LEWIsToN-CLARKsToNF FAIR.

LIZ w Id 1ON AIN.
The Mining News is in receipt of the
first announcement for the lewiston
Charleston fair which is to be held this
year October to Is. The little bulletin
tells of many improvements and new
facilities both for the convenience of
the visitors to the fair and the display
of the products of the state that are
being added to the grounds this year,
and the association expresses the hope
that this years fair will be bigger and
better than ever before. There is much
upon which the hope may be based.
The fair is growing better with age, and
has now reached the period in its ex-
perience that guarantees good attrac-
lions and, fair and honest treatment to
exhibitors and visitors. The past sea-
son has yielded bountiful harvests, and
for that reason a good representation
of the products of the farm is promised.
The mining and lumber interests have
advanced during the past year,
and nothing should be lacking at the
fair to give the visitor good idea and
all the information he wishes regarding
these two great industries of the state.
1t has never been the pleasure of the
editor of the Mining News to visit one
of the annual fairs Of the lewiston
Charleston association, but we know
from experience in older countries the
great amount of good that will come
from such advertisement of its resources
and what it will produce. Back in Iowa
the fair is principally place where
the farmers meet and compare notes
and receive inspiration that spurs them
on to increase the yield of crops and
improve the grade of stock. There
IS no pretense to attract prospective
settler. The state has passed that time.
Idaho's fairs should be 50 planned as tc
serve the same purpose as the fairs ir
the older sections of the country, anc
also attract the man who is looking 70,

for the reclamation of large areas OF
waste lands. The old plan of reclama-
ton and irrigation has gone and gov
eminent reclamation has passed the ex-
detrimental stage, and number of large
projects distinguish the wisdom of the
act.
"While Minnesota's interest is prob
ably that of drainage-the antithesis OF
irrigation the prosperity of this state
is bound up in no small degree in the
welfare of the states and territories to
the west and south of the North Star
state. 1t is therefore advisable that
this state be represented at the next
congress by delegation of Minnesota's
worthiest citizens"
Included in the delegation appointed
by Governor johnson are George l..
Proper, who is interested in the San
Francisco, Idaho & Montana railroad;
E. M. Paulson of Minneapolis, also IN
terested in the same concern, and B. b.
Haugen of Fergus Falls, well-known
lecturer and writer, who is known
throughout the west for his work In
home-making on irrigated lands.

1.-THE project required capital in unlimited
abundance. Above all else, 1t required cour
age to foresee and to feel sure of the ability
of the company to realize from its new i'm
provements sufficient revenue to pay divi-
dends on the largely increased capital. II
the report for 1901 Mr.. Cassatt stated his
views on this subject as follows:
THE cost of the work will be large, but
your board is satisfied that the expenditure
will be fully justified by the results at
tanned"
To carry through this extremely difficult
undertaking the company designated Its
third vice president, Mr.. Samuel Rea, to
take direct charge of the work, to consult
with the New York city and state author
tiles with reference to the rights necessary
to the project and to appoint commission
of five of the most eminent civil engineers
in the world to draw up the plans for the
work itself The commission consists OF
Col. Charles w. Raymond, U. S. A, chair
man: Mr. William H. Brown, chief en-
gneer of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany; Mr.. Charles NJ. Jacobs and Mr.. AL
fred Noble. All the work has been done
under the direct supervision of Mr.. Rea,
and through his energy and ability innumer-
able difficulties of almost every kind have
been surmounted. Among the special mat
tiers which he had to superintend was the
purchase of the necessary real estate-mil-

of the enormous contracts for doing the
work itself.
To have direct supervision over the work
on the Hudson river tunnels the company
secured Mr.. Charles NJ. Jacobs, an English
man, who has probably had to do with the
building of more large tunnels than any
other living man. He designed the shields
used in the work. The shield is the most
important feature of tunneling under
water, and 1T takes an engineer really to
appreciate what 1t means. Four shields
have been in use In the Hudson river work,
two in each tube, one working from the
Jersey side and one from the New York
side in each case. The shields are still in
perfect condition, and, owing to their pecu-
liarly satisfactory character, this work has
been pushed forward with almost unprece-
denied rapidity.
The chief assistant engineer, Mr.. James
Forgie, a Scotchman, designed the hydrau-
lie sliding platforms with which the shields
are equipped. 1t is on these platforms that
the men stand in making the excavation
ahead of the tube itself; the platforms slide
out as the work advances, and the eXca-
waited material Is dumped back through the
shield upon tram cars, which carry 1t back
to the shaft.
Mr.. Forgie was the principal assistant to
the distinguished tunnel engineer, Great
head in the construction of the Waterloo
and City railway tunnel under the river
Thames in 1894.
The contractors, the ORourke Engineer

The shield itself weighs 1914 tons. 1t has
nine doors in it, and through these comes
the rock, sand, or silt, or whatever the
material through which the tube must be
driven. Thirty men work in a gang, and
there are three shifts in the day Of twenty
four hours. The record progress SO far Is
five rings, or twelve and a half feet, in
eight hours. Men of all nationalities have
built the Pennsylvania tubes under the
Hudson, negroes having done large part
of the job. Lazness is something the con-
tractors never had to contend with; they
say there must be something about the
compressed air which generates energy and
enthusiasm, for the "muckers'' vie with one
another to make the record number of
rings.
Perhaps there has never been an engineer
ing project in which theory and practice
were so nearly in agreement. The engineers
calculated the difficulties closely, and a
really remarkable system of reports has
been In effect from the first day. Every
morning Mr.. Jacobs has known the progress
made the day before, to the very inch and
the amount of rock and soil eXcavated, to
the cubic foot. The Pennsylvania railroad
officers and the contractors hold this per-
feet system and the thoroughness of each
days work chiefly responsible for the
promptness of the meeting of the tubes.
Engineers say, too, that no project was
ever CARVED out where the emphasis was so
entirely upon the results rather than upon
the money it cost to attain them. Records
have been kept with unprecedented accu-
racy and fullness, and they have been cor
rected, revised and re-revised with Devil
dering frequency.

Although gold coins are not in circula-

will be of interest and value to the public
The three principal treasury tests Of coins
are: First, the weight; second, the diam

terfeiter who succeeds in making his dies
and the spurious metal alloy which will
meet all Of these tests Is indeed smart
one. With some alloys he may be able to
work out the weight. but the diameter of

perfect ones are almost exact replicas of
our own minted products, and have a
sharp, true ring, smooth, well-finished sur
faces, with the lettering and milling finely
delineated. The reeding-the little raised
and indented marks on the edges Of the
ccin-is not as sharp and clear as the
reeding on the genuine coins. While
many of the finer counterfeits are of full
weight. they are usually little short of
weight. Some Of these gold coin counter
feits are so well made and are Of such a
fine appearance that they pass current
until they reach the hands of the coin ex-
perts in this building.

Quietly the work went on, and the public
heard of little that was happening. Acct

The tube itself consists Of a series of iron
rings, and the installation of every ring
means a progress of two and a half feet
Eleven plates and a key piece to go at the
top complete the circumference. and an en-
tire ring weighs about fifteen tons. The cast
iron plates, or sections of the ring, have
fianges at right angles to the surface, and
it is by these that the successive rings are
held together with bolts. Hydraulic rams,
placed against the f1anges every few inches
around the tube, push the shield forward
at a maximum pressure of 3,4OO tons; If
the pressure of the air in the tube be taken
into account the pressure upon the shield Is
increased to 400 tons.
