That Water.

Everybody felt q little disappointed
this morning because the Sierra Nevada
pumps had not commenced sending the
water Of that mine through to the O. Il
G. shaft. The delay has been unavoid.
able and as short as possible. The
managers OF the mine are as anxious to
get that water out as Is the public.
They understand the situation at least
as well as anybody and know that the
water occupies the chief point OF inter.
est upon the lode. They this morning
gave the assurance. however, that the
business OF raising that water would be
commenced at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
There 10 not much water to raise, as 1t
has been kept below the station on the
1900 level. Il will not take long to
clean up and get to work, for the lower
levels were all put in good repair before
1t was allowed to raise in the incline.
The day OF rejoicing is at hand.

n BURGLARS.
Sentence or Henry aud Andersen 60
SIX Years Each -rrial OF Foley
and Tracy.

-
This Is not o healthy section Of
country just now for burglars. Some
Of them are very anxious to leave 1t, as
is evidenced by the endeavors Of those
in Jail charged with that offsnss to get
out. The Slate Prison has already a
part Of the gang. and is in a fair way to
get more Of them.
In tho District Court, this morning,
Geo. Henry and VIM. Anderson. the
White House burglars, were brought up
for sentence. In answer to the usual
question as to whether they had any.
thing to say why sentence should not DO
pronounced against them. Anderson
said be had had no chance to make o
defense; he had no witnesses at the
trial; he had been locked up in jail
where he could see no friends aud where
it was impossible for him to arrange q
defense. He hoped the Court would
make the sentence slight as possible.
The Court said he had been defended
by able counsel. who had probably made
all the defense possible in the case ;
both had been given an opportunity to
testify before the jury and had done SO.
and that the Jury had seen at to ignore
the evidence they had given. and the
Court entertained no doubt Of their
guilt.
They were then sentenced to six years
each in the Stats Prison and at hard
labor.
The next case was that Of G. F..
Roper, James Foley aud George Tracy,
charged with breaking and entering the
San Francisco Restaurant and stealing
q pistol, coin. meal tickets, etc.
The District Attorney entered q nolls
prosequi as to Roper, in order to use
him az o witness for the State.
The following jury was then impan.
eled to try the case: John Fowler,
Jacob Fox, @. L. Foster. A. p. Hough.

The amount OF work being done at
the Union shaft is almost incredible.

and head full and is aided by an able
corps Of assistants. There are $50 men
at work there and no has infused into
all OF them his well-known energy and
spirit OF determination to accomplish
all that can be accomplished and do the
work well.
The first thing that attracts the atten.
ton OF the visitor to the grounds Ia the
immense amount Of machinery. timber.
lumber, rock, etc. lying about and ready
for use. And yet everything 10 ordered
with Judgment and foresight, so as to
be delivered just about the time 1t Is
needed. so that the accumulation wiii
not interfere with operations. All the
pumps and all the hobs. rods, etc. are
on the ground. The immense air pump
aud condenser for the PUMPING engine
are there. They are hug cylinders and
IL fed BY live steam would seemingly
pump the water OF the Comstock. They
arc s feet in diameter and have o 6-foot
stroke.
Then come the four pillow blocks

boxes, two Of which are 22H inches in
diameter, the other two 23H inches.
These will support the main shaft.
The foundations and lower story oil
the carpenters shop are completed. and
the main floor laid. Here timbers are
being framed for the superstructure
which Is 100 by 80 feet. On the lower
door one Of main cables has just been
spliced. having $50 feet added to ita
length which il now $3.50 feet.
Inside the works the new pump hoist
Is in operation and the work OF strip

paratus has commenced. In the shaft
tanks and pits for pumps and bobs are
being eycavated as rapidly as possible,
and at the same time other operations
incident to the general work arc going
on.
To the north OF the works the masoni
are laying the foundations for the big
pumping engine with . care commensur

work and the exactness required at every
point. The diamond drill il still boring
the huge blocks Of granite which are to
at around the anchor bolts.

the works, where the drain tunnel emp

to supply the condenser with the requis'

render its operations effsctusl.
The machine shop has not yet been
commenced. It will occupy the ground
east Of the carpenters shop and where
the Office now stands.
The energy with which operations
