DREDGERS WORKING AGAIN.
Outline of the Order I'm Which the Sec
lions VIII BE FILLED.

The dredger Anaconda, which has been
undergoing repairs was put TO work again
yesterday evening and as the Python was
already pumping. both dreGgers are now
discharging on what is known as section 6,
gust back of Foxs saw works. This section.
on which the new sluce box has been eff
fectively used, is nearly up TO the required
level. and Manager Horner stated yester-
day that il would he completed by tonight.
? The ali on that section has been heavy
one, averaging nearly nineteen feet, and
the work has been considerably impeded by
the washing OF the waves at high tide
against the temporary hay levees in which
the fill is enclosed. One who stands on the
edge OF the levee on the south side and
looks down nineteen feet to the water below
gets a fair realization of the amount of dirt
the big dredgers are bringing in.
After ALL said gentleman who was
looking on at the thick black stream yes
terday afternoon, this whole method is
only an imitation of natures process in
forming alluvial deposits, and it is all the
more successful because IL initiates nature
so closely. Now see the difference between
mans work and natures and he pointed
over TO where some laborers were mending
the levee with slow shovel heaping up but
a tiny mound at a TIME, while close by the
great food from the pipe line was spread
ing over an acre of ground sediment al
most imperceptible in its growth yet rising
steadily hour by hour.
With the completion of section 6. the COM
pany Will have filed in about twenty acres
up 10 grade. Work viii then begin on the
next section. No. Z, Immediately north Of
No. s. A great deal Of dirt has already been
deposited here by washing down from the
adjoining section, and Mr.. Horner stated
yesterday that IL could be completed in ten
days The next two sections northward. s
and Q, VIII then be taken up. and this Will
bring the work TO the northern limit at
King street.
The next section. No 10. lies south OF
Charles street. The plan OF work viii be
10 build a bulkhead from Charles street
south 10 the east waterway. about 200 feet.
and after filling in along the east line OF the
east waterway and the north line or the
canal there will be practically vast pond
enclosed. into which the dirt from the hill
can be placed Mr.. Horner states that the
precise method OF brinVng the dirt down
has not yet been decided on.
