The Foils of .Ant Anthony
The mill seats on the Mbaisaippi river,
at Minneapolis and at Bt. Anthony, are
arranged according to a novel device in
hydraulic engiieering. The bluffs of the
Mississippi are composed of a stratum
fourteen feet thick of limestone, support.
ed by a layer of soft white friable laud
stone. As the result of this formation,
the Falls of Bt. Anthony have changed
greatly within the last sixteen years. In
1854, the natural dam at this point was
formed by a rocky ridge sixteen to
eighteen feet high, and the stream below
I was Wed with Immense blocks of lime.
r stone, which had fallen down from the
ridge and the bluffs by reason of the
washing out of the sandstone. This work
of undercutting the limestone rock, bas
been going on continuously, and the
dam has been retreating up the stream.
In order to prevent the Author destruc
tion of the falls, the people of the town of
Minneapolis on the west bank, have
cominenceebuilding an expensive pro.
testing apron across the face of the Falls,
and to facilitate the work a temporary
side dam has been constructed with a
sluice, which carries off tke water in nudg
ing rapids, leaving the ridge of ,the na.
tariff fall dry. East of this ridge is an
island dividing the main stream from the .
Mao fall on the east bank. •
The Mississippi river at this point has
a descent of 70 feet to the mile, and fur.
Wilma water power in great abundance.
The water is supplied to the mills by ea•
lab fed from above the dams and the tail
rates for the discharge of the water after
it has passed tha.mill-wheels, are con
structed, on a novel and Ingenious plan.
A well or shaft is sunk through the over
lying earth and limestone down ' tho
sandstone, and a tunnel is excavated to
the river bank below the falls. The sand
stone, it is asserted, yields as readily es
sand to the picks of the workmen, and
tunnels several hundred feet .in length
have been constructed. The shaft serves
u • water wheel pit. This description,
the main points of which are are taken
from the Atlanfie Monthly for Muck, ex
plains the hitherto unintelligible dispatch
received last summer in reference to the
tunnel which was excavating beneath the
limestone bed of the Mississippi river he•
low the fall, for the Impose of opening a
water power for Nicollet Island. The
workmen struck a fissure , in the lime
stone rock, . and. the Mississippi Acorn.
muted dischareng through the tunnel,
and threatened to.destroy the falls of Et.
Anthony. The vigorous and protract;
