rrogitee f 6te Work View o Botk
Bid of tbe Utaalklai-TIti Coat statd
CbrrcqxmiJenee SprinctaJd JppMbZfoan,
The condition of the works at the east end
ia very satisfactory. The deficiency in tbe
supply of water has not been felt here at all
this year, and there has been a surplus even
At the diiest time this summer. Tiro turbine
Wheels are being put In, in addition to those
cow in use, which will give all the power that
can be desired. Colonel Crooker's steam
engine still lies under its temporary shed, and
the engineer does not propose to put it up
nntil tbe emergency of a failure of water from
drought or from anchor, ice actually oooura.
In either event, it can be set np very quickly
at the west end of the present "mill," in
whioh power is furnished for sawing, for the
lathes, etc., used in repairing, for oouiprassing
the air to drive the machine drills, a mile and
a half away, and lor ventilating the tunnel at
its furthest end.
The excavation at this end has readied the
total length of 6150 feet. Of this, however,
only 2500 feet is yet called tunnel, while the
remainder consists of a heading 1750 feet long,
with an average section of 1G by 7 feet, and a
further hi ading of DUO feet, wiiu a section 24
by 8. That is, while the mountain has been
penetrated 6150 feet, it will require the remo
val of 32,500 oubio yards of rook to bring this
out to lull tunnel size, so that the work done
is equal to a clear advance of about 4000 feet.
At the present time the heading is not being
Eubhed, and all the work is done on the eu
irgement. The entire force on the pay roll at
the east end consists only of about 123 men,
including those at the shops. The reduction
Las been made necessary by the limited appro
priation. The machine drills also have been
taken olT for thorough repair. On Monday
next the werk will be renewed on the head
ing with the whole force and with machine
drilling.
This east end is the most considerable part of
the work done. The distance penetrated is a
third greater than at all the other points, while
reckoning completed tunnel only, it furnishes
more than twice as much as all the others.
The estimate is to have the excavation con
tinued 5300 feet more from this side, making
the total length 10,450 feet, or vory nearly
two miles.
The plan pursued of late by the commis
sioners and engineers at first strikes one as of
questionable expediency; but I became fully
satisfied that it was judicious. It has been,
not to push the work just as fast and far as
possible before the contractors take hold, so as
to reduce the amouut to be done by them; but
While carrying on the work uuder the limited
appropriation, to do it with more than usual
care of machinery, and even to employ a part
of the labor in making thorough repairs at all
points, and getting everytning into good order
to leave. In consequence, tlie progress now
being made is not up to the average of past
Months; and I confess I was disappointed in
it. But refiection and observation convinced
me that it was the wisest and cheapest course.
The commonwealth will be able to make a bar
gain enough better with its contractors to pay
For the temporary delay. Machinery and tools
out of order are notoriously worth very little,
and even that wastes very fast. As the con
tractors will include in their estimates the
present condition of the machinery and ma
terial, it pays to have it all well kent no.
Everybody knows that the selling or letting
price of anything is enhanced by repairs very
much more than the coat of those repairs.
This work ha3 been done very effeotually by
the chief engineer, Mr. Frost. I saw iudica-.
tions at every point of vigorous and judicious
effort in this direction, and am satisfied that
the temporary falling oil in the rate of ad
vance will be more than compensated in the
result.
The central shaft remains as the sad accident
Of last October left it; aud standing above the
Btrange grave of those thirteen men buriod six
hundred feet deep, I realized, as never before,
the awful character of such a calamity. It
eeemed infinitely more terrible to be killed so
than under (Jod's Bunlight, and for something,
and with, perhaps, a chance for life. But
while the excavation has not progressed at all
for nearly ten months, the work of preparation
has not stood still. The forco here has been
reduced to twenty men, who had been getting
out timber, setting np machinery, replaoing
what was destroyed by the fire, and enlarging
the reservoir. The new building above the
shaft is some ten feet higher than the old one,
and diners from it somewhat in its shape and
uses. The Putnam machine works of Fitch
burg have just put in four new and efficient
boilers and also a pair of engines of fifty-horse
power, for lifting the stone and water from the
shaft. The old engine stands where it did, and
has been fixed np "as good as new." It is to
be applied hereafter solely to furnishing power
and ventilation.
