Chattanooga Times:

Chattanooga Times
Light was struck in the tunnel which
is being constructed through Lookout
Mountain by H. H. Thrasher & Co, /,
shortly after o'clock Saterday morn
ing. The engineers and contractors
were highly elated when the men who
were working from both ends met.
The center lines run from both ends
OF the tunnel by the engineers only
missed each other one and one half in
ches. Considering the fact that there
is decided curve in the tunnel this is
considered remarkable feat of engin-
eering as the difference between the
two center lines is of no material con-
sequence
The opening made by the picks of
the workmen was soon enlarged to ad-
NIT of the passage of person Through
the opening. Mr.. Thrasher, accom-
panied by d. G. Seymour, resident
engineer of the Southern railway,
who has charge of all of the construc'
tion work on the Stevenson division,
walked through the entire tunnel.
The time consumed in making the
excavation OF the tunnel, which il
$500 feet from mouth to mouth was
thirteen months and fifteen days, a'
FL. HI. Thrasher & Co., began working
on the tunnel on Nov. /, 1905. They
have4net with very little difficulty
except those which are commonly en-
tpuntered by engineers and contract
ors on similar work, aud in several in
stances the contractors have been aid
ed in their work by nature.
A striking example of this, was the
striking of the large cave seyera
weeks ago. This cave probably short
ened the time of the completion of th'
excavation work four or five days.
also provided place to dump the rocl
and dirt taken out of the tunnel be
sides furnishing air A day and nigh
force of twenty five men have been a
work on the tunnel since it was start
ed.
Now that the two forces Of mel
working from both ends Of the tunne
have met, the contractors will push tn
work of completing the excavation
and the cenent work as fast as posi-
BILE On Monday the steam shovel
will be put to work in the tunnel clear
ing away the dirt and stone preparin
it for the laying Of thesdouble tracks
The contractors hope to be able to clea
out 700 feet a month. The tunnel wi
probably be completed within fou
months. The dimensions of the tunne
when completed will be 3, 800 feet long
Ono of tae engineers in speaking c
the progress OF the work on the Stey
enson division of the Southern raj
way, said that lie believed that the er
tire extension would be completed b
June /, 1907.
A Christmas dinner will be serve
in the tunnel on Christmas day to th
contractors and engineering party i
honor of the successful termination {
the work.

Ida Baker of Des Moines was a guest

thru the roof, carrying death and de-

She ran thru the middle of the

of excited citizens were fighting for a
chance to get aboard to be carried over
to Oakland. She succeeded in getting
