The Occur d'Alene Hardware *
Foundry company this week establish
ed new record in the manufacture of
mining machinery. 1t is of course
nothing new for this company to turn
out crusher rolls for the mills OF the
district, and in fact most everything
in the way of machinery for mine and
mill; but a set of rolls delivered this
week were larger than any heretofore
turned out These rolls were for the
Tamarack K Custer Consolidated Min
ing company and were delivered at the
mill last Tuesday morning. The job in
Guided not only the rolls proper but
the massive frame upon which they
rest and everything in connection with
them except the shells or outer wear
ing surface. which are made of man
genese steel and are shipped from the
east The rolls are ii inches wide by
80 inches in diameter. The machine
is what is known as the Allis type and
its weight complete is 10000 pounds.
Turning out these rolls conveys a dis
dinct idea of the complete foundry and
pany. Situated in the center of a great
mining district, the Occur d'Alene
Hardware & Foundry company is end
bled to keep in close touch with the
mining operations and thus carry out |
practical ideas in the manufacture Of |
mining machinery. thus meeting spe-
cific requirements of operators more |
effectively than distant mach;nery |
concerns.
Improved Side Dump Car.
This company has recently devised
side dumping ore car which fills long |
felt want. Its capacity is 40 cubic feet |
Cars of this large capacity and type |
have been Objectionable on account of |
the difficulty in dumping, generally re-
Quiring the service of two men, while |
ore cars of the same capacity of the |
center dump type are often not adapt |
able to the requirements. In order to
overcome the dumping difficulty. the |
Occur d'Alene Hardware & Foundry |
had added a device by which |
one man can empty this large side |
dumping car with ease and without |
danger of sending it over the dump |
A long lever stands upright about mid
way of the car and a little above it's |
heigth. This is attached to mechan-
ism on the trucks which, by pulling |
down the lever elevates the side of |
the car and opens the door on the |
dumping side. The side can be ele-
waited to whatever degree necessary TO
release all the muck or ore, and push
ing back restores the car to its posi-
ton and locks the side door. The de-
vice is simplicity itself and the heav-
lest loaded car can be dumped by one
man without great effort.
HOSTS and Pumps.
The Occur d'Alene Hardware &
Foundry company is now engaged in
the construction of an electric hoist
for the Bunker Hill & Sullivan COM
pany which will probably be ready for
in June. This will be the
argest hoist ever constructed by the
company. The company manufactures
md carries in stock electric hoists of
he same general type of So rs and
100 horsepower
Another product of the company ]
which has proved its efficiency and is
having a wide sale is the Wallace sand {
pump. Five of these were shipped to ]
Salt Lake City the first of the week,
md similar orders from other parts of {
he west are frequent. Hosts, ore {
,ars sand pumps and other mining s
and equipment manufac- t
ured by the company are in use in {
practically every mining state and
Alaska.
