How they make a Cannon.

The Springfield Union says: The
preparations for making the new Hitch
cock guns at the water shops are going
on as rapidly as could be expected. The
big shaft which is. being sunk in the
northeast corner of the old drop-ham-
mer room. has reached thirty-seven feet
in depth and will be completed next
week. Fer a while the drilling and
blasting went along rapidly owing tothe
softness of the rock and the absence OF
the water, but when about twenty feet
below the surface the water began TO
nour in and a little further down the
rock changed TO a hard, grayish red,
conglomerate sandstone, exceedingly
difficult to work. Two small pumps
were mt in the remove water, and al
though they are run seven hours every
night. they prove incapable of carrying
off the water as fast as necessary
and their place viii be supplied, this
week. by a rotary pump, with capaci-
ty of $50 gallons per minute. As the
shaft has to be blasted fifteen feet in d.
ameter in the clear, the progress is ne
cessarily quite slow, and eight men have
heen enlployed at the work for nearly
three months. The drilling is all done
nv hand. the holes being about two feet
deem. The drilling is kept up from bell
time in the morning till noon, when five
blasts of one and half pounds of pow
der each are let off, one after the other,
and another series of blasts are fired at
four in the afternoon. Although the
firing is in a hole nearly forty feet deep,
there would be considerable danger TO
passers by and the workmen from flying
stone, were it not guarded against by
heavy covering of brush which is placed
over every drill-hole before firing. This
shaft, it viii be remembered from pre-
yious descriptions, is to contain the big
hydraulic press which forms the anvil
on which the gun will be forged, l. e.,
the steel rings of which it is composed
will be welded together by the blows
from the ten ton steam hammer over
head. AS each eight inch ring is added
to the gun, eight inches of water will be
let out of the press, and the gun viii OF
course drop that distance into the shaft.
Then when the forging is completed,
and the $4,000 pound monster is ready
for trimming and boring, it VIII be up,
ped over a little to one side, TO AVOID
| hitting the furnace and machinery at the
ton of the shaft and the water viii be
let into the press bringing the gun to
the surface.
