were about 10,090 miners work
ing at dredging, drifting and
open-cut mining. In an open
cut mine they haul the dirt up
with a small two-wheel cart and
i j a woman driver. In some drift
if mines they are using horses for
I hoisting the dirt.
“A wooden drum is used and
an endless cable and two buck
• | ets. They have a double shaft
■ and one bucket comes up as the
! other goes down. In most of
' | the places they are using steam
I for hoisting in the same way.
j The sluice boxes start from the
' shaft. Two women trip the buck
jets as they come up. Four women
11 tend the sluices. Tailings are
• | hauled away with horses and
idump cars. The track is laid in
■ | a circle. The drift mines run
Jail winter. Boxes are built from
i the ground up and steam is
used to keep the water from
( freezing. It is a very expensive
way of mining.
“Miners take out 45 cubic feet
per six hour shift. Working hours
are six underground and .eight
- on dredges or other work. The
dredges are not digging much,
in fact not half as much as
, they should be.
,! “They are building 12 new
seven and one-half cubic foot
steel dredges in Siberia this year.
At all mines and dredges that
1 I have seen they have twice as
many men as we would have in
j Alaska doing the same amount
| of work.
“This city is headquarters for
| the mining industry in Russia.
They have an office force of 500
, j men and women. Mr- Wimmbler
, j (the American engineer responsi
i! ble for securing Alaska miners)
. | and I have been making out lists
I for thawing equipment for 32
| thawing plants. I am going out
to Aldan in a few days and
| teach them how to drive points.
,Mr. Wimmbler is leaving tomor
row for America, for good.”

The KOHLER Automatic*
produces 11O-voit current
The Kohler Automatic Power and Light Plant produces
standard 110-volt electricity, and therefore allow! you to
use the same standard electric light bulbs and appliances
used in cities. These appliances are available everywhere
and cost less than those of lower voltage.
Coupled with this advantage of the Kohler Automatic i3
the feature of * ‘no storage batteries. ’’ This does away with
the trouble and expense of maintaining a large bank of
glass-cell storage batteries. The only battery used with
the Kohler Automatic is a small, automobile-type, for
starting the engine.
Thus the Kohler Automatic gives you all the advantages
of city electricity with the same convenience—simply
turn any button on the circuit and you have electricity
for power or light. Send for illustrated booklet. Come in
and see the plant in operation. •
