The work Of easing up the timbering OF
the shaft. neccssitated by the swelling OF
the ground at some points, Is completed
and sinking IL actively resumed. The

ore body may BE- encountered before long.
Owing 10 the powerful machinery and
ample pumping arrangements, no trouble
Is experienced In handling what water
comes In. and none Is anticipated.
