A Mile Under a Mountain.

The tunnel through the Hoosac Noun
tain, in Massachusetts,, is now more than
mile in length, and after numerous delays
and litigatOns the work is again making
good progress. \ correspondent of the
Rochester IN. " Union writes an inter-
esting account of trip through the tunnel
in the last week of July. He says:
" Before entering the mountain we ex-
amined the works at the rivers side by
which the tunnel is making its way toward
North Adams. We found, in building
called the Compressor House, four
immense alr-condensing machines, each
working four cylinders, by which air is
driven through a pipe more than a mile
into the tunnel, and there made to do the
work OF steam in drilling the rock at the
{ heading, as the remote end of the tunnel
is called, Such a wheeling, putting and
groaning you never heard air make. And
no wonder. 1t was obliged to be crowded
into an Immense number of atmospheres,
and made to travel 500 feet through an
eight-inch pipe, and jerk and twist steel
drill into q vein of quartz rock almost as
hard as adamant. 1t labored very severe
ly to do this work, so when we get our
short trunk line from Rochester to Boston
we cannot be too grateful to the vigorous
air winch gives us the Hoosac tunnel.
We must also thank Deerfield river, which
is all used up in working the compressors
More thoroughly is it absorbed by the ca
nal from the dam above the tunnel than is
