The work of surveying and pros
pecting for the new dam site is still be.
| ing carried on. A shaft was sunk 20
feet ON the island at u point opposite
and A little below the engine house but
no rock was struck. The drilling ma
chine has now been moved about 200
feet in northeasterly direction and n
new shaft is being sunk. According to
the engineers the fact that no rock was
found ON the first boring is not indica'
tive of the nature of the sub-soil. The
drill may have entered a pocket in the
ledge, and solid rock may lie within a
short distance in any direction. Sew
eral shafts will have 10 be sunk before
ANYTHING can be definitely stated
