A GRS\T TUNNEL,
The One Just Completed Under the
St. Clair River.
Ticondkroga, IT. Y. t Dec. 11.—St. Clair
river is the connecting link between Lakes
Huron and Ontario and lloats every year
a tonnage equal to, it not lu excess of, that
entering the harbor on New York city: and
it is also on this river that Detroit is located,
which is the terminus of many extensive
lines of railwoys from the north, west
and south. On the eastern shore of the St.
Clair river is the terminus of the
many Cauadian systems of railways, ar.d
for many years the presence of this large
body of water, interfering with the easy
trauspoi tation of heavy freight, bas been a
great hindrance, and men became tired of
using boats as a means of transferring tho
loaded cars; hence some other means was
necessary, nnd as bridging was not prac
ticable, tunneling was decided on and in
1880 the St. Clair Tunnel Company was
formed. Work was not begun for three
years, or until August, 18S'.t, audio August,
1896, or just one year from the time work
was begun on the tunnel, connection was
nindo between Canada and tho United
States under the St. Clair river and at the
end of the soco'd year. or on
Sept. 19, 1891, tho "entiro work
was finished and trains were sent through
the tunnel, marking the completion of one
of the greatest engineering feats of this re
markable ago. All who now go from our
eastern cities to Chicago by what is called
tho “North Shore Limited” pass through
this tunnel. The master mind in charge of
the construction of the tunnel was Joseph
Hobson of Guelph, Ont., Canada; and
while engineers familiar with such work
advised against undertaking the
scheme, almost without an exception,
he stood out advocating the building
of the tunnel, and it was eventually placed
in his hands and built after his own ideas
ana under his full charge; and what is
more remarkable, for less monev than it
was estimated to cost, and for such a great
undertaking, in a most remarkably short
time. The process used in the excavation
was the so-called Beach shield, an inven
tion of Alfred E. Beach of
New York city. Tho shield in
this caso being modified by Mr. Hobson to
suit the work ho had to do. This shield
was formed of steel plates 16 feet long, se
curely fastened together, each plato being
one inch thick. The plates thus fastened
together formed, what might be termed,
a large sharp edged pipe 21 feet 7 inches in
diameter. Two of these shields were
placed some fifty or more feet below the
surface of tho ground; oue on the Cana
dian side of the river and one on tho
American side. It was then the active
work began. Around tho edge of each of
these shields were placed at regular
intervals twenty-four hydraulic rams
eight inches iu diameter, with
24-inch stroke. Force was delivered
to these rams by a Worthington pump ca
pable of delivering a pressure of 5,000
pounds per square inch, or 3,000 tons when
all tweuty-four rams were all used at once,
though in practice only one-third of this
power was delivered on tho work. The
rams were so connected that they could bo
used separately or all at once as the work
seemed to require. The entire work was
carried on without any openings to tho
air except those at the ends
where the .shields entered, and it
quite remarkable in this respect. The tun
nel is 2,310 feet under the river, and with
the approaches at each end, is over 15,000
feet long; the entire length of the tunnel
being 6,050 feet; the balance of the distance
neing deep open cuts. Ventilation is ob
tained by two tubes, 20 inches in diameter,
through which air is forced by two laryo
blowi g fans. Lighting is by means < f
e ec ricny, and trains are taken through by
the i eaviest and most powerful loco
motives ever built. The 11- ing
th<> , t,|nnel is compose 1 of sog
oast iron, securely fastened to
r, which wore placed in position as the
work progressed; the usual air looks and
similar fixtures being dispensed with. The
work was estimated to cost *3,000.000, but
Ji *° bave h O6O completed for *2,500,-
000. The completion of this work marks
she joining of two parts of a railway ey*-
