although they were but drill-holes
and cracks in the rock, the men OF
the two gangs were conversing
through them. Our lamps, held at
the opening, were Immediately ex-
tinguished, so strong was the draft
from the end toward the shaft.
The progress made was satisfac-
tory so far as il went, but more was
necessary. We returned an hour
or two later, just as the last blast
was made, and fastening forward
to the junction we found that there
was hole about a foot in diameter
between the two sections. This
was speedily enlarged by hand
power, and at 4 o'clock precisely

owed, and then the east end recip-
rocated by sending up two of the
men of its gang, who proceeded to
he shaft, and were the first to
each the top of the mountain from
ne east end without ascending its
,lopc.
Although the engineers have not
yet had an opportunity to verify
their calculations by the result, it
IS certain that the error is scarcely
more than q foot either in grade or
in line, and it may prove TO be very
much less.
Another fact, which is likely to
have an important bearing on the
matter Of ventilation, after the tun-
mel is finished, is that the draft from
the eastern end into the central
shaft tunnel is SO strong that it can
only be likened to very powerful
wind.
The result of this days work
may be briefly stated: The pom
lerous pumps of the central shaft
may be Immediately abandoned,
and the water problem being solv-
Ell work may be begun on the west
helding of the central shaft, so that
on Oct. Is, 1873, if all goes well,
there viii be an opening through

The UOOsac Tunnel.

From the y. y. Times Dec IL.
The most important event in the
history of the Hoosac Tunnel took
place to-day. The heading from
the centre shaft met and effected
junction with the heading from the
east end, and the worlImcn have
passed through from one section TO
the other. This morning we de-
scended the central shaft, at about
half past ten o'clock, and q blast
was made from fourteen holes load
ed with nitro-glycerine. The whole
blast required eighty-four feet in
length of glycerine, or about sixty
three pounds, the largest quantity
ever used in the tunnel. 1t is pos
sible that this blast made breach
sufficient to let water through. At
any rate the water descended mys-
teriously from its former level. At
half past one o'clock q second
charge, equal in weight to the first,
was exploded, and we advanced to-
ward the heading. We were met,
at a distance Of 400 or 500 feet, 10y
returning workmen, who announc-
ed that a hole was through. We
proceeded in through choking,
binding smoke from the glycerine
discharge, to the heading, when,
sure enough, we found that COM
munication had been opened. Six
appertures had been made, and,

The Diamond SwindIc.

The great diamond swindle, Of
which so much has lately been said
in the papers, and which was ex-
posed only few weeks ago, has
taught a lesson-though to some a
dear-bought onc-which it is not
likely viii be soon forgotten. 1t
has taught the immense practical
value Of even a moderate knowl-
edge Of natural science. 1t has
shown to what grief q sharp trick,
played on the ignorance of the
most eminent business men, may
easily lead them. The diamonds
were nicely planted on Bishop

This he makes known in San Fran
cisco Just in time to prevent a swim
die almost unlimited in magnitude,
Geology is regarded by many as q
very beautiful and no doubt very
interesting science, but its real,
practical value to the business man
is to a very great extent overlooked.
If the wealthy men Of San Fran
cisco had employed good practi-
cal geologist at first they would not
have sunk their capital in this wild
yenturesome race for wealth and
would not have been obliged to suf-
fer extreme humiliation which is
now their lot. Only a few years
ago the State of California was saw
ed from monster wild speculation
in petroleum oil wells through the
timely interference of Prof. Whit
ney. Ahout the Same time n COM
pany in Toledo sunk in an oil well
some sl5, 1000 or SOC, 900, when Prof.
Wlnchell told them that their sunk
en- capital would never come up
again. One might as well bore for
oil on the top of Mt. Washington,
or in Alpena as at Toledo. There are
no oil bearing rocks below these
places, consequently no oil. Even
a novice in geologic science could,
blindfolded, readily tell from sin
gle well defined characteristic fos-
sill specimen from these outcrops
about Alpena, that neither oil nor
coal could be found anywhere in
this region. Hundreds Of speci-
mems of iron pyrites and copper
pyrites have been found about here
and have deceived many. They
are easily recognized. The former
is very hard and the latter readily
crumbles beneath the edge of the
knife, while gold, if pure, cuts like
wax. A few years ago man in
Ohio filed his cellar with this shin
ing substance and wasted his prop
erty in travelling about 20 get the
cheat tested. Another in Wiscon-
consin did the same thing. Cap
tain Hudson, the first explorer of
of the Hudson River, carried sew
eral s'liploads from British America
t. England and finally, the crew
having mutinied, he and his son
were cast of in small boat in the
middle Of the Atlantic, and lost. A
single drop of acid or scratch of q
knife might have revealed all this
folly but, like many others, he didn't
know it. If wealthy men would
use their money as lavishly IN
the promotion Of practical learn
ing and science as they often do in
a wild race for greater wealth, there
would be built up a community on
such solid basis Of productive in
dustry as to render diamond swim
dies" not only unnecessary but
quite impossible. .*.*.

The Alabama Claims,

New York, May 1.-The HerQlTs
W ashington special says: At a cabinet
meeting to-day the reply received from the
English Government in reference to the
negative principle of international law
which Mr.. Fish had brought himself to be
willing to accept rs a condition of our re-
treat, was read, and proved so exceedingly
unsatisfactory to this government that It ;
probable there will be no back down after
all, and that the position assumed by the
President in the beginning, that the ques-
ton of consequential damages is one for
the Geneva tribunal to settle, will be III
sisted upon.
NEW York, May 6.-The Times, in an
editorial on the Alabama claims. considers
the question in n very unfortunate position.
confesses its inability TO find any remedy
for the trouble, and queries whether the
removal OF Sec. Fish, which is demanded, IN
rome quarters, would afford a salution.
Ii his successor withdrew the indirect
claims, the partisan antagonists of the nd.
mlnistration would denouncc it before
backing down before John Bull. 1t was a
mistake to introduce the indirect claims,
but to withdraw them now is a very diff
cult matter. The Times, inquiring in
what direction lies the weight of
public opinion on the subject, concludes
as follows: "Public opinion on such a
question Is all important. No adininistra-
zion has rigk- TO disregard it, or could
stand up against the odium of disrerar ling
IL. We could wish the people would find
rome means of max ;ng known their desire
on this point. AT present we admit We see
no way out of the difficulty. SO far as
present appearances 60, it looks to US as if
the treaty must fall through; but no wise
and just effort to save il ought 10 be neg
lcted."
