ADVERTISING RATES. Made known on application, Entered at the Postoffice at Nevada City ae econd-class matter, A Success In Nevada County as Far as ~ Tried, In this county electric power is transmitted. to the South Yuba river to Grass Valley—a distance of some eight miles—without any considerable loss. Upon this subject Prof. George Forbes says in :the .Engineering Magazine: There has been an absurd hesitation to undertake the transmission of power to great distances. If engineers who have had experience in the transmission of power and in the conversion of alternating into continuous currents would lock into this question, they would be convinced that where water power is available it is generally economical to transmit electrical power hundreds of miles for working railways. As an example, it can be proved that if the railway. companies of Scotland were tocombine to work their trunk lines by means of electric locomotives, the electric current being developed by the water power which~ exists in that country, then the whole of that service might be carried on without the use of steam locomotives. E Another lesson to be drawn from a careful consideration of the subject is. that the waste of coal on steam locomotives is not by any means compensated by the extra cost and loss of _power in electrical. transmission. Estimates have been.prepared= which show that’ not only is the cost of copper prohib“ited, but that efficiency of the electric . " system renders the consumption of coal with stationary engines about as great as with locomotives. This is. certainly not the case. The cost of electric transmission, when properly effected, is not comparable with: what_ it is as calculated on the lines adopted in the past; and, on the other.hand, the efficiency of dynamos and motors has not been sufficiently considered in street railway practice in, the United States. ca A BIG. MINING PUMP. It Throws Nevada County’s Big Water Raisers Into the Shade. . If the details and figures given by a of the'Calumet and Hecla mine, it is, without doubt, the greatest mechanism of the kind in the world, its capacity of water delivery being some 2,500,000 gallons every hour in the twenty-four, most. The apparatus is.a triple expansion’ PUMping engine with a capacfifty feet in Bight, and requiring 1500 horse power . ‘9? its operation; and it has proved by’ aetual tests that its nominal perfor: nee can be easily maintained for an ,udefinite time without injury or strain, 20d that, pushed to the full extent, the ump could handle approximately 85,000,000 gallons in twenty-four consecutive hours. The purpose of this pump is to furnish water for the great stamp mills of the Calumet and Hecla Company, which have twenty-five steam pumps in (o0ntinuous operation, daily pulverizing 5000 tons of conglomerate rock into sand so fine that it can be carried away by a stream of swiftly running water. The, pump is located near the lake shore and below the mills so as to force a steady stream of water to the upper portions of the mill, where ingreat slime tables and jigs. Here it is that the specific gravity of the particles of copper contained in the rock separate the valuable mineral from a mass of worthless sand, the size and force oi the streams of waiter being so nicely regulated as to wash away the sand and yet carry with it the minimum of copTONIGHT'S BANQUET.
