ing the week four tons of castings have
been made, most of which are for the
Raymond e. Ely mill. some for the y. G.
R. R, also the necessary castings for
new cupola which is being built for the
Raymond & Ely Iron Works. When
finished this cupola will have capacity
of about seven tons, that is, it will be
capable of melting seven tons of iron at
one heat. The water pipe Is being laid
from the large tank on top Of the bill
down to the works; this pipe is Az
inches diameter and will furnish an
abundant supply of water in case of
any fire taking place at the hosting
works or foundry. 4 large piece OF
hammered iron has arrived from the San
Francisco Rolling Mills to make new
pin for the pumping engine; it is six feet
long and so inches diameter. II is now
in the lathe being turned by Mr.. Dow
and will be ready to go in place if neces-
sary on Monday night. The pumps
raise water 1850 feet and discharge from
40 to Al gallons per stroke. So, a fair
idea can be formed Of the immense
amount of water that has been raised
from the mine during the las ten days.
1t is probable that If none OF the machin.
erv gives out that the bottom OF the shaft
will be seen in few days. At the time
of writing the water is down within
eleven feet of the bottom and notwIth-
standing that the pump is making eleven
strokes per minute it does not appear to
gain on the water 70 any perceptlble de-
gree.
