A Triumph of Engineering Skill.

The completion of shaft connecting
the eighth and tenth levels in the De
Lamar mines has demonstrated tina
Mr.. Will Plummer, Mining Engineer
successfully and accurately accom-
plished one of the most difficult feats
of underground surveying coming with
in the knowledge of western miners.
tits almost impossible for one to de
scribe this remarkable piece of accu.
rate work, even with diagrams, and
without them we of course can not ex.
pect our readers to comprehend all
the difficulties encountered and the
great care and accuracy which the en-
gineer must have exercised.
A shaft forty degrees from horizon
tai connected the two levels, the lower
one being 1876 feet in perpendicular
depth below the upper. A shaft was
started in the upper level HOO feet fur
Their in, and the purpose of the survey
was to find a point at which to begin an
upraise to meet the shaft from the
tenth level. To add to the difficulty,
this shaft was being sunk from the
eighth level at an angle of forty degrees
from horizontal. Both the drifts on
the upper and lower levels were so tor
tuous in their course that to survey
from the top of the new shaft started,
to the top of the former shaft-a dis
lance of HOO feet-twenty-five sights
had to be taken and that many angles
noted. These angles varied from few
degrees to nearly right angle. Then,
reaching the top of the older shaft, the
survey had to be carried down that
shaft and carried along the tortuous
course of the lower level about 800 feet,
to the nearest point attainable under
the top of the shaft to be connected.
Then a crosscut had to be run to reach
the point desired, distance of ninety
feet. But in order to make room for a
station, this crosscut had to be DETECTED
eight feet from the desired point and
the station cut out before the upraise |
was started. Calculations also had to be
for the pitch of the pro-
posed upraise. The upraise was carried |
Up sixty feet and met the shaft coming

lpon the lower level saw the lights of

Engineer Plummer is quite a young
nan, but this is not the first triumph

nut only one of number. A survey
made two years ago to connect long

Josiah Bruce Adjudged Insane and Taken
to Blackfoot.

For several months past Josh Bruce
has given his relatives and friends a
good deal of concern, because it has
been apparent that he was mentally de-
ranged but as it was believed to be
caused by drinking, and because he
showed no indications of becoming vio-
lieut., he has been allowed to go where
he chose and remain at liberty. A few
days ago, however, his condition
changed from that of harmless stupor to
amental excitement and wildness which
made it necessary to guard him for fear
that he might either do something vio-
lent, or wander off, get lost and perish.
His brother George, therefore, caused
him to be taken before the Probate
Judge and an examination held. He
was adjudged insane and the superin-
tendent of the insand asylum at Black
foot notified, and an attendant sent for
him who took him out on Tuesday.
Mr.. Bruce belongs to one of the best
known and most respected families in
Owyhee, being the youngest brother of
Sam and George and the lately deceased
Robert Bruce, and Mrs. Alfred Soth-
eren. He is steam engineer and good
practical all round mechanic, and, like
all of the family, noted for having
wonderful memory. Genial, affable, in
telligent and industrious, his weakness
for drink has been the cause Of his
mental arrangement. His many friends
hope to see him soon again restored.
Two very foolish young chits of girls,
daughters of Joseph Franz, of this
place, took it into their silly heads to
skip from what, from all reports, is not
a pleasant home; and as they were tenn
porarily stopping with Mr.. and Mrs.
H. Falkner, of Pleasant valley, they
went to Jordan valley and picked up a
kid named Walter Young, who was en-
dowed with even less sense than they,
and the trio started for Nevada. The |
