all over the premises. To attempt to give
ANYTHING like a description OF the premi-
ses would require more time and space
than is allotted to US. The engine room 10
one Of the greatest features of the whole
concern. being very large and finished up
in the most superb style. The side Of the
room next to the hosting works or shaft
is all glass, giving the engineer an oppor-
tuni,y Of seeing all that is going on in the
hosting room. The engine room contains
three engines Of sixty horsepower each
for hosting purposes-one for each shaft.
The rope used is the fat wire rope, and
the reels are Of that style usually used
with wire rope. There is TO brakeman in
the works, the engineer attending the
whole concern. The reels are very large,
and the cage shoots up like an arrow.
: The principal object OF interest, however,
10 the two hundred and fifty horsepower
beam-engine that is being put up for
pumping. The engine was manufactured
by Goss 4 LamSard. Of Sacramento, and
is one OF the finest we have ever seen On
the coast. We could not give any kind
an idea OF the amount of machinery there
is about il, as there are a thousand things
we never saw before. The engine bed
weighs $4,000 pounds, and the iywheel
from ten TO twenty tons. The walking
beam is supported by two large cassiron
columns and braced by large round
iron bars neatly turned and perfectly
bright. The main shaft is twelve inches
in diameter. and reminds one of tine wheel
shat, on an ocean steamer. The engine
is a Curliss. and manufactured by Goss &
Lambard. This we believe is the largest
and most powerful engine ever put up in
this State. The next thing that attracted
our attention as something new and novel
was a pump used TO force the water INTO
the boilers; il is called the Stodard pump,
and is said TO far surpass anything yet in
vented. There are two cylinders, n Of
which fills with water. and the other is for
steam. The piston extends from one to
the other when the piston comes for
ward with the force of steam, it drives the
water in the other cylinder into the boiler;
then when il goes back il opens the valve
and II Immediately fills with water again.
The motion used 10 supply three boilers
Is about fifteen strokes per minut yet,
in case Of a fire. when much water is
needed, il may be run sixty per minute.
To one end Of the pump there IL a long
string Of hose, for use in case OF lire, and
for washing out the fues of the boilers.
Our attention was next directed 70 a
safety cage, and we do not hesitate TO
state that the safety cage in use at the
Savage mine, and invented by Mr.. Thayer,
is a complete success, and should De
adopted by every mine where they are
working by cages. II is simple It its con-
~struction and perfect in its design. Many
lives nigh, be saved II this cage was
adopted in our mines. The last, though
not least, of our observations was TO take
a look at the new dump, which is an ex-
tensive arrangement, being capable OF
holding two thousand tons Of ore at one
time. The dump is a. the present time
abou, half full Of s splendid looking
quality Of ore. In conclusion we would
say that If any one thinks that the works
on the Conssock are temporary affairs, so
and see the Savage, as it is well worth in
spec,ing. We return thanks to Mr..
Thayer for courtesiea extended.
BOHEMIAN FEAST. - Yesterday after
