William Williams, 1 on his return from the Cerro de 

 Pasco Mines, states : 



" On the 3rd March, 1872, 1 saw in Yauricocha Mine two of 

 Mr. Trevithick's engines at work; one of them was a horizontal 

 12-inch open-top cylinder pumping engine, about a 4-feet stroke ; 

 there were two fly-wheels about 10 feet diameter and a cog- 

 wheel 7 feet diameter, giving motion to two wrought-iron beams 

 working a 10-inch pump bucket. The other was a 12-inch
