DEPARTURES


The wrist pin which connects the two
large spur wheels of the Raymond &
Ely pumping engine broke again on the
23i inst. at 10 a. m. 4 new one was on
the way from San Francisco but had not
arrived, and as there was no iron in
Phoebe long enough to make new one
it became necessary to weld two pieces
together. These pieces were 81 inches
diameter in the rough and had to be
turned down to IA when finished. 1t
seldom becomes necessary even where
the largest kind of work is done to weld
shaiting of this size, and it requires a
blacksmith who understands bis bust
ness thoroughly that can be depended
upon TO make sound weld every time,
therefore much credit is due Mr.. j.
Mackinson who has now accomplished
this feat twice since he has been in
Phoebe. Mechanics who have lived for
years in Virginia City say they do not
know Of anything larger than 6 inch
shaft being welded there. and we are Of
the opinion that the piece welded at the
Raymond & Ely shops is the largest
The new pin was turned by Mr.. Dow on
the night of the 23d, and at $50 p. m.
yesterday the pumping engine was again
break the pumps were making IL strokes
per minute and were discbarging nearly
$50, 900 gallons of water per "a hours
equal to over 80 miners inches. We
doubt whether any mine in Virgins
. 1, 10 .
sidtring that it all has to be raised 1.24(
feet a good idea can be formed Of th,
magnitude of the machinery necessary
to perform such task. The amount o
water coming from the Sutro tunnel i
only AZ miners inches and here We rails
80 miners inches of water 1900 feet
The repairs to the machinery have beef
done in the most expeditions name
and goes to show that we have as goo
mechanics in Phoebe as any on tn
Coast. Great credit is due Capt. Day
the Superintendent, for the admirabl
Judgment he has displayed in having ar
pliances and men ready for any emel
gency, and We are proud to say that "
have mine in Phoebe that is conducte
in as good style as any on the Coast, an
we sincerely hope the day is not tar di
taDt when we shall strike bonanz
equal in richness and extent to those
the Comstock.
