carried out a few years ago in the
way of filling in a large area of land
just under water and bringing it up
to a level of several feet above the wa
ter line. Large sand hills ranged along
the shore close by these hollows. The
work got into the hands of two old
California miners. who applied a modi-
lied hydraulic mining outfit to its exc
cution. They bought a couple of large
pumps, which delivered water from
the bay on the tops of the>sand hills
through an iron pipe, and then, by
means OF series of boxes anG sluices,
they carried the dirt and sand which
the water washed down from the hills
out to the spot to be filled. In this
way several acres of land were made
at an expense which was merely nom
1nal. The pumps and boiler were
practically worth as much after the
work was done as when they were
nrst purchased; handling of material
with additional cost there was none:
and the whole operation was complet-
ed III Il remarkably short space of
