The power is transmitted by belt and gearing to two large groovedpulleys, lined with leather, about 7 ft. 3 in. in diameter, around which thehauling rope is several times coiled. This rope is kept taut by meansof tension weights and pulleys similar to those of the carrying rope. The Garucha line just referred to is one of the most importantof the Otto ropeways yet constructed. It is used for the transportof iron ore from the mines at Serena de Bedar to the IMediterraneancoast at Garucha, a distance of 9I miles. The line is divided intofour sections, the first two of which are i4o and 3*29 miles longrespectively, and are driven by means of a 30-horse-power engine; 524 MACHINERY FOR METALLIFEROUS MINES. and the second two sections are 329 and 2-8 miles long, worked bya 70-horse-power engine. After leaving the loading station at Serena, which is over 905 the sea level, the line crosses a number of d
