UORK ON IHE CaSCIDE Tunnel.
Trains viii be Running Through the Noun

The Cascade tunnel Of the Great Northern.
one Of the great railroad tunnels Of the west. is
rapidly nearing completion. The tunnel viii
be 1928 feet in length, and its cost will eN-
coed $4,000. 900.
This tunnel has been excavated at a point
where the Cascade range is the highest, and
the distance from the roof of the tunnel to the
pinnacle Of the mountain through which it
runs Is 1900 feet. The contractor, have
broken all records for tunnelIing. Work was
begun in January. 1887, and by Oct. | next the
tunnel will be turned over 10 the Grenf North
ern fully completed. It viii take about thirty
days to lay the track and get trains running
after the tunnel is finished.
The contractors are now working two camps.
one nj each end. Wellington il the western
end and Cascade the eastern. On Jan. | the
tunnelling had progressed I 100 feet on the
Wellington end and 1900 feet on the Cascade
end. This leaves 5.253 feet yet to be- com.
pleted. Seven hundred and ffty men in all are
employed, and are driving about ten feet a day
on each end. The men are worked in three
shifts OF eight hours each. and fourteen drills
are employed hy each crew. The tunnel will

about one hun red and fity are employed at
the concrete work and about nifty engineers
and helper rs are engaged.
During November. 527 feet N rock was cut
from this tunnel. which beats the worlds tun-
mel driving record, made nj Stampede. on the
Northern Pacific, BY two feet. The best weeks
work was seventy-six feet. which also Ia the
record. The rock In the Cascade tunnel Is un-
usually hard aud uniform throughout the en-
tire length az the tunnel. which was not the
