[Read before the Royal Society of N.S. Wales, November 1, 1893. | 
Wir reference to No. 1 Bore on this station I find that boring 
operations were first commenced on 4th November 1892, and it 
was completed by the 19th December following. Some delay was 
caused from want of cable, the estimated quantity is 1,500,000 
gallons per twenty-four hours, which gives, as well as I am able 
to calculate, about 1,040 gallons per minute.
