I2II0I SIGNED
Mayor Low Makes Legal
Grant to the New York
and New Jersey
Railroad Co.
HOW The BORING IS DONE.
Sections From Each Side Will
Meet Under the River
Dimensions of the I'm
dertaking.

Yesterday afternoon Mayor Seth Low,
of New York, signed the franchise per-
mitting the New York and Jersey Rail-
road Company to, enter Manhattan with
their tunnel from Jersey City. This is
the tunnel through which the North
Jersey Street Railway Company's car
will pass through
When it is completed it will consist
of two tubes, side by side, running under
the river from the foot of Fifteenth
street, this city, to the foot of Morton
street, in New York.
Active work has been carried Oh since
April 26 last, on the north tunnel, but.
is now almost at standstill. The en-
gineers have struck ledge of rock 200
feet beyond the end of the French line
pier at the foot of Morton street 1t is
feared that this rock will cause delay
of two months and an extra expendi-
~ture of $2Oc,O0O
TUNNEL DIMENSIONS.
The tunnel will be $3.50 feet long
from shore to shore, and at it's lowest
point 1O2 feet below mean high water.
The rivers bed rock is below it and a
deep stratum of mud is above and around
it. Since the resumption of work last
April $50 feet have been added to the
length of the tunnel, which now
stretches 1920 feet from the New Jersey
shore.
SECTIONS TO MEET UNDER
RIVER
Years ago a section of the tunnel
about two hundred feet long was built
from the New York Shore The engin-
GERS, Jacobs & Davis, are seeking to
strike the end of the New York section
with the end of tie section now build
ing from Jersey,
HOW THE WORK IS DONE.
The work is carried on by means of
a big shield or tube twenty feet in
diameter with sharp edges for cutting
into the mud. A few feet from the cut
ting edge is "a steel head in which are
nine dooors. Around the edge of the
shield are sixteen hydraulic jacks which
force the shield ahead in the mud. When
s the doors in the steel head are open the
lQuu COMES through Iu61n duu IS SuONel16u
into carts, which mules drag along a
miniature railroad to the shaft The
mud is carried to the surface by an
elevator and is used to fill in swamp
lands
When the shield is about three feet
ahead of the completed portion of the
tunnel. the hydraulic jacks are released
and another section Of the tunnel proper
is built The construction of a new sec
tion of the tunnel consists in placing and
riveting of steel plates against the earth
sides.
HAS COST MANY LIVES.
Millions have been sunk in this tunnel,
the completion of which is now in close
view. There have been several accidents
that have cost human life. The first was
nearly twenty years ago, on July 21,
1883. The failude to detect leak led to.
the flooding of the bore, causing the
death of twenty-one men.
Mr.. E. #. c. Young, who is director
Of the company, said this morning that
he hoped toSsee cars running through it
within a year
