Hoosier Hydraulic
" Down To Work
The Hoosier Hydraulic Company’s
big plant is now running in first-class
shape. The heavy rains in the divides,
amountiug to almost cloud bursts, have
furnished abundance of water, and in
few weeks pay can be shovelled in. On
account of the recent dry spell, little
headway could be made and the work
ing force curtailed. From now on, or
as long as the water will admit, a full
crew will be employed and operations
vigorously pushed. .
Jack Welsh came in from Hoosier
yesterday and reported that enough
water wrs pouring down that creek to
run a dozen giants and as many ' elfeva
tors. * ***’’ T'i.. ink'll- *i A *.-2 *■ h
