In some mountain locations, galleries have
been cut directly into the rock, tue eAh
Overlapping the roadway, and the line
being carried in q horizontal cut or niche IN
the solid wall. The Oroya and the Chimboto
railways in South America demanded con-
slant locations OF this character. Vt many
points it was necessary 10 suspend the per-
sons making the preliminary measurements
from tho cliff above The engineer VINO
made these locations tells the writer that on
the Oroya lines the galleries were often from
100 to 400 feet above the base Of the cliff and
were reached generally from above.
Rope ladders were used TO great adyan-
tage. One 81 feet long End one lOo feet long
covered tho usual practice, and were some
times spliced together. These ladders could
be rolled up and carried about on donkeys or
mules. When swung over the side OF a GILL
and secured at the top. aud when practicable
at the bottom, they formed very useful IN

made spread in water about four feet
deep. just outside of powerful current
The catch was made and he was seen 10
draw it towards him by fisherman near

torrent while yelling for help. Before
assistance reached him he was beneath a

him. The supposition is that he caught q
