During most Of the past week all On.

the mine for the anticipated flooding
from the Savage. The loose ground has
all been caught up and now the work Of
sinking the WINE on the south line will
be pushed vigorously. While the station

After placing the pumps at the 1880
and the 2560, work was resumed In the
mine. It was then asoertainsd that the
incline cable needing looking 10 and tar

No work doing In the mine except re-
pairing and putting in order the conneo.

tenth level at the head OF the incline.
This is needed for ventilation and for q

Orders have bssn received TO continue
pumping till further instructions are
given.

Preparations for the resumption OF
work on the 1000 level are going on. that
