monster pumps could continue to deliver
100. J0v 900 gallons of water every twenty
-four hours.
While slush ice is always more or less
bothersome. tho breaking of the elevator
chain has proven a handicap difficult to
overcome.
The normal capacity Of the four pumps
at the station is 10. co., coo gallons every
twenty-four hours. but because of the
slush ice the pumps have been able TO
deliver only 10000. 600 gallons. The men at
ing time. and in the effort To keep the
pumps up TO their normal capacity many
of them have been compelled TO work
eighteen and forty-eight hour shifts.
Slush ice will work lis way through the
intake pipe into the well. and even into
the valves of the pumps, cespite every
p~recaution. All that can be done. ordi-
Marty. is to keep the well as free from ice
as possible.
At the chain of Rocks station there are
four screens. two of one-half-inch mesh
and two or five-eighths of an inch. but

well. The water drawn through the in

is pumped into the settling basins by

In the winter there always is more or

After beng hoisted the slush is sluiced
into a basin. where a stream of hot wa

elevator was workable ii kept the we'll
comparatively clear, but since the break

vent the pumps from being choked with
the ice.
DIVER BRAVED COLD.
When the chain snapped one-half of it

TO recover it SO far having been fruit

well. but the water was so cold that he
could not stay under for more than a
minute. Since then the well has been
filled with slush ice.
Two dummy" engines were set up and
two derricks rugged last Saturday to hoist
the slush in huge buckets from the well.
