TEARS OUT SOLID ROCK.
Mighty Dredge at Buffalo, Said to Be
Most Powerful in the World

The Susquehanna Iron comDany's big
plant will be in operation within thirty
days. 1t has been finished and the great
furnaces are ready for the ore The stu
pendous task of digging Il canal or inland
harbor nearly mile iii length from the
new outer harbor to the company's plant
Is now in progress. This canal is 10 be

That is to say, it is To be twcntv-thrce

twenty-three feet below the mean level
or the lake, so that in some places the
excavation is to he forty feet in depth.
That's quite a hole to dig in the ground
a mile long, but the Buffalo Dredging
company expects to dig it and build solid

1t requires great engineering skill and

to accomplish such a task. There are

nearly half of it through the solid rock.
Steam power and compressed air are
accomplishing it.
When examinations we're made it was
found that a strif, Of rock nearly d mile
long, 200 feet wide and ten feet in thick
ness had to be cut out. 1t is not shale
rock or slate, but solid living rock. The
Buffalo Dredging company is ripping
through that solid ledge of rock with a
steam shovel. The drcdge used for that
purpose is the greatest tool of it's kind in
the world. 1t looks like a giant mud
dredge and is built On the same principle
as an ordinary dredge. Down in its hold
IT has a 000-horse-power steam engine.
It's anchors or spuds are made of giant
Oregon fir, fiftythree feet long and forty.
four inches through. 1t has dipper or
dredge with capacity of seven cubic
yards. One man. with dozen levers
before him. operates the whole machine.
The dredge of the dipper is armed with
steel teeth about fifteen inches long and
six inches thick. The man at the levers
drops the great dipper with its massive
handle down fifteen feet to the rock bot
tom. Then he moves another lever and
the big engine down in the hold gets I'M
der way The great steel cable attached
to the dipper quivers under the strain
There is a sound of rippling, tearing and
grinding as if the earth was being turned
inside out, and up comes the dipper with
its enormous NAV checked with huge
masses of sphntercd rock.
II has ripped mp seven cubic yards. and
when il has been swung over to the rock
scow its nightly under jaw drops. and il
spews out powders weighing tons. The
teeth of that dipner bite ont seven cubic
