New Pumps are Lowered in
Deep Levels of
the Old Lode

| The new transformer for the aux
iltlary pumping plant at the c. & C.
hiatt arrived a few days ago from
the east, and yesterday was put in
! place on the 2350 pump station. It
has been found to work perfectly
an'i for the past two days has been
given a thorough testing out. No
flaws have appeared at this third
trial of the power and it is expected
that the new pumps on the 1850 and
22450 levels will be doing regular ser
vice within day or two. Today the
centrifugal pump on the 1850 has
been hung up for several hours at
intervals to make changes and alter
tons, but the difficulties are not
criOus and will soon be overcome.
There is no reason in sight now |
Why the big project of unwatcring
the mines at the northcnd to the
2650 level of the c. & c. cannot pro
ed rapidly and this long projected
Enterprise be carried out within
rw weeks. Its importance is amply
ealized by all who are following de
'clopmentS closely in the deep level
'lans of Ophir. Con. Virginia and
fexican and the recent decision to
'ress downward at once on the 2SCm
