Waimano, Manananui, Mananaiki, Wsiawa
and Wainu.

spring pours forth its cool abundan, waters,
Mr. Mark Robinson has constructed an irrgi-
ting 1umc which is raised upon trestlc work Ia
a height of about 7s feet in the center of the
ravine. The water is forced from the spring
by large steam pump. The 1ume, which
will carry about 90 miners inches Of water,
runs ON a norhcrly direction around the brow
of hill near the road and thence into .
