that General Miles has gone to garrison it ana to
take up new line of occupation. In this new po-

Crown Point mine. has been completed
and we will this afternoon turn all the
water We have on our 2400 and $500 levels
In same direction. This will very ma.
terially decrease the quantity Of steam re-
quired. and thereby save fuel, - all the
water on those levels has heretofore been
pumped by means Of compressed air.
Everything in and about the mine moves

VIRGINIA Crrr, July 10. 1878. - Jacob
.S,adysid. Jr., Secretary! In the fore part
Of the present week the dow Of water In
the shaft increased TO 10000 gallons per
a hours. From Wednesday TO this date
II has decreased TO 1866 900 gallons, but IL
seriously intsrferos with sinking. Nine
feet have been added to the depth Of the
shaft for the week ending this date; total
depth, 1858 feet. An increase Of water
has also taken place In the east erossout.
with indications Of . strong dow Of water
close ahead. In consequence Of this In.
crease and the increase In the shaft II was
deemed advisable to suspend operations In
the crosscut until the water shall have
sufficiently decreased to DO handled with
freedom. The o~ompany's hosting ma
chinery. owing to its direct and quick
motion. enables US to handle the water
and sink our shaft most wonderfully we'll.
taking into consideration that this large
dow OF water has to DO bsiled with buckets
