the many readers of your valuable paper

which does pretty well for water mill on

F0rty Miles or Darkness I'm .

Forty Miles OF Darkness I'm y
wooden Tunnel.
The wonderful wooden tunnels cover 10
miles Of the Central Pacific Railroad.
They were first suggested by Its practical
Vice President, Charles Crocker, but his
companions hesitated through fear OF i'm
practicability and expense. They are Of
two kinds. one Of very steep roofs and the
other with fiat roofs. They cost per mile
from s., 0o0 to $4,000. and in some places.
where heavy masonry is required. the cost
reached $4,000 mile. They are firmly
constructed to support the great weight
Of snow and resist the rush Of avalanches.
Fire precautio are also very thorough.
Corrugated plates Of iron separate the
buildings into sections, and in the great
10-mile shed there are automatic electric
fire alarms. At the Summit is an engine
and tank always ready to food the ignited
spot. These sheds shut in the view Of the
great Sierras, but without them Winter
travel would be impossible. Sometimes
five feet Of snow falls upon them in sin
gle day, and often 80 feet lie on the ground
at one time, and in many places snow ac-
cumulates to the depth Of 90 feet above
these great wooden arches.
