AERIAL MINING
Wishing to become posted on
th« marvellous facilities oi air
sei A ; we have been readingup
on rhe subject' and here is one
sui rising story we have found
which will interest Alaskans.
"On the big San Christabel
ranch 1 1 Now Mexico the thous
ands >f cattle were not so many
\ * go looked after by 150
cowboys.'
Then the ranch-owners in
stilled automobiles, & the work
was done, thoroughly, by seven
men. Now 1 he management is
installing aviators.
It estimated that their vast
superior speed will round-up the
mos‘ scattered herds with great
saving of time and money, and
though 1 admit that proof of *uc
cessful working has yet to come
to hand, I see no reason why
the aviator cow-puncher should
not make good.
An enterprising mining Co. in
Mexico whose ore is mined at
an altitude of some 10,000 ieet
are superseding the pack mules
which carry the ore down to
the valley below, with aero
planes, which can volplane down
in a few minutes, and easily
reach the high altitude.
Then, again, an aviator is en
gaged by a power Co. in Sacra- J
mento, California, to carry an
expert once a week to inspect
two divisions of wire lines 08
miles in length over the valleys
of the Sacramento and San Joa
quin rivers into the Contra Cos
ta range of mountains, whe*e
their elevation is in places 2000
feet.
Previously a large number °f
men had to be employed to in
spect the wires, searching for
fallen wires, broken insulators,
etc., but it is claimed th it the
work is ilon * much better by the
aerial linesman.”
