You had better consult him as to date. I have just been advised that there is no obligation on a. contractor to employ a certificated enginedriver to lower men down the shaft as a tunnel is not a mine, but a quarry ™j m t)>o provisions of the Stone Quarries Act. Ihe resident engineer at Christchurch will doubtlessly report on this point also."
