An electric railway had been originally projected, pro-jected, said Mr. Newhouse, but In the discussion It developed that the advantages ad-vantages were overwhelmingly in favor of tho locomotive and the decision in its favor was reached accordingly. The route between the mill and the rccelvi; pr bins at tho mlno will span a distance of two nillco with a 5 per cent grade, but this will be easily mastered with the Shea machine for mountain climbing. The cost of this equipment, which will afford transportation for those employed, em-ployed, underground an well as tho wealth dug from it, will not. according to the estimates, exceed. $10,000, the saving sav-ing by tho method reimbursing tho company com-pany in short time.
