Gold Mine Shaft
Is Being Pumped
At 192-Foot Maik
. ? ; '
Water continues in critically
short supply In Kings Mountain.
In spit* of curtailed consump
tion, the water level of the city
reservoir on "York Road continues
to decline at a rate of three
quarters per Inch per day, and
tiie city's main auxiliary source?
the Gold Mine ghaft supply ? is
delivering much less than its for-,
mer total of 400 gallons per
minute.
Mayor Glee A. Bridges said the
city was pumping the Gold Mine
shaft at the 192-foot deptn Wed
nesday, which Is only eight feet
from the bottom of the line. Ad
ditional plpte, on order, has not
yet been received, but the. Mayor
said he hoped It would arrive
Thursday.
However, there was some ques
tion as to the effectiveness of
lowering the pipe, since the flow
subsides with the increased load
of pulling the water to the top
of the shaft
Sunday and Monday showers
were of short duration and had
no (effect on. the city supply, and
sunny skies Wednesday offered
no ^aln prospects.
Both streams serving the York
Road reservoir are completely
dry, the Mayor said. He added that
the Davidson creek, whtere the
city is constructing an auxiliary
reservoir has a good flow but that
contractors building the new dam,
now 25-feet high, say tapping this
stream now would bring the dam
construction to a halt. The dam
specifications call for a height of
?0 feet, at a width of 300 leet at
the base, taplerlng to 40 feet at the
top. . ?...'W -.'-J ; ,-V.- W ;
