Forty Men At Once

The hosting OF men at these shafts is accom-
plished by means of an Otis Elevator company
installation such as is seen i'll any modern Of
flee building. The cage has two decks capable
of carving twenty men to the deck, and is
controlled by an operator travelling with the
cage. This installation is likewise fitted with
numerous safety devices so that passengers are'
afforded every possible protection against ac-
cident.
For instance, it is impossible to start the
cage unless the doors are shut The power
will not stay on unless the operator keeps the
controlling lever pressed down. Should the
rate of travel exceed certain speed a govern
or automatically throws the safety dogs into
the guides. These dogs are not the familiar
type seen on the usual mine cage. But they
are so controlled that by a screw motion they
are caused to grip the two guides in such a
manner that vice grips an object that 1t
holds. This cage is counterbalanced by means
Of weight running on guides In a subdivision
Of the pipe compartment in the opposite shaft.
This counterweight, is so constructed that it
forms q cage Tor anyone WORKING III TIE lll'c
compartment, and is fitted with telephone
so that any person so working is in constant
touch with the operator standing on the deck
of the elevator cage
Pressure air is provided for, machine drill
ing and riveting, and by means OF a 5000
cubic foot capacity Nordburg compressor and
a 1000 cubic foot capacity Ingersoll-Rand
compressor. These machines, like everything
else about the plant, are motor driven and UNI
der present conditions run snugly and are OF
ample capacity to supply the demand for air
Outside the hoist and compressor plant
there is power sub station which is designed
to take power either from the reclamation
bower service at Roosevelt dam, or from the
joint plant Of the international Smelter and
the Inspiration company. The reclamation
power is delivered at pressure Of 40 900 volts,
while the local power comes in $500 volts, the

Permitted to Stand


After the final pouring of the concrete in
each station of the shaft the whole thing
was permitted to stand untouched for thirty
DAYS After that time waste rock was re-
moved prior to stripping the forms and cut
ting out the square sets. Both underground
haulage and hosting practice at this mine
show novel features as far as their application
TO copper mining is concerned Ore haulage
is accomplished with compressed air as the
motive force. The decision to use the air sys-
TEN of haulage was based upon the expert
cnce of other companies which were tramming
large tonnage with electricity as the motive
power. 1t was proved that when carloads.
tralnmen and haulage-drift repailmen have to
work all the time III close proximity to charged
trolley wires there are more Orless accidents.
Therefore the inspiration management con-
Guided its best interests would be served by
the adoption of the air system.
The mine locomotives. were supplied by the
II. X Porter company of Pittsburg They
weigh ten tons each They are two stage and
take air into their receivers at S00-pound
pressure per square inch The receivers are
fitted with discharge valves which admit air
to the high pressure cylinders at $50 pounds
pressure. When the air expands in doing it's
duty in the high pressure cylinder it is cooled
to a low temperature but before entering the
low pressure cylinder it is brought up to at
mospheric temperature by being passed
through tubular container through the tubes
Of which the mine air circulates according to
the speed at which the locomotive is travelling
The, time taken in charging the locomotive
receiver from the high pressure air line which
runs along the side of the haulage drift, and is
provided with charging sections at suitable
intervals, is usually one and three-fourth min
utes per charge. The time thus consumed is
not considered any more than the time lost by
motoman in arranging his trolley. These
locomotives when hitched to a long train of
cars are able to start and get up to speed more
rapidly than the electrical engine.
The cars are five tons capacity, of the box
type without axle springs, and are fitted with
miniature freight car couplers and solid brass
bearings. They are dumped five at a time by
means Of motor driven car tipple which
makes complete revolution every time a
series Of cars are dumped. A 20-car train
be dumped easily in three and one-half min
utes.

Water Pumped from Wells

Water for the operation of all the company's
work, as well as for the International smelter
is obtained from number of wells driven on
the flat about Kiser, about two miles below
the mill. Pumps located at each of the wells
deliver the water at a central pumping sta
ton, which has a total capacity of 1900 gal
Ions minute, and which contains six motor
geared electric Prescott pumps.
While the company obtains great deal Of
power from the reclamation service the
amount obtainable from this source is insult
ficient to meet the total requirements. There
fore apower plant had to be built on the COM
pany's ground. In conjunction with the In
ternational Smelling company a,steam-driven
power plant was erected and placed in opera
ton in the spring Of 1914. Waste heat from
the smelter is used as an auxiliary to steam
making, although this heat is by no means
sufficient for all the needs of the whole plant,
which is also equipped with oil fired boilers.

of Dir. Rudolph Gail, the company's mill SUI

The concentrate from these machines is in
some cases reiterated by flotaton while tail
ing passes to Dorr cassifiers from which the
heaviest product is returned to the ball mills
for further grindings, while the remainder
passes to the Deister classifiers from which
the different products are delivered to the
various groups Of double decked Deister con-
centrating tables. The failing from these ma
chimes goes to thskening tanks where a good
deal Of water in the pulp is reclaimed, while
the thickening failing is transported by launder
to the failing storage pile The combined con-
centrate from the fIotation machines and
tables is likewise delivered to Dor thckeners,
from which the thickened concentrate is de-
ivered to four 12-foot Oliver continuous fill
tiers. These machines by means of porous
medium and vacuum pump, transform the
siudge-like looking concentrate into a com
raratiyely firm dry cake, which is delivered
brOken-up on to an inclined cOWevOr which
cevates it to a small bin supplying the Inter

LIFT YOUR C0RNS

to this Cincinnati authority.

called freezone, applied directly upon:
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-.

This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
