Work at Ceotenial Mint- From Uold Hill News: The work of installing tbe electric shovel at ths Oentenial mine on Kane's oreek is progressing rapidly under tbe supervision of J. W. Housb, nnd within three waske tbs ponderous machine will be moving d'rt at tbs iate of 18o yards an boar. Around tbs mine oerpentsrs, eleotrio isns and laborers ara all busily en gaged in tnolr different rooatlwa, working as rapidly as possible In order to bare tbe maoblus at work at tbs earliest possible date. The shovel le being installed under tbe. aupeivlsiou of C. B. Webber of tbe Vulcan Iron Works, of Toledo, Ohio where It was made, It la knbwn aa the Little Ulant Special, ana Is the first eleUtic maohiuu turned out by these people. Tbe machine Is equip ped with three separate motors, all of 13j-borue power each, and weighs 32 tons. Tbe power-room of the shovel ie eqalppod with eutomatta relays Ibjt aie uesd lx."on'Jol tbe mammoth w Jt d.!. in tl'l, Siy ralays ate ea made' nat it tbv ai- cbine atrikee an object that it. can. not move, the current of eleotriaity ia automatically thrown from the motors into the relays, wblob Drevent tbem from being bnrned out. Tbe machine ia then released abd tbs oorrent again turna itself into tbs motors. Tbe transformer house is equipped witb all modern circuit breakers and lightning arreste.a. Here tne current ie reduced from 23,ooo volts to a voltage of loo. The gold washer ie ptopelled by a 2o-borse motor, and two motors on the water and gravel pumps make a combined strength of 10d horsepower. The washer, which la an entirely separate maoblne from tbe shovel, is compos ed of a big revolving oyllnder and Iron rilBes, lined with 0000a matting. Tbe washer bas a combined length of 2o feet, lbs waVer for tbe machine will be aupplied from three reser voire, two of wblob are now complet ed and have a oapttoity o 1000,000 gallons aod the third one will bave a capacity of 5oo,ooo gallons.

Ae the ground is mined tbe largor bouldere are replaced on tbe eartb, tbon tbe smaller nnea are placed upon the big ones, and luet tbe dirt la again plaovd on too of the rocks, with all stumps and other docrls removed, meklng it better for agricultural purposes than over. Tbo value or this niacnine to Uold Hill and Southern Oregon oan baldly be appreciated until it has been seen and until it has proven tbat it will suonessfully work tnese plaoer grounds. If It is suoMssful, and there can b no doubt of It, a cheep manner will be found of work ing these grounds, sod after the gold baa been removed It can be ated for agricultural purposes, Instead of be ing entirely useless ae It le wben worked by a dredger or otbsr ma oblnsry.
