The design of a long bridge spun is
one of the most elaborate mathemat
ical problems that arises in construc
tive work. The stresses produced by
its own weight, by the weight of traf
fic, by locomotive drivers, by the ham
mering of flattened wheels, by the
action of brakes on an express train,
by the high speed of a curved track,
by the wind and by the expansion and
contraction of the steel in summer
and winter, are all accurately calcu
lated. The definition of the loaded
and unloaded bridge is determined,
and complete drawings are made of
every member of it. The bars of steel
are tested in machines which will pull
in two a horsehair or a steel bar
strong enough to lift half a score of
the heaviest locomotives at once, and

MINING AT GREAT DEPTHS.

In no other district In the world
ar active mining operations carried
on at such depth as in the Lake Su
perior copper region, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. The No. 5 shaft of
the Tamarack mine is the deepest
in the world, having attained a verti
cle depth of 4.940 feet, nearly a mile.
Not far behind ir i the Hed Jacket
shaft of the Calumet A Hecla. which
is down 4.B20 feet. Another deep
shaft of the Calumet & Heqla is the
No 4 of the Calumet branch of the
property. This is down 7,800 feet
on an incline of a mile and a half.
In view of the marvelous efficiency
of the modern hoisting engine no
considerations of a mechanical na
ture need limit tht prospective depth
of shafts.
The greatest obstacle to deep min
ing is the proportionate increase in
temperature. In the I-rfike Superior
copper district State Geologist Lake
has ascertained that the temperature
in the mine varies one degree for
evtry 110 feet. The temperature in
the deepest shafts at the Tamarack
and Calumet A Hecla varies between
65 and 90 degrees, and in view of
these conditions it is evident that
considerable depths can yet be at
tained in this section.
