Hauclanrt and , basca This job Ls full of interesting i operations. One that is supposed to be new in Canada is the sys-' tern of keeping the lake wjnr out of the tunnel. A long gradual ramp down was dug tu th: entrance to the tunnei was nut. This ramp is quite CiOse hi the lake and the water would seep through (verv rapidiyi and fino.i tne tunnel. Conventional pumpj weren't satisfactory as the ground had to tie deatered and hd to support the railway i.-stem bunging out the rock. The Stang well point system was introduced into Canadi an ! consists of a series of pipes driven into the ground on both sides of the ramp. The well points. I believe, were spaced about 18 inches apart and go Hi to 20 leet into the ground. They have a fine screen mesh on the end to keep out the dirt. They are then connected to a large pipe leading to jl pair of large centrifugal pumps. These pumps run continuously drawing the water out of the ground. In a matter of days the ground dried up. One pump is a spare but the pumping will continue till the tunnel is completed. Comethln; new was tried and proved succes-sful. A comparatively new, lightweight drill is being tried. This also ls proving successful, but that is an-, otner story. , WHO'S BAC K OF IT? K":r on Lazelle Avenue Just west "A the liquor store rge WALLACE'S DEPT. STORE The Dwss for JJ All-Year" Wear!
