IKE hoisting-works of the Dardanelle

ready that day, but unless something en-
traordinary happens, they will be started
some day this week. The machinists have
some little fitting to do around the engine
yet, before she will be ready 10 do her
part, and the millwrightS have q little
more work TO do about the frame. They
have been making cage TO hoist water
with. 1t is squarS> just small enough TO
work clear in the shaft and leave but lit
tie space. and is about fathom deep. 1t
will be set 10 run in guides, 10 keep It in
It's right position when it runs up and
down the shaft. This tub has valve in
its bottom which regulates itself by the
water, through which it will fill, and
through which the water will be dis
charged. II is very large. and we judge
that it will hold ut least 200 gallons.
With one or two such institutions as this
at work hosting water, it willnot take
the company long 10 take it frop' rs claim,
SO that It can commence work in.
CONSOLIDATED CoMrANY.-- mis- COM
pany struck water in its shaft few DAYS
ago. and since then has been busily en-
gagged in hbiSting it with It's whim. Min
ing has been suspended and all attention
devoted to raising the water. 1t will con-
tinuc 50 for several days at least, unless
the water subsidies. Sometimes when
water is struck in shaft in this manner.
il comes from small reservoir some
where in the hills, and if It Is hoiSted
from the shaft, Will soon drain out and
not trouble the mine any more and il
is for this reason, that companies almost
always, when thew strike water which
prevents them q; the time from proceed
ing with the work. continue 10 hoist wa
ter for several days: this generally has the
desired effect. If this company succeeds
in taking out the water, it will commence
sinking its shaft again. The company
had sunk down - feet since it commenc-
ed n couple of weeks ago when it struck
the water. which is now delaying opera
tons, and its shaft is now about 200 feet
deep. If the water does not subSide 50
n 70 admit Of its being kept out by Il
whi,n. the company will, we understand,
put up >team-hoisting works.
SrRrcE WATER.-The La Plato Orc
Company struck water in is shaft N the
dcp:h OF $40 feet. 1t came in. in such
quantity, that it was utterly impossible to
keep it OUT with the facilities which the
company has for working with. The
hosting is done with horse and whim,
bat the shafts 50 deep that though the
water raises but about SIX feet above the
bottom. It cannot be taken out rapidly
enough 70 make scarcely any impression
on it, in the way of diminishing its quail
". The company has suspended opera
tons, and will wait few days TO see
whether the wafer VIII Sub>ide. II 1t
does the work Of sinking the shaft will
be recommended. If it does not rcccde
from the shaft, within few days, the COM
pany viii probably commence a drift, at
the water level, and run it to the ledge. If
it does SO, we have no doubt but it will find
paw rock BY so doing it would strike
the ledge about 200 feet deeper than it
WIS struck in the tunnel. and there the
ledge was found TO be well defined and
large. It looked well and as$aved well,
and there can be little doubt but that at
the greater depth of 200 feet it will be
found much richer.
The BELcRER Company will com meme
taking out rock through it, shaft next
week. II IS completing its dump as rap
idly as possible. and the teamSters will
find that It will not be so much work, or
take so mach time 10 load from this place
which will be as high up As the top Of the
wagon as from the dump from which they
load gelcher rock at present. The new
dump will have stone walls for 4 founda-
ton and Will be of the most approved
style The walls are now nearly COM
pleted. and are stretched along the road
nearly 200 feet. The frame work will
aoon be made, and within q week it is eX-
pected that a part Of the dump will be
ready for use. The rest can be completed
Ut leisure. for the use of q part will be
amply sufficient while the rock can be
hauled away as fast as it Is taken out
When the whole dump is completed it
will be of sufficient capacity to hold hun
drcds Of tons Of quartz, and here the COM
pany can store it whenever the facilities
for crushing it are not equal to the faciIl-
ties for taking it out.

The Combined Effort Company's shaft
is now about 26O feet deep, and heavily
timbered all the way down. As soon as
it is sunk a couple of feet further, 1t will
be timbered down closely, and work at
sinking will be suspended. This will be
done to-day. but work on the claim will
not be stopped. y drift will be COM
menced and run to the ledge, which It Is
expected will be struck rich at this level.
The drift viii be run from the shaft at the
6epth Of 80 feet, which will be about ten
feet from the bottom, that depth being left
for use as stump III case water should be
struck in the drift.
The MIDAS COMPANY has commenced
drift from its shaft, and is now running
to its ledge. Its shaft is 400 feet deep.
The drift has been run only few days,
and has consequently not been run far.
There was no water struck IN the shaft,
and there has been none struck IN the drlft
