INDUSTRIAL
AND LABOR
GREAT TUNNEL UNDER CHICA
GO STREETS.
r
It Is Being Constructed by a Com
pany In Which Scranton Capital
ists Are Greatly Interested Pri
mary Object of the Tunnel Is to
Place Under-Ground the Wires of
the Illinois Telephone and Tele
graph Company The D. , & W.
Board for Today.
A recent number oC the' Electrical
World and Knglnecr contained an Illus
trated article on the tunnel under
ChlcnBO streets which Is being: built by
ti company In which Scranton capital
Is largely Interested. The article in
question follows:
"One of the most daring financial and
engineering undertakings of the decade
Is the underground tunnel system now
being constructed under Chicago's prin
cipal streets by the Illinois Telephone
& Telegraph company, u corporation
whose officers promise within a short
time to give Chicago an Independent
telephone exchange In opposition to the
Chicago Telephone company. This tun
nel, which Is to serve the purpose of a
conduit for wires, has already been ex
cavated under mote thnn C miles of
streets, and It Is expected to put It
under every street In the city where
underground telephone wires will be
reeded. Trunk tunnels with branches
will be run out from the business center
to the various sides of the city. The
tunnels are 40 feet below the surface,
and of concrete arch construction.
"The main or trunk tunnels are four
teen feet high and twelve feet wide.
The lateral or branch tunnels are eight
feet high and G feet wide. This gives
ufllcient room to not only hold nil the
telephone wires of the company and
underground wires of other companies,
but to provide for the operation of cars
through the tunnel for hauling malls
and handling freight. The first object,
however, Is to provide ample facilities
for running underground wires for the
new telephone service. All of the work
lias been done without Interfering with
the surface of the street. Shaft houses
can be found at various places on the
streets, and but for these and the loads
of blue clay which come up through
them to the surface there Is no evidence
on the bui face that such extensive un
derground work Is being carried on.
In starting the work, entrance to the
underground system was made through
the shaft houses, and in some cases
through basements.
"At the present time, however, work
has advanced far enough so that in
stead of bringing dirt to the surface
through the shaft houses and teaming It
away from there. It Is all hauled In
dump cars by mules through the tunnel
to the opening on the river at Congress
strcet.Therc it is dumped onto scows
and towed away down the river. Com
pressed air pressure of 7 lbs. is kept on
the tunnel during excavation. After
the cement grouting has been put In
52 inches thick an nlr presure of 24
lbs Is put on. At street intersections,
one of which is shown, steel girders are
put In to carry the weight. The Inter
sections are arranged to permit the pas
sage of cars or wires In any direction.
It Is stnted that over $3,000,000 has been
expended on tunnels and other work,
with $7,000,000 more yet to go In.
"The president of the Illinois Tele
phone & Telegraph company is A. G.
Vyheeler, best known in the electrical
field through his prominent connection
with early underground trolley work.
The company is backed by C. D. Simp
son and T. H. Watklns, of Scranton.Pa.:
B. Russell, of Wllkes-Bnrro, Pa., and
C. B. Eddy, of Almagonlo, N. M. This
is the Simpson & Watkins syndicate
which has extensive fuel and railroad
interests In Colorado and New Mexico,
and in the anthracite coal region of
Pennsylvania. J. B. Russell & Co. are
fiscal agents of the company.
"All of the operations of the com
pany have been carried on in an un
ostentatious manner, and little has
been known of the work in financial or
engineering circles, but it surpasses in
magnitude of conception anything of a,
similar nature ever undertaken. Much
criticism has of course been offered,
but the ofllcers nre confident that they
nre working on tho right lines. If the
plans all work out as contemplated, it
will cause a general revolution of pres
ent ideas ns to the limitations of tele
phone service.
"This company, through its ofllcers,
controls the patents of tho Strowger
automatic telephone exchange switch
board, and will Uhe the Strowger auto
matic system in the mammoth Chicago
exchange. Work on tho apparatus for
this exchange is now in progress In the
Chicago factory of the Automatic Elec
tric company. It is announced that a
telephone Instrument will be placed in
every responsible business ofllce, and
that charges wll bo made on a meter
basis of C cents a call, except that all
calls in excess of $S3 a year will be free,
making tho maximum possible yearly
rnto $83. The progress of the company
with Its great undertaking nlong radical
lines Is, of course, being watched with
tho keenest Interest not only in Chica
go, but by telephonists throughout the
entire country."

