siphon is being installed to draw
the water from the Russell mine near
Ell Dorado by o. Rumble, the man
ager, which presents an interesting
scientific question, that will probably
be answered by the result. The mine
is situated at an altitude of 1000
feet. and the shaft TIC be unwatered is
105 feet deep. There is fall of 200
feet down the mountain side into
which the siphon pipe is to empty.
The total length of the outside pipe
is $50 feet. The question to be de-
monstrated is whether the siphon Will
draw the water from the bottom of
the los foot shaft. 1t looks a little
doubtful to us. Prospect.
