STEAM SHOVEL TO BE TRIED
L .Ml r.KG ROUND
11 rom the r airbanks T imes)
Piacer mining in interior Asassa
-s to oe revolutionized. A: least
-«cu is uie nope of J. . 'looie, one
oi me engineers in charge of the
oreuge on i airbanks creek. Mr.
ioo.’e cas perfected a steam shotei
ivnicn he hopes to work under
ground and winch he thinks win re
place tae pick and shovel men in
me arm. Vwihin ihe near xuture
-e hopes to give his invention a
thorough tryout on 15 below, Fair
banks creek, and if it is a success
ful as lie is confident that it will
oe, it means a great deal .o .he
r airbanks diggings and to many
other mining camps of the world.
Vv hile full details of the mechan
ism of the steam shovel have not
oeen given out, it is stated, upon
reliable authority that it will be so
constructed that it will work within
a drift cot more than four feet from
rloor to ceiling. It will, of course, be
•bie to work in larger drifts a’so.
According to present plans, the sho
ve"; will be so constructed that it
■ :.l swing on a pivot in such a vay
hat the maximum radius will be
four feet.
instead of having pick and shovel
men in the drift to load the wheel
barwws or other car to cary the
ain to the bucket, the shovel .....
.oau me barrows or care thus saving
■ae cost oi the labor and also m.
time. , __ ^
' While the inventor or. his fnec.is
are not able to say now just how
; much dirt the shovel will handle,
they think it will handle between
-hree and four cubic feet each time
*t digs into the earth. It is a, so
estimated that one shovel will re
place from six to eight men.
The shovei will be built so that
■t may be run by steam, electricity
or a gasoline engine.
Mr. Toole with other associates
have taken a lease on 15 below
Fa ii > i.i .ks creek. In the near fu
ture they will sink a hole there ana
install the new shovei as soon as
i— mventor is coining to town
"and will have the shovel constructed
in one of the machine shops here it
it can be purchased at a reasonable
cost. Mr. Tooie would prefer to
have it made in Fairbanks as it
would save considerable time.
Should the tryout of the shovel prove
success it would mean a great deal
to the Fairbanks district, as it
would enable mining men to work
ow grade ground that cannot be
touched at the present time, owing
1 to the cost of operation. It would
also mean much in the Tola van a
district, where it is expected that
great deposits of low grade dirt
will be found.
Frederick Powel, one of the min
ing engineers at the dredges and F.
G. Aarons, the manager of the
dredge are said to be favorably im
pressed with the model made by
the inventor.
A fund is being raised by public
vabsvripuon to ern'er as a reward to
any one reeoverin gthe bodies of
Clark, Irw.n or De Costa, the men
who were lose oil the Frances K.
at the in. ath of the Chickindn river.
i>.o subscription list is placed at the
Steelman Hotel, and donations in any
amount will be thankfully received
there.
