Within the next few days the Anal

corporation will have three shifts at
work in sinking at No. 1 shaft. Dur
ing the week the two pumps which
arrived recently were lowered into tn
mine and have been set on the cemen
foundations previously provided for

spectively. In addition to this, the
water tanks fer each plant were In
stalled. the steam and air pipes con-
nected up. while the new hoist is
also in operation.
An innovation, insofar as mining
in Phoebe is concerned is to be intro

by the installation of new electric
blasting mechanism, feature OF
which is to delay action in shooting.
That is to say, when any blasting is
done in the mine work, the explosion
of the various rounds does not occur
simultaneously, but the charges are
set off in rotation by which means
greater effectiveness is accomplished.
In sinking the shaft an 1S-hole round
