In the attic Of the house. H0rner who

Boys Are Active After First
Night in Camp

MANY SAD SIGHTS WIEN
SOLDIERS March away
did you see The boys go away?"

did you see the boys go away?"
This is the question that was heard
everywhere last night and today. The
departure of the soldiers-to-be was
the chief topic of discussion last
night, everywhere people had con-
gregated, whether In twos or threes
or in larger companies. The same
question was heard asked a hundred
times.
The going Of the. .city's young men
10 be converted into soldiers OF the
National Army made an impression
upon those other residents who re-
main behind which will not soon be
forgotten. II seemed to be the opin-
ion that Il was beyond doubt the
most impressive and saddest anair
Wilmington has witnessed during the
present generation and certainly
nothing that has occurred since Civil
War days could equal the solemnity
Of the occasion.
There was a gloom over the city last
night whic hwill hardly be removed
FOR many days TO come. 1t seemed 10
permeate the air and 10 be depressing
everyone. Needless TO say thcreA were
many homes in which sadness reigned'
but the manner IN which mothers es-
pecially. bore their burdens OF sorrow
were more than inspiring and bore trib-
ute TO the spirit Of these American
mothers who have made such sacri-
fee for their country as to give uI
their sons to fight for the nation
There were many sights witnessed
along the streets and at the railroad
station yesterday when the soldiers
went away. At Tenth and Market
streets. one woman was waiting fol
the parade 10 pass because her sor
was among the drafted men and sh'
wanted 10 see Mm. Finally the boy ap
peared with his division. The motne
looked. raised her hand to say fareWei
and then toppled over In a faint.
At Seventh and Market streets on'
woman who did not have any rela
tives In line was applauding the mel
lustily as they marched along. Sn'
turned TO find at her side a motherl
looking woman who was weeping ult

Concentrating Plant

From here the loaded cars are hauled bv a
75-ton oil burning steam locomotive to the con-
centrating plant, situated about one and one
fourth miles to the east of the main shaft, the
track having slight down grade. Arriving
at the mill the orc is dumped into a series Of
bins that have capacity of over $4,000 tons
The mill consists of eighteen sections each
having daily capacity of 633 tons and at each
section the ore is fed to two Mercy ball mills,
along with water and certain amount of oil
for admixture with pulp before entering the
flotation cells, of which there are two differ
ent types in the sections now operating Some
of them are equipped with the Callow flotation

the occasional attentionthat any continuously
running machine requires. Ii is we'll supplied
with safety devices that cause the power to be
shut off from the motors and the brakes that
are applied automatically, should anything
mtoward occur. The engine itself was built
by the Nordburg Manufacturing company of
Milwaukee and has four drums The brakes
and clutches are operated by air under either
hand or electrical control The diameter Of
the hosting cable used is 81 inches. Each
pair Of drums is driven by means of direct
current from motor generator fly-wheel set
driven by reclamation service power.

Ore Hoist Operations

Ore hosting is performed in 1212-ton ca
pacity skips Of which there are four, two in
each shaft The ore is drawn from the $3.50
foot level pockets, hosting being done from
this level only. The ore goes automatically
into suspended gauge hopper which by its
weight shuts off the feeder when it has 1211 70
ton load The descending skip dumps the
gauge hopper, which automatically starts to
refill itself as soon as it has discharged its
load to the waiting skip. By means of the
mechanism one skip attendant is enabled to
oversee the loading of four skips without I'M
due eXertion. However, the hosting engine
is the apparatus that provides the casual OBJ
server with the most food for thought, Of all
the machines found in the shafts The feature
of the hoist is that it operates without the ser
vices of an engineer because it is controlled by
an electrical device, designed by the General
Electric company. To start the hoist operat-
ing, the power-house attendant simply throws
on switch, after which the machine gets only

Coarse Crushing Plant

The coarse crushing plant, which is located
just below the skip bins is equipped with four
Allis-Chalmers No. s clushers, and eight 49,
inch Symons disc crushers, which combination
can easily take care of feed amounting to
$1,000 tons day This plant has enough re-
serve capacity so that if one quarter of the
plant should be down for repairs the remain
ing thrcc-Quartcrs could take care Of the daily
output.
Between the two sets Of crllshefs there are
four conveyor belts which are equipped with
Ding's magnetic hand pullcvs These mag
nets sort out any fragments of IRON such as
nuts, bolts. hammers and the like that usually
find their way into the ore stream and which
cause lots Of trouble when fed to certain types
Of crushing machinery Also, before ore
passes into the crushing machinery it passes
under the eyes of four watchful attendants
whose business it is to remove any blocks or
chips Of wood that may have got mixed with
the ore. The trouble with this material is that
when it is fed into the concentration it crowds
up screens and launders, causing much trou-
bic than is required to remove it when the
ore IS at the head of the coarse crushing plant.
From this machinery the ore is discharged,
having been crushed to d size that will pass
through a III inch ring, and by means of a
series Of rubber belt conveyors it is delivered
10 travelling distributors when discharge it
into storage bin located in Webster gulch
This has storage capacity Of $4,000 tons.
This bin is equipped with two rows of bottom
discharge gates and under each gate there is
accommodation for II to Cotton capacity,
standard gauge ore cars These cars can all
be loaded at one spotting. The gates are so
manipulated that a single man can load four
teen ears in twenty minutes.
