UNITED PUMPING ASSOCIATION.
Measuring up took place yesterday. "During the past fortnight the contractor has sunk 10 feet in the main shaft, which is considered remarkably good progress, as the country is still very hard, and will be until the shaft passes through the immense quartz reef. The air shaft is down 85 feet from the 400 feet level. For communication with the cistern level, a distance of 20 feet has to be driven, when the air at the bottom will be as good as that on the 400 feet level.
