4 DANGEROUS SURVEY.
Difficulties Encountered in the Grand
Canyon of the 'Gunnison.
[rroM ruE rR1RrNE RunEAr.l

TFRoN The TRIBUNE BUREAU.l
Washington, Aug. 15.-The experts of the Geo
logical Survey in following Up the preliminary
survey of the Grand Canyon of the Gunnison
with view to the construction of the six mile
irrigation tunnel already described in the
Tribune have encountered no few dangers and
obstacles. In the course of the Investigations
it became necessary that topographic survey
should be made of about 1,50o feet of the bot
tom of the Grand Canyon Of the Gunnison River.
a general survey Of this canyon was made last
year by parties connected with the Reclamation
Service, and the locality mentioned was selected
as the point for the location of the head of the
tunnel six miles in length, to be constructed for
the purpose of conducting water into the IN
compahgre Valley The canyon at this point is
approximately two thousand feet \ depth the
walls being sheer precpces. The water flows
very swiftly over the huge powders and through
narrow gorges and it is therefore impossible
particularly at high stages, to use boats or to
traverse the canyon longitudinally in any way
In order. therefore. TO obtain the topography of
this section it was necessary to descend into
the canyon over cliffs and through narrow fis-
sures in four different places.
The topography of the taus slope for about
six hundred feet on the south side of the river
was taken first by descending through narrow
fissure which, being of softer material than the
granite cliffs of which the walls are generally
composed. had in the process of time eroded
and made it possible for party 10 descend
The party then, by means of a detour of ap-
proximately $50 miles, came down a similar
assure on the opposite side of the river and OBJ
tanned the topography Of that side for about an
equal distance.
About twelve thousand feet further upstream
they were able to descend again to another short
talus slope, although the descent was extremely
perilous, il being necessary for the party at
times 10 descend over steep cliffs for several
hundred feet by means of ropes. on the OPP
posite side was another small talus slope which
was reached by similar descent after the re-
turn of the party to the south side.
There one small talus slope between the
extreme tTac cts already mentioned which it was
impossible for the party to reach with instTu-
ments. but one man descended this slope also
by means of ropes in order that he might set
signals for trangulaton. This dangerous piece
of work at last concluded however, 10 the
satisfaction of the chief of the party
The Uncompahgre Valley project is under the
general direction OF A. l. Fellows, district en-
gineer
