LARGEST Drill
Continued from Page One)

stone wall rock about 1900 feet south
of the Zenith mine. The shot drill hole
is a cylindrical opening and with its
smooth walls it has the distinct advan-
tages of being fireproof, of offering
minimum resistance to the flow of air,
and of being comparatively free from
maintenance charges.
Surface equipment includes a hoist
house and another building over the
hole which houses the boring equip
ment. The hoist house equipment in
cludes two units-one hoist to raise men
to the surface and another hoist to
raise heavier loads such as the steel
enclosed drill cabin in which is carried
the nerve-center of the whole project
This is composed of 100 h. p. motor
reduction gears, shot feed supply and
controls The core barrel, attached i'm
mediately below the cabin rotates
counter-clockwise, grinding away on
round chilled iron shot, 5-32" in diam
eter, on the steel cutting shoe. This
equipment is 40 feet in length and is
held in suspension in the shaft by a
cable operated by the hoist on surface
One man is in the shaft during the
cutting, operating the controls safely
within the cylindrical steel drill cabin
A box in the cabin holds 400 pounds of
chilled shot which is admitted as needed
to the cutting edge or shoe at the very
bottom of the hole. The motor turns
the core barrel about 50 revolutions per
minute. A supply of air is forced to
the bottom of the hole through a hose.
The purity of the air is checked con-
tinuouSly.
When the shot drilling equipment is
raised to surface and away from the
operaotion the last drilled section,
cylinder of rock, is still attached to its
bond. A two-ft. long steel wedge is in
serted and, with a reasonable amount
of pounding with sledge hammer, the
core of stub will break along a weak
plane in the rock. The core puller, a
cylinder eight feet long, is lowered into
the hole by swing boom derrick. BY
careful calculation by the operator in
attendance this cylinder slips over the
core in sleeve fashion and is lowered as
far as possible. The hoist man is given
few signals to test the hold by slight
tension on the hosting rope, and by
experience he can get the feel if the
dogs on the inside of the steel cylinder
have sufficiently contracted to grip the
core. The core is then hoisted to sur
face, and to remove it from the build
ing the hoistman swings the derrick
boom to the right and the core is set
on the ground. The cylinder is freed
from the tenacious grip on the core by
releasing the tension on the rope as the
core rests on the ground. The strong
mechanical. devices respond and the
dogs give up their hold. All hosting
movements are protected against over
wind or underwind of the cable, as one
of the many safety precautions taken on
the work. The hole is 5 ft. 6 inches in
diameter and the diameter of the core
is it. 2 inches, with four inches ground
away in the process of shot drilling. An
elght-ft. core from the Zenith ventila-
ton shaft weighs about II TONS

Use of Term Jingoism

The term jingoism, denoting ag-
gressive military policy, was orig
inally applied to a group of British
politicians who in 1877-78 wanted the
government to take sides in the

a popular song of that time in
cluded the words, eve don't want
to fight, but, by jingo, if we do

Economy Buys A
New Streamline
Soda Fountain

The Economy drug store is con-
tinuing a undermining program,
including the installation at an
early date of new "streamline"
soda fountain, that is expected to
make the store one of the most
attractive of its kind in this re-
gion, Jesse Whitley, proprietor,
said today.
The new fountain was manu-
featured by the Liquid Carbonic
Corp, builders of soda fountains
for more than 40 years, and is one
of the latest models, Mr.. Whitley
said, adding that the fountain is
built of new material called Ply
metl which is lighter and stronger
than steel. All exterior surfaces
are of highly polished stainless
steel, which is impervious to stains
from fruit acids or syrups. The
fountain is narrower than any
other soda fountain yet produced.
1t is only 80 1-2 inches wide which
makes it easier for the dispenser
to serve customers, Mr.. Whitley
said.

La FOLLETTE'S
PARTY PLANS
OUTLINED
Says Nation Not at Cross
roads But New Trail
Must Be Blazed
HE FLATLY OPPOSES
CODDLING OF PUBLIC

MADISON, Wis, Apr. 90. (UP)
Gov. Philip F. LaFollette last night
announced birth of a new political
party - a party which he said
avoided old fashioned capitalism,
socialism, fascism and communism.
The party, to be known as the
National Progressives of America,
has as its insignia a cross within a
circle, sign of the individual citi-
zen at the ballot box. The circle
signifies party unity, LaRollette
said, and the cross its economic
program - multiplication and in
crease of the total production of
real wealth.
"The National Progressives of
America is under way" he told
cheering liberals who came from
all parts of the middlewest and
farther to jam the stock pavilion
on the University of Wisconsin
campus.
He made no mention of a pos
sible fourth term for himself as
Wisconsin governor.
make no mistake" he said,
this is not a third party. AS
certain as the sun rises, we are
launching THE PARTY OF OUR
TIME"
LaFollette explained his party
as a party of new capital and new
capitalism. To his previously pro-
posed modernization of railroads,
which he suggested as opening a
new frontier of productive enter
prise with jobs for all. he added
only housing last night as a sec
ond example of the many posi-
bilities he said exist in this field.
The grey-haired governor, as
dramatic as his famous father on
the platform, said the nation is
not at a cross road-but at the
end of a road where a new trail
must be blazed.

SENATOR MINTON OFFERS BILL
MAKING IT FELONY FOR U. S.
PRESS TO PRINT FALSE NEWS
Follows Complaints Roose-
welt Policies of Reform
Persistently Opposed

WASHINGTON, April 20. (UP)
Senator Sherman Minton 3D.,
Ind, an ardent New Dealer, yes
terday climaxed a blistering at
tack on newspaper publishers with
introduction of a bill which would
make it a felony to circulate false
news in the capital and in inter-
state commerce.
The restriction would apply to
"any person, firm, corporation or
association" which publishes and
transports through the mails ANY
newspaper, magazine or periodi-
CAL" Violators would be subject
to fine Of $1,000 to $4,000 and
two years Imprisonment. The
postmaster general would be en-
powered to suspend violators from
the use of the mails for six
months.
Minton said sarcastically that
he supposed the American News
paper Publishers association, now
in annual convention in New
York, will support the legislation.
He offered it a week after
President Roosevelt bluntly in
formed a gathering of newspaper
editors at an off-the-record White
House conference that they no
longer accurately portrayed pub
lie sentiment and criticized their
persistent opposition to his re-
form policies.
j. In jefferson day banquet
speech last winter the president
likewise emphasized that despite
the opposition of a large section
of the press and rank and file of
the American people approved his
policies as shown by his re-elec-
ton.
There was no indication, how
ever, that Minton's measure was
introduced at the request of the
White House or that it would
have administration backing. The
Indiana senator used an ANPA
report criticizing use of the radio
for political purposes as the
springboard for one of the most
vitriolic attacks on the publishing
industry ever heard in the senate.
He charged that the publishers
are using a free press in an at
tempt to curb freedom of speech.
"Of course it is all right to use
newspapers for political purposes,
as we learned in the last cam
paign," he shouted. "But when it
comes to radio-you don't dare
to do it"
