| shaft cleaning up and timbering. They
will start next week to put down the
runners or cage guides. When the shaft
was started the management put down
runners Of the standard size in two Of the
four compartments. In one of these the
guides run all the way down to the bot
tom. These will not have to be replaced
but can be used with the new hosting
machinery. In another Of the spaces the
standard guides were put down for dis
lance Of $500 feet. This work was done
while the sinking was going on. Runners
will have to be laid in two of the spaces
all the way from the top to the bottom
and in one of the spaces the balance Of
the distance from the 1,5O0-foot point to
the bottom.
This work will take over two weeks to
complete. When this isfinished the WORK
of laying the 14-inch air pipe will be
started. The men are doing the work of
getting the pipes in shape for laying now.
1t is interesting work and affords an
illustration Of the powers of air in work
of this nature. There is a collar on Ell.
Their end of the pipes and two collars are
riveted together. connecting the pipes.
The riveter is run by air and does excel
lent work.
On surface about No. 5 the men are
setting ready to pull up the large
sheaves to the top of the shaft house.
One of the big wheels is on the ground
already, another is alreadw in commits
sion and the other two are at the Tam
arack mine. The runners have all been
framed and are ready to be put down.
The iron workers of the Wisconsin
Bridge & Iron company. who have COM
pleted their contract for the construction
of the steel shaft and rock house, pulled
UP stakes yesterday and went to Ira
verse Bay where they have the Mohawk
and Wolverine contracts to handle. The
rock house machinery for the new build
ing will all have to be put in place and
the second large hosting plant which the
Nordberg people are building will have
to go in before the shaft can be consid-
cred fully in commission.
The bottom drift will now be connected
with No. 3 Tamarack below the Calumet
& Hecla boundary and improve ventila-
ton. This, at the depth of 5000 feet, will
afford Tamarack a stretch of ground on
the Calumet conglomerate Of a length Of
1000 feet, or 500 acres Of mineral terri
tory, equal in value to the rock from the
Calumet & Hecla. With Nos. 5, 4, and
2 producing at their full capacity lamar
ack should easily produce 100000
pounds of refined copper per annum at
cost Of seven and one-half cents
pound.
