An aecident which win necessitate the closing down of the mill for several days occurred at tho De.ly West yesterday afternoon. The driving rod of the electric engine, whllo In motion, through some flaw In the steel, was broken, as was also the engine. As It will be necessary to send to New York to get th parts re- 1'ilred to repair the broken machinery there Is b strong possibility that the whole workings will be closed until the work of flxinc th engine is completed. It Is rumored that nn effort Is being made by the Ijaly West company to gel their electric power from the Ontario company, and If this can he done the mine will not be closed.
