The Hercules company has ! run a flume, built m ist'.y of Ore-'gon Ore-'gon pine, and 12,000 feet long, i from a point five miles above I the city to a cliff from which is I obtained .an almost perpendic-Iniarfall perpendic-Iniarfall of two hundred and twelve feet. A cross section of the water's actual flow is-, about 30 fe and. as the mean I velocity of the water is 12 feet a ! second, there is a flow of about i 360 second-feet, or 22. 550 pounds, i This with a fall of feet will i give 8.950 horsepower, theoretically. theoreti-cally. ' But as the flume is not fully taxed to its ca v. city and the wtaee.s work at a tout Bo per cent efficiency, the ad ual power i will not exceed 5,800 horsepower The water is conveyed to twin ulants of James Leffel water wheels by two four-foot steel, pipes, about four hundred feet , long.

In driving tne tunnel towards the main vein, which is a true fissure twenty feet wide at its outcrop, a small j cross fissure has been encountered encoun-tered which has ore running f -om 55 per cent to 79 per cent copper, 40 to 1C0 ounces silver and S3 gold to the ton. i This fissure runs directly towards the bi-veia and it is reasonably cer-' cer-' tufn that where the two intersect 1 high grade ore in commercial Lt-fur will be found. It is estimated that another 60 feet will tap the main vein. An effort is being made to open up a coal mine m this (county. A company has been ovjrar.ized, comprising vv. o. raridoson, I.
