 There was no progress made yester- day in pulling up the old spiles from the river bed. A heavy chain was fas- tened around one of the spiles and the other end was attached to the center of a good sple. One end of this good spile rested on the stone abutment and the other was attached to the derrick. Thus when the power was applied a lever was formed. The great strain broke the chain, but failed to budge the spile.
