masonry. of Illinois white brick. was eight
inches In thickness, the bricks being laiC
lengthwise. with toothing joints to give
them greater strength.
In this tedious way the workmen forced
the great bore on under the lake. from
fourteen to twenty feet being considered
good progress for twenty-four hours.
As fast as the masonry was completed
iron rails were laid. upon which small cars
were run to remove the clay to the shaft
where it was elevated by steam power. At
first the cars were pushed by men. but as
the bore heightened this became too slow
and laborious. and two small mules were
lowered through the shaft and used there
after as the motive power.
As each thousand feet was completed
chambers were dug in which brick. mortar.
and other supplies could be stored and cars
turned around.
As has been stated. the magnetic needle
cannot be depended upon in surveying be-
low the ground. but the level was in con-
stGnt use. and by its means exactly the
proper depth was constantly maintained
The tunnel was built with a slope of two
feet to the mile in the direction of the
shore. that it might be emptied in case OF
necessity. This was done few years ago
and the tunnel inspected by Chief En-
gineer. now Mayor Cregier. He found it to
be in perfect order, not a single crack or
break being visible.
But the most remarkable part of the I'M
dertaking was performed at the lake end OF
the tunnel The crib" was constructed
on shore. 1t is composed of huge timbers
bolted together. It is 401& feet high. in
pentagonal form, and nearly 100 feet in
diameter. It was built in three sections or
walls. one within the other. all SO bolted
together as to form one vast structure. At
the corners it was armed with iron plates
to protect it from floating ice, or any OBJ
ject in the water. Computed in board
measure" over 100000 feet Of lumber was
used. together with Is tons of iron bolts
and 800 bales Of oakum for calking. Be-
fore it was moved from the stocks where it
was built 100000 had been expended
upon it.
On July "a. 1865 this vast structure was
launched. and amid great excitement lowed
out to the place selected. There the COM
partments between the different sections
were filed with stone. and the crib sunk to
the bottom Of the lake. where it was firmly
secured by means Of marine mooring
screws. here used for the first time in
America
This accomplished. shaft was sunk like
the one on the shore and the work of tun.
neling was begun from the lake end of the
submarine bore. The entire length Of the
tunnel is 10.587 feet. of which about four
fifths was constructed from the shore end.

have seen. or may nope to see something
of It. brief history will not prove uninter-
esting.
The first public effort in the direction OF
a supply OF fresh water was on Nov. 10.
1884. when the Board of Trustees paid
$3.50 for digging well in the North Divis-
ion. We will soon see to what majestic
proportions this humble beginning has
grown in little more than half century.
For many years water was peddled
through the streets as potatoes and bananas
are to-day. 1t was drawn about in hogs
heads, on two-wheeled carts, and delivered
to the good housewives at cost of from
five to ten cents per barrel. according to
the competitions OF trade. The hogheads
were filed from the lake with pals. and
the water was discharged through short
leathern hose. Thousands OF people still
living in Chicago can remember when this
system was in vogue.
In 1886 the Chicago Hydraulic Company
was Incorporated by an act of the Legisla-
ture. The panic which swept over the
country the following year retarded the
movement, and it was not until 1910 that
work was actually begun. Two years later
consisted of an 1S-inch inlet from the lake.

