A PoNTooN RIVER CROSSING.
of "A DrawbrIdge Across
the Mississipni.


Prairie du Chen. Wis. Janfi 25-The
new pontoon bHit here DURING the fail
was successfully launched and the cere-
mony was witnessed by about 1.SOG people.
At the signal given by A. d. Campbell,
who had the construction in charge, the
cables We're cut and tine large boat slid
majestically into the water over 100 feet
away.
This pontoon is 40S feet long, 40 feet
wide, feet deep. with height of about
30 feet, and has a draught OF y inches. 1t
Is the largest draw between Dubuque and
La Crosse. 1t was built OF fir which was
shipped from the State of Washington for
that purpose. The cost OF this great
structure is about $4,000 and force OF
over 100 men were employed for nearly
three months in its construction.
The pontoon has great buoyancy and
strength being provided with Howe
truss. passing through its entire length.
When trains pass over it the draft will
be increased 20 eighteen inches. The ex-
treme rise and fall of the Mississippi
River is twenty-onc feet, and to over
come the variation in height of the places
between the pile bridge to which the
pontoon is attached, aprons or movable
tracks have been provided which are ad-
justed by means of powerful hydraulic
jacks, and movable blocks which will be
operated by the men in charge of the
bridge The connection between the ends
of these aprons and the track of the
bridge is a simple device counterbal-
anced by equal weights SO one man can
clamp and unclamp the end of the pen
toon when swung in or out of position
The draw" is attached at one erd 10
piling forty feet from the end of the sta
tionary bridge by an arm as long as the
draw is wide. About this piling or
pivot. the draw will swing, describing
in it's course an arc Of Sc degrees. and
when open, lie at right angles to the
piIing and entirely out of the chanenl.
This draw was placed in the west chan
mel, new one being put in the east chan
mel a year ago. The draw openings of the
bridges in either channel are the only
ones in one section on the Mississippi
River which will permit steamer and
large raft to pass through. Other draws
swing half to one side and half to the
other.
The closing and opening of these pom
tocps Is effected by a twenty horse power
engine situated on the draw working
simple winch, around which is wound
chain. the extremities of which are secur-
ed to a cluster of pilings above and below
the pontoon so fixed as to give diagonal
lead across the stream. The bridges open
with the current in one minute and close
against the current in three minutes with
out showing any undue strain or requiring
The aDulication OF more than hVe-horse
power In relation to the passage OIL
trains it has proved to afford greater Sc
curfty than the old-style draw bridges. for
the pontoon IS capable of floating weight
six times greater than that of an ordinary
train.
