The Great Work Of Chicago.

The city of Chicago is about completing
Il very great undertaking for the purpose
OF supplying its people with pure water
from Lake Michigan. The bolducss Of the
ENTERPRISE and the success which has at
tended its progress TO completion are quite
worthy Of admiration. When we remcm-
Der that thirty-six years ago the site now oc-
cupied by the great city, with its 215,oOo
inhabitants, was hamlet Of some thirty
pcople, iur traders, exclusive OF the little
garrison Of Fort Dearborn, the revolution
has the appearance Of fable. The sudden
growth there Of city with near 100000
inhabitants having become the greatest
grain market in the world, as well as the
greatest stock and provision market, is
without parallel in history.
The sewerage of this large city, with the
onal of numerous breweries, distillcries, and
sIauchtcr-houses in and about it, all dis
charged into the lake, seriously impaired
the quality Of the water near the shore,
from which the supply for the city was
drawn. 1t was found that, while the water
was thus affected near the shore, ont
in the lake short distance the water
remained always pure and clear. 1t was
determined TO tunnel the lake to distance
of two miles from the shore, in order TO
draw the supply from that point where the
water is never impure. A contract was
made with DULL & GowAN of Harrisburg,
to make the tunnel for the sum of 1915, l39.
! The work was begun on the 18th of March,
1864, and the two parties working, one
from the shore and the other from the lake
end of the tunnel, shook hands on the 9th
ultimo.
Bv boring it was found that beneath a
thin laycr Of sand there was stratum OF
tenacious blue clay 100 feet thick, which
was highly favorable for the work. The
plan was in three parts: the shore shaft,
the lake shaft, and the tunnel, which passes
from the bottom of the one to the bottom OF
the other. The shore shaft, built at the
edge of the lake, is seventy-seventeet deep :;
the first thirty feet is enclosed in iron cyl
indcrs. three in number, nine feet in dame
ter, two and a half inches thick, weighing
each 10000 pounds, or 10000 pounds ag-
gregatc. They are bolted strongly to each
other, and were sunk by digging the earth
away from the interior and under their
edges. The forty-seven feet below these
three cylinders is contracted to six feet,
lined with twelve inches of brick and
cement.
The tunnel commences at the bottom OF
the shore shaft, and extends straight out
into the lake two miles to the bottom OF
the lake shaft. The tunnel is nearly cir
Gle five feet in diameter, for which an ex-
cavation of seven feet was necessary, re-
curing the removal of $4,000 cubic yards
of earth. II is lined with bricks, laid In &C.
ment-4, OOO,O 900 of bricks being consumed
in the work. This tunnel is sixty-six feet
below the surface of the lake at the outer
shaft, and seventy feet below 1t at the
shore. So that the tunnel descends to-
ward the shore two feet per mile, by which
oil the wstes ip II may b pumped out p
