124 The Mining and Scientific Press. An Ingenious Invention. Amony the many useful articles exhibited at the Fair, there are not many that exhibit more practical ingenuity than the model of the double inclined plane, for hoisting rock, dirt, etc., from mines or excavations. The beauty of the thing is its simplicity. The contrivance consists of an ordinary dumping car, such as are in almost universal use in the mines, the hind wheels of which are six inches further apart than the fore ones. The fore pairrun ona tramway eighteen inches lower than that on which the hind ones work. By this simple arrangement the cars always go up or down on a level, thus avoiding the danger of anything falling out of them. When the car reaches the platform, which is set at a slight incline towards the dump, the hind wheels run up an incline as the lower ones run down, till the load upsets itself by gravitation, when the weight of the empty car being on the hind wheels, draws it down the incline to the platform. The inventor, who is a working miner, may have never read a line of Euclid in his life; yet he has applied a purely scientifio principle to a thoroughly practical purpose. This ingenious and practical device was patented through the Mining anp ScrIEntrrio Press Patent Agency, by J. W. Pierce, of Suisun, Solano county.