This and That.
The Lackawanna Steel company Is
erecting nt Buffalo Immense coke ovens
to manufacture coke, ammonia, tar,
and pitch from soft coal, There will be 23
batteries, 200 feet long, each containing
68 ovens, and five and one-half years
will bo required to complete the work.
The American Car and Foundry com
pany, It Is said Intends to build a new
steel car plant at Berwick", Pa., that
wilt be practically a duplicate of the
plant recently completed ut Detroit.
All machine tools will be electrically
driven. The main car erecting and enr
press shop will be 730 feet long nnd 185
feet wide Tho plant wll have a capa
city at the outset of about 20 steel curs
per day. The contract for the buildings
has been awarded to the American
Bridge company and Westlnghouse,
Church, Kerr & company will attend
to the engineering details. The com
pany's eastern offices are at 25 Broad
street, New York.
The Pressed Steel Car company, of
Pittsburgh, Pa., states that the com
pany's output of pressed steel cars up
to March 27, 1002, aggregated over C0,
000 finished cars, or sufficient to make
a solid train 3C0 miles long. Tho cars
built by the company have made grpat
changes In methods of freight trans
portation, being much lighter In pro
portion to the carrying capacity than
the old style wood cars in use prior to
1S97. The old works of the company are
pushed to their fullest extent, deliver
ing over 100 finished cars per day, In ad
dition to a large number of trucks,
bolsters, center plates and other pressed
steel specialties for wooden and steel
cars.

The financial sllujtioit is sound and generally
satisfactory. Desirable investments are in ciy
good demand and exceedingly scarce, ccn at
present high lecl. The most questionable point
In tho stock market is among the industrials.
The future of this branch of the market is not
piomislng. The day of reckoning, liquidation
and reorganization must coino. General business
continues in good condition. High wartes are
promoting active consumption in nil lines of
manufactured gods; and, as distributors through
out the country appear to bo carrying Mnall
stocks, the piojpect is for a good spring trade.
Very hoon the (rop outlook will be a factor; and
the indications are that high prices will encour
age a laiger acreage for com and cotton if not
fur wheat also, llountifiil haru-sts would cer
tainly insure us another jcar of prosperity.

troller Abel I. Cuher and Chief Kngincer James
MacMartin, who have been making an official ex
amination of the Chatcaugay railroad with a
lew of changing it from a narrow to a standard
guagc road, hao completed their work and will
report that it is entirely feasible to make the
change. The work of making it ntandard gauge
will be commenced at once. The Cliatr.iue.iy

bers. One of the hosts, who had extensile min
ing Interests, presented Mr. Uoseamp with some
fctock in a mine that had been abandoned, the
matter being regarded at tho time as a joke,

been reopened, a vein of gold discovered and lie
had been offered $100,000 for liU stock.

THE MARKETS
Wall Street Review.
New York, April 8.-The etlfrl of yesltrdiy'i
Hurry In tho money market was dissipated today
and an aggressive leadership wis dee eloped on
the recovery In stocks. The re-assurance of the
speculative clement was not immediate this
morning and there was considerable wavering and
uncertainty In the early movement of prices, in
fact there was not much In the. market un'to noon
outeido of the pcnlstrnt absorption of Louisville
ana Nashville and the sharp advance in Amal
gamated Copper, apparently a continuation of
j-cUorday' movement. Louisville and Kaehvllle
proed the central figure of the market and Its
aggTcaslvo advance was the dominating factor In
the broadening demand for stocks. The dealings
in ino scock were on an enormous scale, and
there were Indications that tho western contln
Rent of speculators was reinforced on the buying
side by a well known operator who only recently
returned from a long trip to recuperate hts health.
The explanations offered for the rise were mostly
In the nature of surmises on the pjrt of specula
tors. The reported acquisition of the Atlanta,
Knowllle and Northern rallwoy war. believed to
be the preliminary to active Incursion Into; new
territory. Illinois Central and Southern Hallway
preferred were benefitted by sympathy. The move
ment spread Into the southwestern stocks and St.
Paul, but Union Pacific, Southern Pacltlo nnd
Atchison were 'little affected by the movement.
There was a general movement in the Vander
blltt of from 1 to 3 points and a large number of
minor Mocks, of which the Wisconsin Central
stocks were mewt conspicuous, were vigorously
advanced. Tho Hit of minor Industrials affected
was bImj as large as has recently been the' rule.
The Westlnghouse Klecttlc stocks made sensation
al advances of 11 ',4 for the common and 15 for
the first preferred on the ftrength of analogy
with the history of General Electric. The whole
market gave way on tho pront-taklng which de
veloprd in the last hour and the principal ac
tive stocks were carried back from 1 to 2 points.
The market closed easy. Total sales today, 715,
400 Eharoi.
The Central of Georgia Income bonds were the
features of the bond market at advances of from
2 to 3!S per cent. The Green Hay and Western
B's were nNo strong nnd active. Otherwise the
bond market was rather quiet but firm. Total
sates, par enlue, (3.770,000. United States bonds
were all unchanged on the last call.
