WORKING NIGHTS ON
 NEW PAPER MILL.
HustIins Work on West Wall of Main
 Building.

The desire on the part of the Bige- low Hartman Construction company to advance the building of the new mill in Uncasville as far as possible before severe frost comes is seen in the continuance this week of overtime work. On Wednesday night the con- crete mixer was operated until a late hour the material being used on the building of foundations for the west wall of the main building. Night was turned into day, the flare of numerous gasoline torches rendering progress on the construction as easy as during the daytime.
 A pile driver and lighter from the T. A. Scott company of New London put down a substantial dolphin on the north side of the mill site Wednesday, this being preparatory to other work on that part of the property. The Raymond Concrete Pile company is working it's three machines for all they are worth in the hope of closing the contract and getting off for the south before Christmas. Many of the work their homes in the south and want to spend the holiday there. During a few hours yesterday there was little difficulty obtaining water enough for the boilers, but this was obviated about 4 D. m., and plenty of water was had from that time on. The new supply will probably be coupled up to the pump very soon, after which no trouble is anticipated, although the low level of Oxoboxo is regretted.
 The system of water distribution is interesting. > From the main supply pipe, which is carried many hundred yards around through Haughton cove. the water is received at the mill, where the main pipe enters distributing box, from which issue numbers of small pipes and rubber tubes which convey the supply here and there to the engines, and boilers as they are moved up and down in the course of oper stions. There are seven boilers to be supplied constantly, in addition to which water is required for concrete mixing and other purposes.
 A remarkable feature of the work is that, notwithstanding sonic 200 men are employed, not one serious accident has occurred.
