The stoppage of these pumps lasted for ,3 days 18 hours, during which; time rthe water had accumulated for u^wartis of 200 feet in the shaft. The repairs to engine completed, the pump resumed operations, and at one breath, with ordinary strpke, lifted the whole of the water in 3 days 8 hours, men being; then sent to the bottom, and new buckets attached. The power of the engine, and capacity of the lifting column may be' 1 infered from the fact that during that time no less than twenty thousand .five hun? dred tons of water were raised' 600 feet. Sinking will now be resumed.
