INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
New Plan for Pumping Water fiom
the Clark Vein of the Von
Stoich Mine Shorter Route
to New York.
The Delaware and Hudson Canal
company has decided to make a change
in the method of taking water fiom
the Clink vein of tho Von Stoich mine.
Ninth Sviitnton. lleielofoie the water
has been pumped nut thiough the Von
Stoich openings, but it has been a&cer
talned that tho water can, with less
expense, owing to the dip of the vein,
be pumped out of the Leggett's Cieek
mine.
Acccidliigly aiiangement.j have been
made for diainlng thu water liom the
Clntit loin of the Von Storch into the
sump at the LegRett's Creek. To get
the water out ot the mine u laige
.Icansvllle pump will be erected which
will bi capable of tin owing 3,200 gal
lons of water a minute. The pump will
be one of the laigest in this section.
The loom for the pump is now be
ing constructed nnd It is supposed the
work of putting it in place will begin
tni" week.
