WATER FALLING FROM THE ROOF OF THE
DEVELOPMENT TUNNEL.

ing much greater during most of the
year. The operations were carried on
by open cut and tunnel, starting in
about ten or twelve feet below the level
of the spring, and parallel to its prob
able underground course. When in at
a distance of about SO feet a cross-cut
and up-raisa was driven for the pur-
pose of intercepting and exploiting the
flow feeding the spring. The straight
tunnel was continued, gaining altogeth-
er a length of about 200 feet.
The straight tunnel was soon alto
gether in cinders, these cinders showed
some signs of bearing water, and if a
CLAY bottom could have been encoun-
tered, a flow of water would undoubt-
eddy have been developed that would
have been entirely independent of Po-
lipoli Spring. No results were obtained
from this tunnel. The upraise was
driven through the successive strata of
clay and cinders. One layer different
from those described above was en-
countered: This was a layer about two
feet thick of angular fragments of
stony lava, slightly fused together at
the points of contact. The upraise was
continued until the writer judged the
tunnel to be directly under the clay
bed supporting the Polipoli water, the
tunnel, however. being perfectly dry.
A tank was now built at the head of
the upraise, and a pipe line from this
tank connected with the surface cistern.
When all was ready the writer drove
a crow-bar about two feet into the roof
of the tunnel and was rewarded by an
Immediate flow of water. Some bag
ging was thrust into this hole and the
flow stopped, while about one-haf day
was spent in widening out the head of
the upraise to make permanent prep
arations TO receive the water.
The roof was then pierced in several
places and work discontinued.
The flow of water from the tunnel
had no apparent effect in diminishing
the surface flow, though this would GER
tainly result if the underground flow
was fully and properly developed.
There is now flowing into the Poll
poll cistern two streams of water, one
from the surface spring and one from
the tunnel During the dry weather
some months after the work at Poll
poll was discontinued the flow was
measured and showed an increase of
from 1000 to 1900 gallons over the mini
mum flow for dry weather.
The total cost of the actual labor ex-
pended on the Polipoli tunnel above de-
scrihad was less than $500, showing
that valuable results can sometimes be
obtained in this work with very little
expense. The writer's services were
donated in this case pro bono oublico

marine springs of fresh water along
Hawaiian coasts is so commonly known
as hardly to require mention; the fact
of the existence of these springs has
an important bearing on the subject

legislatures during the Monarchy, the
Republic and also under the Territorial
administration.
Very little has been done, however,
up to date, to improve this spring FOR
the benefit of the public. In June Of
this year the writer spent about ten
days at Po1ipoli Spring, conducting the
only development work that has ever
been done there. The formation as dis
closed by this work is interesting. The
surface above the spring is covered
with soil and erodedI material for a
depth of ten or twelve feet.

From these conditions are formed the
general theories and practices of water
development in volcanic regions. In
fact these are the general conditions
that govern in all countries. Artesian
water is simply the water that, owing
to. the conformation of the geological
strata, collects under pressure, in
percol ating medium, lying between inn
pervious strata.
In volcanic regions there also occur
pipes" and caverns caused by the
lava, which is poor conductor of heat
cooling and hardening around a central
core or pit. the lava still liquid and
flowing within. The liquid finally flow
ing out leaves a hollow tube or gallery
and the water collecting in these cavi-
ties is often carried for long distances,
sometimes bursting from the side of
cliff, from one of these tubes under

Carl WaIdeyer's Paper
On Tunneling for
a Supply.

The following paper was read last
evening at the meeting of the Honolulu.
Engineering Association, by Carl Wal
deyer, the engineer in charge of some
recent important work in connection
with water development on Maui
WATER DEVELOPMENT.
This discussion will be confined sole
ly to the subject of developing under
ground water by gravity tunnels.
JUDGMENTS.
The theory of water development,
as far as it is generally understood.
is very simple; there must be a ram
fall and an area of more or less ex-
tent formed of a porous material Ca
pable of absorbing water.
Underlying this porous formation
there must be a stratum or floor i'm
pervious to water, to prevent the wa
ter from percolating to impossible
depths.
WAILUKU TUNNELS.
Probably the best example of thl-
combination in it's simplest form is
shown in the conditions exposed in
lao Valley, by explorations conducted
by the writer several years ago.
When the lao river escaped from the
narrow confines of the upper lao Var
ley it encountered on the slopes the
softer volcanic tufa which later be-
came the fat cane lands of the Wal
luku Plantation. Here the river, ow
ing to the softer material encounter
ed, graved out the lower lao Valley.
The river, with a much larger flow
than at present, moving at intervals
from one side of the valley to the
other, deposited over the entire floor
of the valley its own we'll worn bowl
ders, sand and gravel. This river
gravel deposit now covers the valley
for an average depth of about thirty
feet, the underlying formation being
the same as the material eroded IN
forming the valley. CNote plate -. 4

He Should Make Good.

Telluride Journal: At Grand
Junction last Sunday evening, Rev.
J. A. Becker, a Congregational
preacher, made this statement from
the pulpit, according to the Senti-
mel of that city:
II have been reliably informed
that citizen of Grand Junction
has standing offer of premium
of SIS for any virtuous girl who
would be brought to him for pur-
poses of prostitution
Grand Junction owes it to the
good name of the community to in
vestigate such a charge. If her
limits contain such a wretch, he
should be made an example of when
his guilt is thoroughly established.
For ourselves, until evidence is pro-
duced, we shall continue in the be-
lief that the villianous charge is
manufactured for sensational pur-
poses to attract all attention that
the utterer lacks the merit to win
along legitimate lines.
The man making the statement
presumed to appear in Telluride
last winter in the Lyceum lecture
course before a good audience gath
cred under the impression that they
were to hear an eastern lecturer of
note. At the outset of his remarks
the speaker showed a distinct lean
ing to and sympathy for the social
istic and anarchistic elements that
had wrecked this community indus
trially, financially and socially.
There were not few demonstra-
tions in the audience, indicating
that a lecture along those lines was
not Just the thing in Telluride.
Not few were making prepare
lions to leave the opera house when
the lecturer suddenly changed the
trend of discourse, and the people
sat it out; but the result was not at
all pleasing and many were quite
indignant at having been deceived
when they discovered that, instead
of lecturer from the east, of repu.
tation and ability, very ordinary
preacher from Grand Junction had
essayed to supply the date.

August Weather.

According to the records of the To-

IL wears. the normal rainfall for Au-
gust is LOS inches, the greatest total
monthly precipitation for the year.
A second maximum usually occurs in
October. For the first 10 days of

0. GO inch. or o 90 inch below the ac-
cumulated amount that could be ex-
peoted during the period During
the years 1898, 1895, 1895, 1897. 1899,
and 1901 the total monthly amounts
exceeded one inch, and 2. "a inc' es fell
in 1895, 3 AZ inches in 1899 and 2.36
inches in 1901. In August, 1905,

During the present month to date.
