The PROGRESS OF THE WoRK.--we under
stand that last week the miners in tunnel No. 2
of the Washington Aqueduct, met This tunnel
is near the Great Falls, and is the seventh one
pierced in the construction of the Washington
Aqueduct; it is $50 feet in length
Four of the long tunnels yet remain unfn-
ished, and one short tunnel near the gate house
lately decided upon to replace deep rock cut,
has just been begun.
Upon the work, about 1000 hands are now
employed. The consumption of materials il
very great; OF cement, alone, about 1000 bar
rels week are being used. A large stock was
accumulated last Fall, which has supplied the
work thus far this Spring.
