building is Of the following dimensions
,o.wit: 50 fee. long, 5l3 feet wide and IS
fee, in hisht. The carpenter work is un.
der the superintendence OF Mr.. z. Kuper
who (f we are to judge by his work. is 6
frs, class workman. The building. wher
completed, will be n very commodiouI
establishment. The carpenter shop will
be 80 BY 521. leaving the engine and
hosting room 50 by OLD feet. The build.
ing will be enclosed within FIVE days. bu,
the machinery will not be IN running
order for some time TO come. The ma
chinsry consists of a sixty-horse power
engine, the cylinder being l6 inch bore
and having two feet stroke. Steam is
supplied BY two boilers, each Of which is
IS inches in diameter and Is feet long,
and containing 40 fues. Mr.. Thompson
is the engineer, who has charge Of putting
up the machinery and is sparing no pains
in order 20 have every thing work to per-
fiction. The mine is at the present time
taking out one hundred tons per day Of a
very superior class Of ore; and when the
new machinery is put in operation the
mount will doubtless be increased to
double that amount. The prospects OF
this mine are verv ist,ering and the profits
no doubt very remunerative to the tortu-
nate holders OF the stock.
