WASHINGTON AND CREOLE. - Our re-

porter visited the works Of this company /
yesterday, and had the pleasure of see
ing them in operation. The machinery, |
manufactured by Booth & Co., of San
Francisco, consists of 30-horse power
engine, with a Pinch bore and 20-inch
stroke, and double reel with double
clutch motion, the drums of which are
4 feet, with boilers, etc, to match. The
boilers, engine and drums are all set on
! a solid stone foundation feet deep, it
| being one of the best foundations in the
camp for machinery The machinery
was set mp and put in running order by
G. W. Salisbury, engineer, formerly
with Booth & Co. He is one of the best
engineers the coast has produced, and
has these works in splendid running
order. The main building covering the
engine, drums and shaft will be 80 by GA
feet, with side building attached for
the boil,r house. The buildings will be
erected under the supervision of G. G.
French. The Superintendent, p. c. Hy
iuan, stopped work on the shaft on the
10Th of August, and Immediately COM
menced gradng-just one month being
consumed in getting the hosting ma
chinery up and III running order. Work
on the mine Win be resumed Immediate
". Since taking charge of this mine the
Superintendent has had the shaft below
the 350-feet level Strengthened and widen
ed to the same width it is above that
level, whereby he is enabled to run n
cage on one side of the shaft and a
bucket on the. other, for which purpose
he has had wire rope one inch in dame
ter placed on the drums, that being the
safest for hosting purposes. The entire
,.ilatt has also been retlmbered and new
guide timbers (6x4) for buckets placed
in it. The work, under John p. Cullen,
, foreman, has been done in good shape,
and we will not have to wait long for a
good report from this mine.