This "central shaft" had been sunk to the
depth of 583 feet at the time of the fire. The
Chief Engineer proposes, during the present
1'iontb, to begin pumping irom it. ine water
can be taken out easily in a fortnight. Four
hundred and fifty feet remain to be worked
before it will be "down to grade" that is, t1)
the level of the road when tunnelling will
be begun east and west from it. The specifi
cations require that the contractor shall com
plete the (vertical) shaft ready to begin the
(horizontal) tunnel by the 1st of November,
18U9. This would require a higher rate of
progress than has yet been attained, but the
engineer deems it entirely practicable, with the
new drills and the use of nitro glycerine.
The central shaft furnishes the only exception
to the rule of a complete equipment for future
work. Some five or six thousand dollars'
worth of new machines would have to be put
In here by the contractor. At all other points
everything will be ready to go right on the
very day the contract begins. This is the
result of the overhauling which the commis
sioners and the engineers have made in every
part of the equipment. The contractors need
not estimate for any expense, or claim any
delay on the ground of machinery, buildings
or tools, exoept as above indicated. It will be
observed that it will be a year from next
November before the shaft will be
Bunk. Only then will the work begin
in the proper excavation of the tunnel.
We have looked in at the east end and seen
a hole running into the mountain 5150 feet.
Ooing np to the top of the mountain, we have
looked down a shaft 583 feet deep, with an
elliptical section 27 by 15 feet, which, when
pushed 450 feet further, will get the work
men down to the level of the Troy and Green
field Ilailroad, whence they will tunnel east
and west. We now go over nearly to the
other side of the mountain, where it beoomes
very low, and here the well shaft has been
sunk 348 feet deep. An engine of eighty
horse power furnishes ventilation, compresses
the air for the drills, and lifts the stone from
the shaft, as well as lets down an oooasional
reporter or tourist. At the bottom, the head
ings have been run east a little over 1500 feet,
with a height of 8 or 9 feet, and a width vary
ing from lt to 24. Going out to the end of
this, I witnessed for the first time the machine
drilling (suspended at the eastern end),
and blasting by nitroglycerine, which
lms been used only a lew days, but has
achieved a xn&iktxl puoieBS. It la prepared by
G. W. Mowbray 8t Co. on the spot, that Is,
above ground, and is brought down, a charge
at a time, as it is wanted. Tbe makers claim
that the danger of premature explosion in
ordinary nitro-glycerine is occasioned by a
decomposition resulting from being kept a
long time and carried a considerable distance,
and that when prepared on the spot and at
the time, it is less dangerous than pewder;
and I must say that, though at 11 rat a little
nervous at being in the same hole with that
far-famed fulminate, I was delighted with the
expedient. It certainly has a great superi
ority in its effects. The trouble with powder
is that it does not blow out the rock to the
depth of the hole drilled. Nitroglycerine is
like a regular old-fashioned turnkey for get
ting at "the root of things." It tears the
rock ont from the very bottom of the hole, and
so saves Just that amount of drilling. The
charges are all exploded at the west shaft by
electricity. The workmen draw baok the
drilling machine and their carriages be
hind rude but strong doors, placed 150
to 300 feet back, whon the electric spark is
excited, and a terriflo noise is succeeded by
tbe pattering of small stones and the grinding
of big ones on the heavy timbers. Returning
to the centre, we start west from the west
shaft. In 2U4 feet we arrive at a supplement
ary shaft running up 277 feet to the air, and
used solely for throwing out water. Still
farther west, CSS feet, is an auxiliary shaft
only 215 feet deep. Here is a smaller engine,
and the work to the west is now done wholly
through this shaft. Here the rock is soft and
will require arching all the way out to Far
ren's work at the extreme west end. The
whole extent of heading west from the west
Shaft is 1037 feet (about eight feet high),
making in all, east and west, 2550 feet on this
side of the mountain. We have now been
through the work to far as it is being done by
the State; but passing clear over the mountain
and facing about we see Farren's work.
