The Great Drainage Tunnel
CONNECTED.

The completion of the Hoffman dram
age tunnel marks the close of the great
est piece of engineering work ever &C
Complished i'll the Georges Creek coal
region.
The great success achieved in the
meeting of the four headings which con-
sutute it makes all realize that they are
living IN progressive age, and that the
engineer of to-day is capable of doing
wonderful things.
Last week the MINING JOURNAL set
forth information about the driving of
the tunnel and the difficulties that were
overcome, stating that two of the head,
lngS had met by three inches
1t Is its exclusive privilege now to am
nounCe that all expectations have been
realized Ill the meeting of the two re-
manning ends, which broke through at
o'clock Tuesday evening, July 81, and
that they could not have come together
more accurately had the point been a
trySting- place for picks instead of drills.
The tunnel will be ready for use with
i'll two weeks. There remains nothing
to be done but some cleaning up of bot,
toms and timbering
The large steam pumps at the bottom
of the new Shaft will then be closed
down; tunneling will be continued
| through the falls between Hoffman and
Eckhart mines; drainage heading and
ditch started to tap the Carlos mines,
which lie miles from the upper end of
the tunnel and portions of Ocean mine
will be drained.
The old Borden property will also
eventually be drained through this
| tunnel, making accessible acres of coal
which now lie under water.
The value of the tunnel will be felt by
hundreds of miners now working in wet
| places, or who are often thrown ont of
employment on account of high water.
a wiser plan could not have been con.
ceived for draining the mines, uncover
ing areas of coal and promoting the com
fort of workingmen.
Lastly, the Consolidation Coal Com
pany and surro, lding properties of
other companies will be able to do away
with their pumping stations, whose
operation cost thousands of dollars Il year

FEosTE-EG, Mn. July -. 1906
To the MrNINu JOURNAL.
From all reports we are to have an
other Carnival company showing in
Frostburg within the next month. and
1t Is Il known fact that there is consider
able opposition ON the part of some of
our people To such shows being per-
mlttcd to exhibit III tins town.
1t Is not the intention of the writer to
discuss tn" merits or dement's of such
exhibitions, but is mistakes of Judgment
are often made by those in authority,
the writer simply wishes to refer to the
reported refusal of the Mayor to grant IA
license to this company to play within
the town limits, believing that far worse
may result than otherwise might happen
The agent of this company has seen fit
to proceed with necessary arrangements
for exhibiting his show, and we will
have 1t Just few hundred feet beyond
the ground usually used for such pur-
pose-near the end OF Broadway.
This company intends to come to
Frosthurg, and this in spite of the
Mayors objection, Uhere are many who
believe the Mayor Is Ohjecting i'll order
to please some other person who objcctsl
and sine" we are to have this show,
would it not be wise for the Mayor to
reconsider aud permit the company to
exhibit within the town limits, under
town authority where the towns officers
can call halt ON anything diSordcrlv,

TO the MINING JouENNI,
\ short time ago the JOURNAL made Il
very sensible suggestion III reference to
keeping the streets clean.
In fact, the JOURNALS proposed
method of having someone cleaning the
streets daily, Is the only way the streets
can be kept III decent condition.
To say the least, it is ii shame to every
person i'll the town that the streets, es-
peclalIy along the curbS, are filthy six
day in the week
Saturdays six or seven men hurry over
the streets with ii click and a promise"
cleaning.
Is this business:
Would the Mayor or any member of
Council or officer of the town, expect to
keep his position under any other emu
ployer by sighting his work as our
streets have been neglected:
1t surely would not cost any more to
pay one man to keep the streets clean
six days week than it does to pay six
or seven to clean them one day ii week
Why does not some officer of the town
take it upon himself to do something to
have the streets appear as they should

DOUBLE THE VALUE 4. |. LANDS.

DOUBLE THE VALUE OF LANDS.
President J. J. Hill told the farm.
ers attending the recent Red River
valley drainage convention at Grand
Forks, that the lands in the seven
" Red River valley counties if properly
drained, would sell for 500 an acre,
and We're cheaper at that price than.
at the prices they are sold for today.
A systematic system of drainage IN
the Red river counties, Mr.. Hill said,
under the direction Of experienced
engineers, will take away the surface
water and run it into the Red river
and y allow seeding and harvesting to
go on at the proper season and dou-
bic the value by the crop results. s.
The drainage, he said, should be
: done lon, by deep main bitches running in
e northeasterly direction towards the
river, and not on east and west or
north or south lines, and by tile
drains running into the main bitches.
The present attempts at drainage by
bitches following roads and section
lines is not the correct system as the.
river runs north. 4:
There is plenty of fall for drainage
and he stated that a correct topo-
graphical map Of every county in the
valley should be first made, the. esti-
mated cost Of which was $50 900, OF
which amount he offered to give
$40 ,000. The general government
must be interested and appealed to
for aid and the resolutions Of the CON
vention requested that the national
irrigation law be amended so that
8 81 .o0o, 900 of the irrigation fund cred
tied to this state could be used as
loan to apply on the work of draining
and aiming the lands, the amount
TO be lien on the lands embraced in
the drainage district, and paid back
t. the government IN twenty annual
installmentts
