The remarkable difference existing for the last few feet to what has hitherto been a hindrance deserves recording. The action of the water formerly was such that all malleable portions of the _ working gear were exposed to porrosion, occasioning their constant renewal; now the current of water has assumed the property or power of depositing a sediment of lime, which at one time was so heavy and threatened to choke the workings, but has been modified by the presence of a colder body of water, but still the sediment is a great inconvenience, and."
