BY taking up and changing a portion Of the
line Of 3-inch pipe that forms a Junction with
the Treasure Hill line. and leads into Ham;i-
ton. so as to connect The Hamilton line win
The Treasure Hill line at another point,
obtained Sin b pipe 73l feet. This, beine sd.

the 2,o37 feet Of S-inch pipe substituted Tor
the l2-'nch taken up, aud makes the whels
line complete again. As will now be seen
this change Of pipe affects only the line run
ming to Hamilton and treasure City, tbus
leaving the main leading to kbcrhardt intact
This substitution Of 3-inch pipe for the II.

or in the near future, IL Is y decided advsn.
tage to the Water Works, for the reason that
during all our cold and freezing weather, az

Hence the obvious advantage to the Wst.,
Works in favor Of the 3-inch pipe now being
laid.
The 10 inch pipe thus obtained for the TIM.
mel was. when new. coated inside and out
with ssphaltum. which has wonderfully pre-
served il from rust.
This pipe not only admirably serves our
present requirements for conveying air from
tho blower, but IL will serve oil purposes ior
air from any sized compressor our future o..
CREATIONS may need.
Inc bio seris a very compact machine. that
weighs 1900 pounds, and costs, delivered AZ

my weekly reports will confirm it a reality.
and our monthly rendering OF accounts shes
a much reduced rate per foot.
Everything about the works Is running

Our own orc now on dump. and being o..
sorted at n. A. mine, will also he hauled and
milled during the run. l do not think tss
amount of our ore will exceed 800 TINS. Shall
start the mill soon as the quantity OF ore de-
lIyered will warrant.
The mill will be started up In very much
