THE PUMPING ASSOCIATION.
Mr Errington reperts that tho pump rods are all down, and in position, and that the new plunger has being connected, and working smoothly. Men are now employed in taking out the old draw lift, which is now no longer required; the plunger doing the work. All that will then remain to be done, of the heavy work lately in hand, will be the construction of a duct, to carry the water from No. 2 column to the cistern of No. 1 plunger. The large logs of timber hare been lowered and fixed, without, tho slightest accident to men or the machinery; the different.pieces of the rod having been so) nicely fitted,.. that no hindrance was met in 'finally placing them. It will be some days yet before the shaftmen wi 1 have completed their work, so as to let the miners resume their underground labors. It is understood that immediate preparations will be made for the sinking of the main shaft a further depth of 100 or 200 feet, for other levels.
