The most satisfactory results have so
far been obtained in sinking for a water
supply in the ravine west of the Ram
sey-Comstock shaft. Three shifts were
put on and managed to get the well

water became so great 1t was impossi-

consequence the miners have been laid

mence sinking with a full force and will
sink deep enough TO insure an ample
supply for the mill.
