BRINGS BIG COMPRESSOR FOR READY BULLION MINE
O. H. Sleeper Arrives and Work on Copper Property Will Be Pushed by Machinery
O. H. Sleeper of the Ready Bullion copper property on Lynx creek came to Seward on the steamer Oregon bringing a forty horse power air compressor to drive the drills in the tunnel which the company is running to cross-cut the ledge. The compressor and other equipment were transferred to the Toledo to be taken to Sunrise.
The compressor will be driven by water power. A pipe line 4000 feet long was put in two years ago and carries a stream sufficient to drive heavy machinery. The pipe is eighteen inches in diameter at the intake, graduated to eight inches at the mine.
Hand work has been proceeding steadily in the tunnel all winter, spring and summer, under the direction of Superintendent Nate White.
When the compressor is installed, Mr. Sleeper says, ten feet per day can be driven.
