!; An information circular on un
' jderground chute gates in meta
"; mines has been published by th<
I: U. S Bureau of Mines, as one of i
!j series dealing with special mininf
[ problems.
»j Underground transportation i;
i an important part of mine opera
[ tion and absorbs an appreciabl<
J part of the total underground cos1
[ at most ore mines, in mining or<
i bodies of considerable vertica
11 height, the ore is usually loadec
|; iiito cars thru the medium ol
[! chutes provided with gates oi
i doors.
These chutes form an importanl
link in the transportation and
| handling of broken ore and waste
i j and it is important that they be
i iesigned and constructed to suit
! the conditions at each mine. The
| j important influencing conditions
| are physcal nature of ore and
! rock, dip of deposit, tonnage han
!: died, size of car, cost of construc
11 tion, and cost of operation,
j The authors classify gates into
j If types and several sub-types and
! describe and illustrate each type
with the air of line drawings of
which there are 40. Of particular
j interest is a new type of gate
I which the authors term the “flex
ible” or “curtain” type, consisting
of a number of heavy chains with
| iron balls attached to the lower
lend which are suspended from
I the head cap of the chute-The
j field of application of each type
and its advantages and disadvan
| tages are discussed. Finally ex
j amples of costs of installing gates
| and chutes of various types are
J given.

FORCE EARLY SETTLEMENT
| NEW YORK, Sept. 28. (JP)—Early
j settlement of the $100,000,000 Wen
jdel estate may be forced by Miss C.
j Dickerson, companion of Geogean
i na Wendel for many years and
'beneficiary under her will. Miss
I Dickerson filed a petition for ac- j
! counting of the estate of her em- !
ployer which, if granted, probably j
will involve all the Wendel hold- '
ings. !
Permission to erect a beacon light
on Merrill field, requested several
weeks ago by the Anchorage Wo
man’s club, which is sponsoring the ;
Russell H. Merrill Memorial, was i
granted by the city council at a
recent regular meeting, and the j
way is now clear for the club to
carry out its plans, reports The
Times.
BILL JONES
NEEDS MODE INCOME
s Winter is approaching and the
5 children’s school expense will be
higher this year than last. Bill
lookd forward to less income in
the regular way. Many industries
have shifted to the “zigzag” plan
for their employees in an effort
to help everyone thru the winter.
This means that each employee
will have about half as much in
come. Prices of clothing and food
have come down some, but not in
keeping with the “zigzag” income.
There will be just as much coal to
buy and rent to pay. Bill must
buy and rent to pay. Bill must
have more money than he can
expect from his usual sources.
He has some money in the sav
ings bank drawing 3 per cent in
terest. While it is true that money
was put there for a “rainy day”
it isn’t bringing him any income
worth mentioning; and $20 or $40
or even $100 of that wouldn’t go
very far on a “rainy day.” He
needs more money coming in.
Bill Jones is the average Amer
ican. He knows that many a man
in exactly his financial condition
has invested part of his money
and has made enough return to
give him the added income he
needed. But Bill knows there is
some speculation with every in- j
vestment, no matter what it is or i
how good it sounds.
He doesn’t know whether he
should take any chances on either
his savings account or his present
income. Of course his savings ac- I
count is not absolutely safe; he1
realizes more money has been lost J
by depositors thru bank failures i
during the last 10 years than!!
! thru any single line of investment j j
; other than the stock market crash j J
in 1929. Being a true American
and realizing that “nothing risked,
nothing gained,” he likes to take
a chance. Bill is a cautious fel
jlow and wants to speculate, but
he doesn’t w’ant to lose his money.
So he tosses aside all the “wild
eyed” promises and impractical
guarantees that flood the mails
and seeks out a chance to specu
late with the safety of a flowing
oil well to fall back on if the
well he bets on turns out to be
dry. If the new well comes in
big, Bill should make a profit
of 10 times his investment. If
he doesn’t he still has his money
where it should pay him dividends,
over a period of years, twenty
times larger than the savings
bank interest. And he has the
speculative chance of making a
real fortune if the new well comes
in good. He wants to speculate
with his “fingers crossed,1 as it
were, and that is exactly what
he does when he accepts our spe
cial Pool offer, and shares in one
gusher while we drill for another.
Write us for full information,
but better still—mail us $20, $100,
or even $200, and share in our
next dividend. If you are like
Bill Jones, we might help you.
