ELKHORN ECHOES.. [Special Correspondence of ralt Aug.] ELKHORN, May 22.—The annual spring flood to which the Halter mine at Elkhorn has been subjected for several years is beginning .to make its appearance. It has not as yet become at all annoying, nor does it in any way impede the progress of the exten, Mon. of levels or mining of ore; still there is about double the amount of' weter being raised now than • there was a Mouth ago. . The pumps at the various..stations are raiei not far from 30,000 gallons per hour. Since' the shalt has been sunk to the 850 foot' level and the new double-oeting, duplex condensing Knowles pump lo- cated at- the 850 statical, the facilities for raising water have been greatly increased and . now the pumps at the various stations are' capable of raising a veritable river to the surface, should their capacity become at all taxed. Without using. any of the smaller pumps at all, the pumping capacity 'of the three large Knowles pumps situat- ed at the 550, 750, and 850 levels is such that it would be possible to throw 117,000 gallons of water per hour for a considetahle period of time, and by adding to this the anwent which could be raised by using a half dozen small- er ones the total amount can be coú. siderably increased. This may seem like a large amount of water to handle, but -last year on the 10th of July, when the greatest rush of water was observ- ed, it came in so rapidly that 'with all the pumping machinery of the mine working at its utmost speed, -some of tha pumps had abandone']; they could not be raised rapidlyeneugh . to keep out of the way of the rising water, and the incandescent lamps in the shaft were rapidly covered' and could be‘seen burning many feet be- low the surface of the water, throwing their lurid glimmer around. But eince a year ago numerous improve - \ments have been made and the mine is in five hundred percent better con- dition to withstand a flood than a yéar ago, much of which is due to the un- ' • g zeal and intrepid pernistenoe of the present ' . superintendent, Mr.. Pender. In order that there May be no lack of steam to enable the pumps to perform their best- work, all the old boilers have been put in the best repair and a battery of 'new boiler of large dimenitions hr been added to the five already e use at the hoist; and as the combined area of the three 1 e column pipes is about 220 square in es, it seems as though there need be no lack of steam to' force the water to the surface or lack of capacity in \ the pumps or column pipes. As for . the general 'working of the mine and mill, they are without doubt shipping a greater output now than at any time previous, *riz.: about 1,000 ounces of bullion per day. POETIC BEDFORD. [Special Correspondence of THE AGE.) When the soft breath of gyring goes forth Far o'er the mountains of the north How soon there wastes of dazzling snow With lire, and bloom, and twenty That queen poetess—Mrs. while penning the pretty \hymn for childhood\ \The Northern Spring\ may have sat in some pleatemt azbor, with nature's door wide tijar, and in- spired by the glorious surroundings. Iità-,souf utters those \thoughts that breathe\ in the above beautiful lines, and so the writer thotight when lie last sent you greeting: looked out upon the morn and caught 'the full expanse, thehroad valley, the swoop of the monntain side, from foot - 'hills to towering range, all aglow with the rich hues of ..spring,. we to felt something of that inspiration that sometimes becomes , transformed into \words that burn\ and the probability is. iln. \\ ifitbat stat of things had con- tinued to exist. a little longer, we should have made an effort to climb 'up into that poetical sphere whets elo- quence and elegance unite in the lau- dation of nature's glories. But, presto! and mark the change. Snowy clouds rolling along the ranges, radical at Inspheric changes high pressure, 'sudden low pressure, with clouds hid- ing the foothills, winter winds from the polar quarter, with raiu'and -hail badly mixed. We` have ee,t1 it now for days; overcoats are put on again. Old Baldy looks down upon us from the east side with that frigid, freezing stare, that nearly makes you shiver. The old fellow long ago adopted that good old hygienic rule of h.lth \keep the feet warm and the head cold\ for I am told by one who passed a night one July on his peak that he found great masses of ice that to all appear- ances never becomes melted. As you tula from Old Baldy and look to the south, seventy miles away, you see those Yeloerstone triplets, three pon- derous peaks. white and glistening, buried under heavy weight of snowy garments, reminder Drillose in Hag- gard's \King Solomon's Mines\. Whether they also have caves with frozen prospectors entombed therein I have never learned. But a look at their abrupt slopes from this safe dis-, tance is suggestive of the fact that to- logganing might be practised in that vicinity with results that would be astonishing to St. Paul racers. True, the grass no doubt is just as green and thé early flowers wear the same colors; the little streams from the mountains eieg-tate same eippline-aongs, aud-01 Missouri just lie* rushes ruthlessly along without interruption, yet none of these, like man, complain. . The farmer especially_my..friend, he loves pleasant weather, and if he could ar- range it himself, the stormy part.of it would all be done in the night, of course. We are not an attaché of the weather bureau, neither ar we a pro- phet, but to say we antj.tirpate lots of wefflie present season, will not incur the displeasure of even the pro- lsibtoiii0t _ Ile who never did the like befo skipping through the hi that buried bona perseverance.
