HoosAc TUNNEL MATrERs-A horse
and cart fell twenty feet down an en-
bankment at the Hoosac tunnel, but the
clay was moist where they struck and
no damage was DONE
The foundry and machine company at
Taunton have just completed a large
friction derrick, having two six-inch
drums, so arranged that one will hoist
while the other lowers, to be used for
sinking two shafts at the Hoosac tunnel.
At present only two gangs of laborers
can work at time, one at each end of
the tunnel but it is proposed to sink
two shafts at points intermediate be-
tween these ternini, so that the tunnel
will be divided into three short sections
instead of one long one, and these sec
lions be all excavated at once until they
meet in one.
The west shaft at the Hoosac tunnel
is now sunk about 800 feet, and the tenn
perature at the bottom during the warm
est day is thirty ave degrees. The depth
OF water in the mountain is nine feet,
and the engine employed at the shaft re.
