The cold storage is filled with ice to the ceiling, packed in thoroughly, making a block 27x21x20. Calling 45 cubic so-u a ton, there is not less than 250 tons. The ice house proper is also filled in good suapo, uuiUmy about 89 tons. This, if it keeps well, will last until ice comes again, but it is a question to be decided by trial as to its keeping qualtities, the ice being overlaid with frozen snow to the depth of three or four inches.
