RAYMOND u ELY FoUNDRY.-trom Geo.
Ames, Superintendent, and j. B. Pitch
ford, Foreman, we yesterday learned the
following items OF news: The new cylin-
der built by the Raymond & Ely Iron
Works, for the Phoebe mine, is now in
place, and after few repairs are made
on the engine, it will be in good substan-
tial order for sinking 1900 feet. The d.
ameter of the reel of the Phoebe mine is
being increased so as to contain 1900 feet
of rope. A new safety cage is being built
for the Phoebe mine ut the Raymond 4
Ely Works; it is somewhat different from
the ordinary plan of safety cages, hav-
ing steel spiral spring made of one
fourth inch round steel wire to operate
the safety dogs. II was tested in the
shop to-day by being hoisted up with a
load on it. Then the rope which held
the cage was cut, and the cage only
dropped distance of one and half
inches on the guides before the safety
dogs caught. This plan of cage is con-
sidered very safe and works admirably,
and will doubtless give general satisfac-
ton. A Cameron steam pump for the
American Flag Mill has just been thor
'oughIy repaired, aud will be shipped as
soon as the mill starts operations. Good
progress is being made on the new boil.

A new tank will be placed at the head o

be better for that purpose than the Flo

of this water came from San Francisco
