Utah miners are never alow in recognizing the merits of any new invention or enterprise that will maintain main-tain for them the enviable reputation which they have so justly earned. ORE AT TUNNELING MACHINE. The Utah Karns Tunneling Machine company has on exhibition at its office, photographs of the large railroad tun neling machine which is now under construction at Cleveland, O. The artistic work of the photographs is of the highest class, and gives an exact reproduction of the machine from several sev-eral different views, being the best illustration of this wonderful machine that has yet been presented. These photographs (five much valuable information in-formation as to the construction and practical possibilities of the machine and ran be readily understood by any mechanical engineer. This huge piece of machinery, with the driving device, weighs, complete, 110 tone, having upon the face of the i wheel 4000 drill points and will be operated by 14.000 cubic, feet of free air per minute, requiring boilers sufficient suffi-cient to generate 1200-horse power. The machine takes an eight-inch stroke and 150 per minute, with a force of 63,000 pounds. The model of this machine waa critically inspected at Cleveland, last month, by prominent mechanical engineers and mining experts, representing repre-senting large railroad and mining interests, inter-ests, and so sanguine were they of its ultimate success that several of them predicted that a machine of this weight would travel ten feet an hour through hard rock. It was conceded that such a machine would revolutionize present methods of railroad tunneling and would almost insure air line work in future fu-ture railroad construction. The Utah company is makin? every effort to pat these machines into practical prac-tical operation in the State, for railroad, rail-road, irrigation and mining purposes and with the vast amount of tunnel work now in light, the future revenue of the company would to be practically guaranteed. 8ome cf the |
