THE Topeka NINE.

Lamont & Ballard, who were awarded
the contract for placing the new i'm
provemeuts at the Topeka mine, have
ordered the lumber for the enlargement
OF the building and will commence work
as soon as the material arrives. The
main building will be 118x7O feet, 45
feet in height, with two stories. The
room for the engine and holster of the
Webster, Lane & Co. pattern, compress
sors, dynamo and two 100 more power
boilers will be 2Ox7O feet, with brick
floor and other precautions taken to
guard against fire. The coal room will
have a capacity Of 100 tons, ore bins $50
tons, and water tank OF 10000 gal o as
capacity. 1t will require 5000 feet of
lumber in the buildings. The shaft is
to be stripped, widened, retimbered and
arranged for skipway three eet wide
The rails will be twenty pound weight.
The east shaft is being cleared OF the
three eight hour shifts of miners, in
getting it in order for the new skipway
OF three feet gauge. AS soon as this is
completed sinking will be resumed and
the shaft carried on down to the depth
OF 1900 feet. The additional depth of
1,0OU feet attained, levels driven at inter
walls Of 10 feet, will place the Topeka at
head of the list OF the great gold ore
producers of the county. In sinking
the shaft and driving the levels power
drills will be used, which have proven to
be the most expeditions manner Of de-
veloping mine, especially where the
ground is of as hard texture as that
OF the Topeka. BY the beginning OF the
year 1901 the property will be in shape
for giving employment to fully l5O men
underground.
