Show New Motors Make ! Showing At Mine With two new pumps in operation opera-tion and another one to be installed in-stalled within a few days, to be ready for emergency demand, operations op-erations at the Lincoln mine are again proceeding smoothly after a period of inactivity except for surface improvement projects, to which Manager Louis A. Sanford turned his force of 15 men. A two-hour cessation o power was the first cause of trouble when, with the pumps stopped, the water rose from deep down where they were about to begin working on the ore body, flooding the working's and ruining both motors. A new motor was installed install-ed as soon as possible but it succumbed' suc-cumbed' by the burned out route to a 100-volt overload of the feed line which furnishes the mine with electricity. The two newly installed motors, working at approximate capacity of 2000 gallons of water a minute, could have lowered the water level to the proper depth in short order but, since it takes about so long anyway for the cracks and crevices crevic-es in the walls of this oldest mine in southern Utah to drain to a comfortable degree, the pumps have not been run at full capacity. Operations on the ore body are expected ex-pected to be possible within a few days, however, and it will not be long then before this mine can be added to the list of local shippers. A |
