EUREKA DRILL DAMAGED

Nj. W. Sinclair, of Chute & Sinclair, the Eureka creek miners, started a- team to Fairbanks last Tuesday morn ing with the stem and bit of the big Star drilling machine with which they are boring for water at the head of that stream. The part was broken last week at 6 depth of 25 feet, just as bed rock was encountered, and as it was impossible for local mechanics to re- pair the damage, the long trip to Fair banks was necessary. The drill has al- ready bored one hole 175 feet deep, and a flow of half sluicehead of water is available from it. MT. Sinclair feels quite certain that he will have the nec- essary water for his operations when the four holes he contemplates drilling are completed. Two sizes of bits are used-8- and 6.inch- and with the ex- ception of this accident, the machine has been working quite satisfactorily. The piece which was sent to Fairbanks weighed nearly 1900 pounds, and the re- pairs can De made in day or two