horse power. capable of lifting each minute
25 barrels Of water IS feet above the level of
the lake: two reservoirs of a capacity of
IL
filed in one hour and forty minutes; and
several miles OF wooden pipes. none over
six inches in diameter. This exceedingly
modest system. as looked at to- day. was
spoken Of by the press at the time as a
marvellous achievement Of engineering
skill. In 1850. 81 miles Of pipe and 1000 hy-
drants were in use. but not more than one
NTH OF the people were thereby supplied
with water.
In 1851 the Chicago City Hydraulic Com
pany was incorporated. This was done as
the result OF popular vote of the people.
Bonds were issued and sold in New York,
and in the summer of 1852 work was begun
at the foot OF Chicago avenue. in the North
Division. They were unable to put in a
thirty-inch inlet pipe to reach six hundred
feet out into the lake and were Obliged to
take the water from near the shore. On
Feb. Is. 1854. water was first introduced
into the buildings of the city. For four
months water was only pumped nine hours
. day. and not at all on Sunday. except in
case of fire. In 1857 a twentv-four inch
wrought-iron main was laid to the West
Side. and in 1858 two new reservoirs with
q capacity of 10000 barrels each were
constructed. one on the North and one on
the West Side.
At first this system was fairly successful
but as the city increased in population and
extended its limits the increasing sewage
which flowed through the sluggish river
into the great lake began to seriously con-
taminate tho water. which was drawn from
q poirt too near the shore. Not only did
this cause annoyance. disease and death.
but 1t worked great injury to the fair fame
az the city, whose visitors denounced 1t

crib is sometimes contaminated by the
sewage, particularly when great stor ms
rage, and because it had become evident
that the two North Side tunnels would not
long supply the demands of the rapidly
growing city. The shore shaft is near the
foot of Twelfth street. two miles south oil
Chicago avenue. It will be four miles in
length and Is being constructed much like
the others, except that dynamite is en-
ployed to loosen the clay.
Up to the present time little more than
half mile has been constructed. For the
first $50 feet it is eight feet in diameter. AT
that distance it became necessary to fork it
out into two parallel tunnels six feet in
diameter. The engineers hope to be able
to unite them further on into the one eight
foot bore. but there is some uncertainty
about it.
It is expected that the entire four. mile
tunnel will be completed In year and a

An improved water supply thus became

both by the press and the people: Al man

and rejected. At length Mr.. E. 8. Ches-
brough. the City Engineer. originated the
length. beneath the bed of Lake Michigan,
which would literally tap the lake from the
bottom at that distance from the shore. and
through which pure water could be conveyed
to the reservoir of the city.
After good deal Of delay to secure sane
ton from Congress and the State Leg1sla-
ture.. and perfect the plans. the contract
was let. for what was. indeed. colossal
undertaking.
On St Patrick's Day. March II. 1864. the
first shovelful of earth was removed amid
ceremonies of an interesting and impress
sive character, and the great undertaking
was commenced. The shore shaft was sunk
on the side of the old pumping works. at
the east end of Chicago avenue. on the
shore Of the lake. 1t was made about 8
feet in diameter. and 69 feet In depth. This
was lined for 26 feet with cast-iron cylin-
der 9 feet in diameter and ~ inches in
thickness. below the cylinder the lining
being of brick.
With the completion OF the shaft began
that nice engineering which one of the ed
itors OF the London Times. then in Chi
cago. declared to be the greatest Of mod
ern times"
The point in the lake where the tunnel
should terminate had been determined and
marked with buoys. but the great difficulty
was to run it in exactly the right direction.
since the magnetic needle could not be re-
lied upon for surveying below the surface
of the lake. The only method Of proceed
ure was to run the axis Of the tunnel par
allel with line drawn over the top of the
shaft in exactly the right direction.
The work Of tunneling was now begun in
real earnest The width of the tunnel when
bricked up was to be. five feet and its height
five feet and two inches. the top and bot
tom arches being semi circles. with two
inches between. The space to be excavated
being limited. but two men could work at
one time; these were frequently relieved.
and the work kept up night and day. with
out cessation.
Close behind the miners with their picks
came the masons with their trowels. The

It was believed that the water supply thus

needs Of the city tor u generation at least.
but so enormous was the growth Of Chica-
go that within six years steps were taken
to increase Ii.
Early in 1872 the Board of Public Works
purchased ground at the intersection of
Blue Island and Ashland avenues, about
three miles south and more than two miles
west of the shore end OF the tunnel. where
they propose to erect new pumping works.
The supply Of water was to be procured by
means Of a tunnelrunning diaGonally across
the city to the foot of Chicago avenue.
This second great work was begun July
18th. 1874. and completed in two years. The
procedure was nearly the same as the first
tunnel. and need not be described. The
