workmen extend along the line, finishing up the
cuts and tunnels ready for track-laying, twenty

determined to have in running order this fall,

TUNNEL WORK,

The summit tunnel is worked from the east
and west ends and from shaft in the center to,
wards the east and towards the west making four
headings. The rock is granite. No timbering
is necessary. The west end has worked consid-
erably the easiest, although bothered with water.
Workmen broke through the facings and met in
this half several days since. Daylight is expec'
ted to meet in the eastern half within one week.
The shaft through which the headings are work
ed from the center is double, and ninety. one
feet Deep worked by an engine.
Four or five drills and fifteen men TO a shaft
employed in each heading, Shifts eight
hours each. The headings are worked only a
few feet in hight, forming the top of the tunnel.
The bottom is taken out more leisurely by large
gangs of workmen.
From ten to fifteen feet per week is the aver
age aivance made in each heading, although
near twenty feet has been attained. This rate,
even, is only attaiuable by the aid of

The Central Pacifo RaIlroad.

Our recent journey over the route has dispelled
all lingering doubts Of the ability Of the compa,
ny to keep the road open during the winter, with
less average delays than occur on the railroads
OF New England aud Western Atlantic States.
Most OF the route through the snow.belt il along
the mountain side, where the snow can be thrown
BY the plow down the embankment Another
portion comprises embankments and trestle-
work, where the Sow can be thrown down upon
either SIDE while the balance is principally
through tunnels and cuts, The latter gave the
principal trouble last year. Through these cuts
the company are now constructing coverings
with sides, appearing like covered bridges. The
tmbers are strong and well bracsd. The open.
ingsAre some fourteen feet wide by about 20 in
Ii. -ht A space is left between the timbeFs and
the sides Of the cuts, which will naturally fill
with snow and when the shed is imbedded in
SLOW, packed in at the sides, we do not see why
it will not form a solid fixture, not to be carried
away by snow-slides short of taking the side wall
with it. The grade itself adds, to the down
trsins, nearly double force to the power Of the
snow-plow.

THE GRADE.

The altitude of the summit is 7,O42 feet above
the level of the sea. The steepest grade is ll6
feet to the mile. For nine miles above Dutch
| Flat the ascent is at the above rate
, 1867-08-30

Ia hight, the tunnels are nineteen feet to the
crown of the arch, and sixteen feet wide in the
clear. One which we noticed near Cisco is on
an eight-degree curve through the hardest kind
of trap rock-s formation three to four miles in
extent, lying between two immense ranges Of
pure granite.
The summit of the grade is about fifteen miles
beyond Cisco, or ll2 miles east of Sacramento
Near the lower end of Donner Lake, four hun
dred feet beyond the highest grade, sloping to.
ward the Atlantic, is the summit tnnnei, 700
feet in length. Four hundred feet further east
is another tunnel of over 100 feet, and bevoud
that about 200 feet, third tunnel of 375 feet.
These tunnels are upon an air line and even
grade of one-tenth of foot to nine feet, and,
when completed, the eye can penetrate through
them all at one glance. The tunnels are desig-
mated by numbers, summit tunnel being enume,
rated the sixth. There are numerous other tun-
nels east of it.
