The Winslow Mail, 1897-03-27

Some interesting phenomena have been noted at the high fall water power plant at Fresno, California, where the y Pelton wheels are operated under a fall L . of 1411 feet and an enormous pressure a and jet velocity are developed. A sud sud. - . sud. den stoppage of the water flow will raise the hand of the pressure guageto ! g the astounding height of 1000 pounds }- per square inch, the pressure returning q eventually to' nearly a' corresponding q distance below the normal, accompa accompanied - nied accompanied for over thirty seconds by a sharp 3 reverberation. The great pipe writhes like a huge serpent, and the commo commoe - e commoe tion in its interior sounds like the fir- j t ing of distant canon. The only safe- | e guards in such eudden changes cf flow j are the great strength and elasticity of the steel. The water is applied to the j y wheels by deflecting nozzles. Th3 ter- j a rifle force that this stream of water is j capable of is almost incredible. It will j s bore a hole through a 3-inch plank iu g a few minutes; it will tear a hole .1 through a three-eighth inch piece of t steel in a few days; concrete melts be be[. - [. be[. fore it like sugar. The only successful tSbde yet known of safely stopping the motion of the water from the nozzle is to put a heavy casting plate in the tail e fhee in such a manner that it can be quickly replaced when worn out. - | a Western Mining World. A. placer miner brought in from Willow creek, a few days ago, three | t nuggets, worth $22.59, sl6 and $10, ! which were picked up on top of the e ground. Willow Creek flows from a northwesterly direction through the s northern suburb of Prescott and has never been considered a placer gold 1 stream, though nuggets have been found on its banks and in its bed a from time to time. The nuggets re recently - cently recently found were exposed by action v of flood water, without doubt. There are many promising gold quartz claims j r near the head waters of Willow creek. . - Courier. 1 The council passed a vote of confi- B j dence in governor while the house , | passed'a vote censuring him, and to the public the governor remains in the eyes 3 of the people in statu quo, without I praise or censure. This part of the j business in the house was evidently a l play on the part of outsiders who were j trying simply to annoy the governor * and hasten the appointment of a new , governor, which seems to be hanging fire. - Phcenix Herald. | Not long ago a man driving to Jerome 5 i broke down in the Verde Valley. He 1 , * proceeded to a ranch near by and asked . j the farmer if be had a monkey wrench. 1 \ The farmer evidently misunderstood for he promptly replied: "No, sir; this is not a monkev ranch. It is a chicken [ ranch."'--Mining News. r j * . . i A member of the United States Geo - j logical Survey who took part in the re-; | cent examination of the copper belt at ! I Butte, Montana, says: "It is still an ! open 'question with us as to whether the ! i amount of copper washed away in the j water from the mines of Butte district ' is not equal in value to the total ont ont' - ' ont' ; put of all the mines of the district if ; it could be saved." 1 Gov. Franklin desires the Herald to ' state that the interview published in a 1 morning paper quoting him as raying that he had heard that Dr. Vickers ''ante down from. Prescott with $6,000 g

It was an lowa man who gave voice to the following gospel: "Would you take three dollars and be without your paper for a year? If uot you owe a debt of gratitude besides the money. Your home paper is one * f your best, truest and most helpful *'rionds. And by the home paper I mean one that, has stood by you for years, and has ever b -en found a safe counselor. If you owe the editor a dollar go and pay it to him now, and while doing so ask him if there is anything else you can do for him that will aid in making the paper X still betted friend and still better companion for your wife and children."

The World's Newspapers,- | A German statistician has recently compiled figures as to the total num number - ber number of newspapers printed during a year which he estimates at 12,000,000,- 000 copies. To gather an ade'quate idea of this enormous quantity, it might be stated that all these papers spread out would more than cover all the continents and islands of the earth. The weight of the paper would amount to 781,240 tons. If this entire edition were to be printed by One single press, the largest ; and most rapid one now in use, the total edition would take 333 years to print. Stacked up vertically this quantity form a column of 260,000 feet in height. Suppose that every reader devotes but five minutes per day to the reading of his paper, the time used by the total population of the eartfti would amount to 100,000 years. - Philadelphia Record.
