GermdnyS Commerce After
the War.

and the men Of commerce and
industry JON la protest against
the KalSer's scheme for organ
lzlhg Germany's commercial and
Industrial esOurces on a military
basis, with a general staff, with
the disappearance of individual
activities, and markets laid out
as provinces TO lie conquered.
"A Berlin Conference OF Ger
man Utilities. called by the War
Industry Board, resolved unan-
lmOusly that imports should be
limited only as far as lack of
tonnage and the state of ex-
change rendered absolutely nee
essary; that the imoortatiOn of
raw materials should be left as
before co the customary chan
nels of trade; tn t ships and ex-
change be placed at the disposal
of importers of other ware; that
restrictions imposed upon home
commerce and industry during
the waT be removed, and that
none b. Imposed upon those
seeking 20 obtain foreign mar
kets.
A second resolution rejected
the idea or establishing cOmpui
sorry syndlcates and State mo
nOpoles in important branches
OF business, a measure the gov
eminent Is considering as one of
the post bellum sources of rev.
enue. The resolution declares
that such interference with the
sound development of business
life wonld result only in killing
the goose that laid the golden
egg.
This is the policy of democrat
cy in commerce and in industry
which is in direct conflict with
the views expressed by a recent
Socialist conference At that
conference Heinrich CunOw pre-
sented report, in which he de-
manded that the parchase. i'm
portatiOn and distribution of for
eign raw materials, fOodstuffs,
fodder and manufactured arti-
cles after the war be placed in
the hands of organizations un-
der State control, and that at
tention be directed to increasing
export trade in order to improve
German values.
The introduction of State mo-
nOpolies in coal and iron mining,
in the production of raw iron
and steel and in the n.unitiDn in
dustry and other important in
dustrial branches was advocated
also at the Socialist conference
as were ship subsidies 20 assist
in the re- establishment of the
German merchant marine.
This form of Socialism has long
been the embodied policy of the
Kaiser and his military advisers
1t is based on false conception
of the origin and the functions
of the State. 1t is militarism in
civil life, ana begins by eradi-
eating the last vestige of free
dom. In application it has CIV
en- US the German Empire of to-
day.. and it is the faith that has
produced anarchy in Russia.
In peace, as in war. Socialism

Ore Occurrence.
The ore occurs in large fault fis-
sures having general northwest
southeast course, many of them being
tiaceable for long distances. The
widths of these veins vary from three
to about thirty feet, a peculiar thing
being that the wider the vein the
higher the values. The veins are oxi-
died to great depths, the gold occur
ring free. in very fine condition, &C
companied by very little silver as
argentite. AS rule, the veins do not
outcrop and were discovered by~aOat,
but, in few places. the veins form
bold lodges easily traceable.
The gangue is quartz and adularia
The veins usually have also band
of Very soft clay or gouge sometimes
several feet In width. In many places,
the veins also contain rhyolite either
in crushed condition or in boulder
form. The gold Is very spotted, max
ing careful sampling and large sam
pies necessary. The better veins oil

good engineering practice. obvious
lly under such conditions a wire rope
could not possibly give the same SER
vice as when operated over the stan
dard or larger sized sheaves or drums.
On the other hand, If we should en-
ploy sheaves of twice the diameter
of those recommended by the manu-
facturers, or SO inch. the bending
stress would be only IA tons approx
imately) or about Az per cent of the
ultimate strength of the rope. 1t Is
evident that by reducing the bending
stress to a minimum more economical
service could be obtained; and in
many cases a smaller diameter of
rope could be applied to do the re-
quired work, thereby increasing the
efficiency Of the rope and making
considerable saving in first cost.
Reverse Bends Reduce Strength and
Life Of Rope.
Regarding bending stresses it might
be we'll to describe briefly the effect
of these stresses on the initial struc-
ture of the metal in the wire rope.
It has been shown repeatedly that re-
verse bends play an important part
in the early deterioration of wire
rope. The under wind rope in which
there are reverse bends will invariably
give a shorter service than the over
wind rope The difference in service
of the two ropes on hoist varies
reat cal, but from experience it has
been observed that the over wind rope
will give 10 per cent to rs per cent
more service The reason for this is
quite obvious, but l shall endeavor to
explain as clearly as possible the
causes leading to the shorter service
of the under wind rope
The under wind rope as it comes
off the head sheaves has taken some
what of a set, the permanence of
which depends altogether on the re-
lation of rope diameter to sheave
diameter. The smaller the sheave,
the greater the set The rope now
travels to the take up drum which is
set some distance away and will
wind on the drum in the opposite
direction to the way it came off the
head sheave. A reverse bend is thus
thrown into the rope and consequently
into the wires themselves. The rope
cannot recover itself in most cases,
for the set received at the head sheave
is not entirely overcome before it

In calculating the proper size of rope
for a certain load with required fac
tor of safety, that this proper working
load should not be confused with the
actual factor of safety. While the

tion a rope, selected on account of its

list corresponding to the load which
tor of safety of FIVE This is due to
the fact that in addition to the work
ing load there are other stresses to
which ample consideration must be
given; the most important of these
is the stress due to bending over the
sheaves and drums. If the rope to
be used is operated over standard
sized sheaves and drums, as recon-
mended by the rope manufacturers,
the general average of this bending
stress equals about 10 per cent of the
approximate breaking strength of the
rope. For instance. in a cast steel
wire rope, of 1-inch diameter and
composed of six strands having 10
wires to the strand, the approximate
breaking strength is 80 tons and
shows a proper working load of one
fifth, or six TONS This, however, Is
only to be used on a minimum size
sheave or drum of feet, as recon-
mended by the manufacturer. The
bending stress would be 2.7 tons, or
1-3 per cent of the approximate
breaking strength of the rope. 1t is
thus evident that by adding 8 1-3 per
cent to the 20 per cent load stress we
have utilized 20 1-3 per cent of the
ultimate; and, instead of an apparent
factor of safety Of fve we actually
have only 341. This factor is still
further reduced by the stress due to
starting the load, and also, in some
cases by the stress due to the weight
of the rope and it's inertia. The latter,
of course, varies with the size and
length of the rope. and in calculating
the proper sizes of rope required for
hosting operations, where ropes are
often long and heavy, their weight
must be considered and added to the
ore load, weight of cage and cars, or
skip, as the case may be- in order to
arrive at any true factor of safety.
For short lengths Of rope of small
diameter, such as used on derricks,
etc, this latter calculation is not nee
essary.

Effect of Scheave and Drum
Diameters.

1t is often impracticable t., utilize
the sizes of sheave and drum recon-
mended by the manufacturer. When
different diameters must be used the
bending stresses will vary inversely
as the diameters. For instance, as
sumo in the example given that q
foot diameter sheave is to be used.
The bending stress produced would
be 5.5S tons. or about IS 2-3 per cent
of the breaking strain of the rope.
This, in addition to the working load,
would be 3S 2-S per cent of the ulti-
mate strength of the rope, thus re-
ducing the factor of safety to &c.
Under these conditions the total
working stress would be greater than
one-third of the ultimate breaking
strength of the rope when new and
this factor of safety is not considered
