THE IMrxRlAL-ENPIRg.-The water
was sufficiently reduced in the new shaft
to admit OF working in the drifts all
last night. What was developed, depo-
ncnt saith not. This morning, after the
uuprecedcnt run of about four days
without y single accident, the concern
WAS hauled up for repairs. y radical
change is being made, and we are indeed
pleased TO state for the better. Il is a
change that should have been made long
ago, but, "bet;er late than never
Ills we'll. Those pilot wheels by which
the engineers worked the cut-otfs and
brakes, are being removed, and thegood,
honest old style Of levers are to be SUBJ
stitu,ed. There will be no more running
up cages to an unnecessary hight, or
smashing Of tanks, for n now set OF safe
ty triggers is being placed in each COM
partment OF the gallows frame, high up,
in such a position that in case II tank Is
run up to the top and the safety hook
dis~connects itself, the ank a only
drop Eve or six inches before the trig-
GERS aforesaid catch it and arrest its
downward progress. The shelves, or
pulleys, Mt the top Of the gailows
frame, over which tho cable runs,
are also taken out for the purpose
Of being turned, as the wood
work filling Of the rim had become worn
and roughcned from use. This will be
discarded altogether, and he cable al
lowed to run on tbs naked iron. All
these improvements will be consumma-
ted within forty-eisht hours, after which
il will take twenty-four hours longer to
reduce the accommodating water suiti-
GENTLY to allow Of working the drifts
again. The mir pump and tubes con-
yeying fresh air from the surface down
into the drifts worked admirably last
night. In about four days at the out
side everything will be regulated all
right and drifting into the vein pro-
cceded with, 10 be interrupted by mean
little accidents no more. These i'm
proyements now making are moves in
the right direction. There is much JOY
ahead for Respondent stockholders !
L" wait u little longer" It's going to
he q little rough on US in the local items
line. We shall be the loser. The I'm
perial-Enpire has been our best re-
source heretofore in the accident and
sensational incident line, and we feel
that we shall have to throw away those
tank smashing, cable breaking, cal
tumbling, water flooding items we had
already written up for future use whom
occasion should require.
New METHOD FOR rHE PIASo.-Iu an
other column see the advertisement oil
Mrs. ". C. White. This lady has re-
Gently arrived from the East, via Sail
Lake, and comes very highly endorsed
as n teacher of the pianoforte. She
teaches Robbins American Method fol
the. piano, melodeon or organ, which II
said to be fully a century ahead OF al
other methods, even the youngest pupils
acquiring II knowledge of music, in
Guiding thorough-bass and har mony, IN
IN almost incredibly short space Of time
Mrs. White can be found at the Inter
national Hotel, Virginia. All DESTROYS
of keeping pace with the times In learn
Ing music will make q great saving, In
both time and money, by securing the
services Of Mrs. White in preference &c
any other teacher.
