the roads with ashes and cinders
from the various boiler houses
throughout the plant. After be-
coming well packed the cinders
make good firm roadways for the
heavy truck loads that constantly
pass over them.
Work on the new pumping sta
ton located near the east end Of
the entrance viaduct is progress
sing favorably. The concrete
foundations for the immense
pumps that will draw water from
the Bessemer ditch and then
force it up to reservoir No. 3, or
to the stand pipe in the works, is
laid and neat brick building of
attractive architectural design is
being erected to cover the pumps
and machinery. A force of pipe
filters are engaged in making the
necessary main connections and
putting in several large valves for
cutoff purposes. The water from
the Bessemer ditch is what comes
to the works from the company's
Twin Lakes supply, near Lead
vile. 1t is brought to the head
gate of the Bessemer ditch in the
Arkansas river from point near
Leadville, and as the Bessemer
ditch runs through the Minnequa
works, the delivery of the water is
very handy. 1t is with this Twin
Lakes water that reservoir No. 3
will be filed by means of the big
compound pumps that will be
placed at the new station.
The surplus of coal and coke
in the south yards and east of the
wire mill is gradually being
added to. This material is not un.
loaded, but stands in hundreds OF
cars along the miles of sidetracks'
If the stock continues to increase
much longer it would seem that
the company's supply OF fuel cars
will become exhausted and it Will
be necessary to unload the coke
and coal on the ground along the
tracks.
A new track has just been put
in bv the c. & w. along the edge
of what is known as the converter
o;,der dunn lust north of Har-
lem. This enables the solid mass
of cinders when dumped from the
nots to roll to the bottom OF the
rayine without being handled a
second time by a labor gang
Much of the general yard work
about the plant has been greatly
expedited by laying OF new tracks
