Mr J. Bishop, consulting engineer to Brunner Collieries. Ltd., reports that since the continuous running of the pumping plant came into operation the water in the mine has lieeli lower ed 132 feet. For the first 100 feet pro gross was satisfactory, lait the rate is nut being maintained. The reduced rate i- attributed to a soakage Iron* the saturated country surrounding the sha.tts, which may lie entirely stopped alien access to the shafts is secured. Mr Bishop recommends adding sufficient power to enable the haling to he done from both shafts continuously. The cost of this addition may not he great, and it will save considerable time and enable the mine to he explored and the shafts put in working order much earlier. It may he found advisable to su.s]>end the present work for *i short time during the installation of the proposed additions, utilising the men in the erection of the auxiliary plant.
