Hyder’s Aerial Tram,
Longest on Continent,
Starts Without Hitch
Hyder Miner. -
Monday morning power was turned
for the first time onto the big aerial
tram that connects the Premier mine
with tidewater. Very, very slowly,
the twenty-three milts of traveling
cable was made to move at first, for,
although the acme of engineering skill
could proclaim that the lino had been
correctly installed, the human factor,
which enters more or less into all ma
terial, had to be considered, and dis
cretion dictated caution in trying out
the costly equipment.
However, no fault has been found in
■ the construction or material, and no
changes will have to be made. It was
a two-days’ job stringing the buckets
onto the cable, and the first ore to be
loaded was started from the mine to
day. There are 250 buckets, with a
capacity of BOO each, or a total capacity
for the buckets of 100 tons. So when
the first buket out from the upper
hunkers returns, the guaranteed ca
pacity of the tram, 100 tons, will have
been delivered at the lower bunkers.
Anyone who likes figures is at liberty
to figure out from this start how fast
< the buckets w^Hl travel during their 23
mile trip. On the start the buckets
will not be loaded to their full capac
ity, but will be worked up to it as the
, equipment is rounded’into perfect run
i ning order.
The tram was built under contract
• by the- 3 G. Rihlet Tramway Company,
, of Spokane, with T. H. Graham in
■ charge of the construction. Mr. Gra
> ham has been building tram lines for
26 years. The feat he has just accom
plished of finishing in one short season
the longest aerial tram on. the Amer
ican continent, and ■ under a- series of
adverse happenings, is one.tnat speaks
volumes for his executive ability and
engineering skill.
