HONEYCOMBED.
Some Discoveries Rsade by
Workmen while ExcaVatiuE
for Sewers.

The engineer in charge of the sewers, Mr..
Anthony Ross, reports a rather startling
discovery, made by his force recently, while
excavatiug for An unusually deep sewer on
Clinton street, near the river. Under this
portion OF the bluff white ssud OF a fine
quality is found, which is much sought for
and highly esteemed by plasterers, 10 whom
it is essential when nice work is re-
quirsd. The prics paid for this
sand is high, enough 30 10 tempt sand.dig-
gera to risk $50 Gne, which is invariably
imposed whenever one OF them is captured.
This work has been going on for long time,
aud though considerably checked the past
few years, the most dangerous consequences
are likely 10 epsue. These strata of sand
reach for hundreds of feet under the tall
bluff, and it has been tunneled III come
places for a long distance from the river
bank. The portion over which the Gayoso
House stands has been honeycombed By
these tunnels to an alarming extent, and the
ground shakes good deal more under the
heavy weight Of a passing engine that it
seems necessary it should do. In laying the
sewers mentioned great deal OF extra labor
was required on account of these excava-
tions, and in many instances it Was necessary
to build props OF timber to sustain them.
Large cracks are to be seen in the bluff
further down the river, ard huge chunks Of
earth are constantly sloushIng off and
tunlbling into the edge Of the water.
