
when he learns it on one Job he will
not have to learn new code on the
next one. This could be assisted
greatly if the mining men of the coun-
try and the mining journals would
take 1t up. Nearly all the states have
different codes and some have none
each camp having a different system
The following are a few sugges-
tons for the new engineer provided
he is not already too wise to take
them on: Keep a cool head; always
use judgment ana play safe; do not
move the cage too soon after receiv-
ing the signal; look over your engine
the first thing you do when you go
on shift and be sure that all nuts are
tight and the brake is in good con-
d;tion; remember that you know moth
ing about what is going on down the
shaft, so do as the bell tells you, and
then If a mistake is made it is the
other fellows fault.
Although it may be hard on the en-
gineer, it is noticeable that companies
that have the mo admittance" sign
over the door and enforce it have
fewer accidents than those that allow
visitors in the engine room.

The pea season opened this morn

Between rs and 100 persons are

Local Canning Factory
Now In Full Operation

ing about five weeks to get all the
seed in.
Indications this year point to nor
NAL crop of peas, although the season
is about week later than usual, and
the canning of peas will continue un-
til about the first of August, includ-
ing both the early and late variety.
There are several different things
that might occur, any one of which
might reduce the quantity of the crop,
among them the grub worm, which is
now troubling some, severe hail
storm or rain sufficient to flood a
planted area, the pea blight and the
pea louise. The Canadian thistle has
given great deal of bother in some
! localities, but the Baraboo plant has
never been troubled in this manner.
AS many as $4,000 cases of peas, or
100000 cans, may be the output for
the season.
The canning of corn will start about
the first of September, and the prob
able crop for this season is more or
less problematica1 at this time, al
though Mr.. Herfort, who looked over
some of the planted fields since the
warm weather came on, states that
they look promising. With good
yield, over million cans of corn will
also be put up this season at the
Herfort plant.