Here was at one time the great trial of the
enterprise, even to its sanguine friends. This
is-the "demoralized rock" which gave so much
trouble. It is here that Mr. Bird's "porridge"
is seived up cold at all hours. General Haupt
began the work of tunnelling some 500 feet
still further west, but when he got along to
this point the whole slumped in, and that part
is now abandoned. It will be changed even
tually into an open cut, with no very great
depth, and at no great expense. From this
point inwards is Farren's work; and very
workmanlike it is. Considering the difficulties
of the material with which he dealt, his suc
cess has been very marked. lie has completed
a distance of 700 feet, and has pushed his
heading still further, nearly to the limit of his
contract, which is 931 feet from the entrance.
The enlargement, arching, etc., would neoes
saiily take much more time, and as Mr. Far
ren's contract allows him till Junel, 1809, to
finish, and as working slow is cheaper than
working fast, he will probably not anticipate
that time by many weeks.
Taking the actual distances of penetration,
irrespective of height and width, we have

out of 25,000 feet of tunnel and 1847 of shaft
projected total, 2l,47.
1 nave examined tne printed speculations
for the contracts carefully as possible, in the
light of this visit and all the information I
could gather. There were two things to be
provided for first, that the specifications shall
be strict enough to guard the interests of the
State, and second, that they shall not exact so
much as to repel contractors. The specifica
tions proposed by the engineers and adopted
by the Governor and Council, seem to have
secured the first pretty satisfactorily. Whether
they have secured the second can only be told
when the bids come la. The most important
question is the progress to be exaoted.
This is, at the east end, 75 feet per month
on tunnel enlargement, 75 feet on heading en
largement, and 125 feet on extension of full
size tunnel. At the central shaft it is required
that the shaft shall be sunk to the grade by
December 1, 1809, and that afterwards an ad
vance of SO feet shall be made in eaoh direc
tion of full-size tunnel per month. At the
west shaft the specifications appear to be little
loose. I find no requirement whatever in
regard to the monthly rate westward, or the
maximum time for making connection with
Farren; while the only stipulation in regard to
the work in the other direction is, that "the
contractor shall employ suitable foroe and
shall maintain after December 1, 1809, an
average rate eastward of monthly progress of
tunnel excavation to full size not less than 100
iet." "Why December I, 1809, is taken for a
beginning, iLere la nothing to explain.
Without going into details, it may be said
generally that the specifications propose that
the contractors shall take all tools and mate
rial at a valuation made by arbitration; shall
occupy the shops at a rent to be fixed before
haBd; and shall have the use, without charge,
of the water works at the east end, and of the
hoisting, pumping, and ventilating machinery
now at the shafts, being required to keep them
in repair and return them in order. Not much,
however, is to be expected from this source.
The State always comes off seoond best in such
bargains. The people will have reason to be
thankful if they once get the work done at a
reasonable price, without looking to very much
return from previous outlays. If the tunnel
is once completed, there will be no very careful
inquiry for odds and ends.
That is Just what is to be found out from
the bids. The proposals are to be made sepa
rately for twenty parts of the work, and the
cost of all must be added to make the sum,
which, by the terms of the law, cannot exceed
14,750,000. Mr. Latrobe, the consulting engi
neer, thinks the work can be done lor $3,000,-
000; Colonel Crocxer puts it at ?3,t)UU,uuu; Mr.
Fiancis, of Lowell, at $4,750,000, to include
everything, new machinery and the appraise
ment of the old.
