The band and those who accompani-

We learn the following facts from a
report of the last inspecting party. 1t
! is thought that, from the magnitude Of
the work TO be done OH the approaches
the tunnel will not be ready for use be-
! fore next May or June. 1t required
six months to dig the pit from whence
the tunneling began; SO that far esti-
mate may be made OF the length OF
| time necessary to grade this back so
| that the slope shall not exceed 80 feet
| TO the mile. This means that the ap.
proaches will have to be about u mile
long OH the American side and even
| longer on the Canadian side. The big
tube itself is made up Of segments OF
iron one foot thick, feet 6 inches long
and 18 inches wide. Thirteen Of these
are necessary to make one ring Of the
tube. There are 1852 of these rings in
the tunnel, which make in all 52,42S
pieces of steel in the lining.
