Show v ADDITIONAL MINING. k Vhat the karns tunneling : , MACHINE MEANS. Mininjj men all over the eountry are liking about the possibilities of "the . , ..arns tunneling machine, and some of . iio more sanguine rare predicting all orts of wonderful advances to follow iie inauguration , of the machines on omrnereial work. . Now, assuming that the machine will ;o tho work, claimed for it by all the lechanieal experts who have seen the hacbine in oporation and that it will Ivorage from four to five feet per our. on commercial tunnels from eight . 3 nine feet in diameter, as demon's demon-'s tratod with the machine now in opera- , ion, which cuts a hole four feot and , - !ire9 inches in diameter, for irrigation uryoses'it will double the value of all 4"; illablo lands in Utah and will prob-,', prob-,', blv double the population of the State i five years; it will lead to the open-ig open-ig Crf more mines in the State within :at iime than have been opened in to past twenty-five years; it will; oubfe the tonnage of . every railroad in to State; completely -swamp every . imlter in Salt take valley with ore, .id more smelters will have to be built - meet the demand; it will necessitate n? building of more railroads to the dif-" dif-" :rect mining camps and a number of w-erade camps that cannot be worked rofitably with the present method of lining will immediately be opened id a golden stream of wealth will be-in be-in to flow from their depths. Where ie miners will be. obtained to do the lcreased work will be, a serious ques-ion. ques-ion. It is among the possibilities that ie clerks in the stores, who are work-ig work-ig for small salaries, will find min-ig min-ig more remunerative and will five y their present places 'to women' and' , like-positions in the mining field. ' The three hundred and fifty million ollara worth of sub-ways that are to e run under the City of New York ill be rqn in one-sixth of the time and a tremendous saving in cost, and, itbin a short time, a great tunnel irough the Sierra Nevada range on ie Southern Pneificland another wn-r wn-r Behrine strait, connecting Alaska itb the Russian possessions, will be .wared facts. (Every mineral-bearing section in tah' will feel the innovation of this onderful machine, and nnsierous pros' lcts-that have been lying idic for tears will be added to the list of shinier. shin-ier. . .Suoli are the possibilities of the tarns Tunneling Machine. It Tvas away back in 13C7 that Mr. :i 'h brought his drill to Colorado ,1 c the first mining tunnel at j sr.. Mr. Burleigh at that fine onftratcd. in a small way of purSe, and with a rudely constructed kvice, that tunnel boring,' could' h? lne without the aid of powder and find drills'. He produced a chipping Isc, somewhat similar to the Karns FheeJ, which he turned by hand with a lank, cutting a hole two feet in dimeter di-meter in granite. Although be was ived to a trenzy over bis idea, he al-ays al-ays asserted that some day some one oiild work the principle out, as it was imply a question of applied mechanics. v INJURED MAN DYING.
