KEEP-IT-DARK.
The erection ofthe new motor wheel w^s completed during the week, and on Tharsday last th* water was turned off for a trial run. Efei ything seemed to work well, but the spray from the jets was found to interfere with the driving belt, the moisture causing it to slip on the drum. Ten beads of stampers were kept going, and a shield having since be constructed to keep the l>elt dry, another five head were connected on Saturday, the i^teen working very smoothly. One 01! two little alterations are found to te still needed before the remaining five heads can be attached, but there fr every rsason to expect that the fu) strength of th c
batteries will be in operation by this evening or to-morrow.
