greater than kerosene, consequently
developing mere horsepower per gal
Ion. If such a knock does take place
when travelling under a normal load
the combustion space between piston

The tractor engine differs from the
automobile engine only in that it is
of heavier construction, longer stroke
and of slower speed which is kept
constant by a governor. And because
of these differences tractor engines
offer other distinct problems in oper-
alton aside from general ills to which
the automobile engine is heir. These
ordinary troubles can be cured by
anyone with a working knowledge of
gas engines.
Many tractors are designed to run
on kerosene as well as gasoline.
Kerosene volatilizes much slower
than gasoline, hence heat is the only
thing that renders kerosene volatile
enough for use, and V e then the en-
me parts must move slower than
when using gasoline to gain the full
benefit from its use.
If you find that your kerosene is
co~ndensing and impairing the work
Of your tractor engine more than
should be expected, look at once to
heating devices attached to the ear,
buretor and manifold. One way to
test this is gauge and pulling power
Of the engine. If the fuel adjust
ment is shut down as fast as prac-
cable to give a good mixture and there
is still a decided lack of power the
chances are that the kerosene gas
is chilling below the safety point.
Another way is to watch the exhaust.
Il the %carburetOr is adjusted properly
and there is black smoke issuing from
the exhaust pipe, condensation is
taking place, and the kerosene is not
properly utilized.
Kerosene knocking" is an ailment
which many operators OF kerosene
tractors have to overcome. It ISM
one-half so bad as it sounds. Such g
knock may occur because of accumu.
lated carbon in the cylinders, but
there is yet another reason. A kero.
sene knock may occur because of the
differences Ct combustion character
istics between kerosene and gasoline

health OF the underground worker.
The metal mine ventilation engl-
eer must also keep down the heat.
But the ventilation engineer Of the
Anaconda company can proudly point
to the fact, so well are air currents and
temperatures controlled, that icicles
are frozen on the drift timbers in
places as far down as the 1,700-fOOt
level and at a distance OF 1000 feet
from the Shaft.
Constant vigilance and an intimate
knowledge of air currents and air &C
ton are required TO insure pure air
and proper temperatures for the Butte
miner. Where the temperature can
not always he lowered, agitation Of
the air is resOPted to because it has
been found that a higher temperature
ia moving air is more endurable than
q lower temperature in still air.
There is an instrument known as
the Wahlen gauge, for measuring air
pressure.
There is a little device not unlike a
watchman's clock which Is used to
measure the speed of the air, an an.
emOmeter it is called. There is a sling

it into drifts and slopes. Scattered
throughout the mines are large can

some 200 blowers into dead ends. The
life Of this canvas ventilating tubing
is about six months, which means that
the company has to install about 20

versing the fans, the shaft can be con-
verified into an uptake instead Of a

of a possible shaft fire can be driven
out of the mine instead of being driven
downward.
A surprising thing about air is the
large increase Of power required to
increase the air volume. TO double
the quantity Of air forced down the
shaft means increasing the power
eight times, But the air flow has
been ~marvelOusly increased by q
method of concrete slab installation

Getting Rid Of the Dust
Equally adequate and thorough Is
The Anaconda company's provision for
eliminating dust caused by drilling
shOveling and tramming hard rock.
Practically all Of the cOmpany's 1000
drills, of which 1000 are "stopers," are
equipped with hollow drill shanks.
Through these flows a constant stream

ply on the surface, so that at every

was devised and the air volume was in
creased 100 per cent or doubled.
An interesting incidental In the
control of air movement is the use Of
some hundreds Of doors and air
stOppings, especially constructed and
operated for this purpose.
Taking Out the Water
SO much for the air problems Of
the Butte mines. Control Of the water
flow also called for a high degree Of
technical skill. Every large mine Of
the Anaconda company Is connected on
the 2,SOO-fOot level. There are also
other connections, particularly on the
2,4OO and the 1000, but the $500 is the
general connecting level. AS a result
the waters Of the main group Of mines
are handled from just two pumping
stations, n at the High Ore and
n at the Leonard. The Leonard
handles 1900 gallons a minute. The
High Ore handles 1900 a minute,
Either station could handle a larger

In the Front Rank

BY GEORGE S. RICE, Chief Mining Engineer, United States Bureau
of Mines, in Bulletin No. 24, Department Of the interior, 1923.
"The mines in the Butte district, with their hot rock, numerous
veins, deep workings and intense and concentrated activities, present
to their operators many intricate problems requiring the utmost en-
cheering skill. Although the difficulties encountered are great, the
mining companies have grapped with them and are making wonderful
progress in ventilation betterments.
"The dust situation has been largely eliminated by the adoption Of
wet drills for practically all drilling by the introduction Of water lines
for sprinking TO practically all working faces In many mines and by
increasing the flow Of air to working places to remove dust az it s
formed. Butte mining companies are in the front rank Of those metal
mining companies Of the United States that are trying to reduce the
dust hazard. They believe that In case their ore bodies reach to a
depth Of 5000 feet or over they will be able to obtain for such deep
workings an atmosphere which will allow Of safe, comfortable and
efficient work"

PROTECTING ALASKA SALMON

A determined movement to protect Alaska salmon and perpetuate the in- dustry in the far north is now taking form. Territorial Delegate Suther- land is in favor of closing all salmon fishing for three years. This plan ap- peals to United States Fish Commis- sioner OMalley as somewhat drastic, and he is of the opinion that by cur tailing operations, the industry can be restored to a permanent basis. MT. O'Malleys plan is to eliminate con- siderable number of traps by requir- ing greater distance between those that will be permitted to operate.
 This is wise plan for the conser- vation of Alaska's greatest resource and if MT. O'Malley's recommends tions are carried out, they will obvi' ate for hatchery purposes. Whenever nature has been particularly gener ous in her bounties, disregard fol the interests of posterity has always resulted in prodigal waste of our re sources. This waste in the Columbia river salmon fisheries was stopped be fore it was too late, by the enactment of restrictive legislation and by arti ficial propagation. Alaska will do vel

PROSPERITY IN 1925.

As the years hears its close, bus mess men of Seward are beginning to take stock of the prosperity during 1925, with very satisfying results.
 While there have been local de- pressions of greater or less extent in vacious sections, as a whole the business, as we'll as the general con- dition surrounding Seward have shown a marked upward trend.
 So far as may be forseen, the pres. ent prosperity promises to continue indefinitely, unless human folly inter poses. The Government has definite ly and completely overcome the post war depression and appears to be or Ia sounder economic basis than ever before. This in spite of the heavy tax burden and perpetual legislation tinkering.

CHRISTMAS IN SEWARD

While song and story persist in giv- ing Yuletide a country setting, it can not be denied that the Holiday Sea- son holds attractiveness in the heart of every town and city. A few writ CTS and word painters have forsaken the rural settings at times and have drawn for us picture of Christmas in the towns of Alaska. As Scrooge wdnded his solitary way from his counting house to his lodgings on Christmas Eve, Dickens described for us the surroundings, and it was a city description he gave us-the city of London. No London surroundings here in Seward, and yet the Season s spirit is beautifully expressed
 The world changes, and the great centers of population, while clinging to the customs of the past, must nec- essarily change somewhat their modes of observance. And yet of all times of the year, Christmas Day retains more of the signs of Olden Days, even in modern Seward than any other feast day on the calendar.
 After all, the observance of day which particularly appeals to our bet ter nature, or should, for it is day dedicated to Peace and Good Will, y consisting not in outward show, but in our thoughts. If we have the Christmas spirit, the day is Christmas, no matter where the rising sun finds us on the twenty-fifth day of Decem Der. And because this is so-there
