Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1906-06-04

The county board is already acting
upon the suggestion made by The Bee
that the paved roadways through the
country precincts be put in a condition
of good repair, and this work is pro-
ceeding rapidly, so that very shortly
the pavements under county jurisdic-
ton will be practically as good as new
Another difficulty presents itself, how
ever, in the fact that the roadways
within the city limits, connecting with
these county roads, have fallen into a
dilapidated condition, demanding i'm
mediate attention. The city council
should take steps to cooperate with the
county board to the extent of fixing
up these bad links in the chain. so as
to put the whole road system on a sat-
isfactory basis.

TUNNEL HEADINGS MEET.
Gunnison Tunnel Penetrates Masses Of
Sea Shells.

Washington.-The reclamation SER
vice heard Tuesday that headings 8
and 4 of the Gunnison tunnel have
been brought together finally. The
most disagreeable part of the work Is
now over.
This is the portion under the broad
valley of Cedar creek, where the tun-
mel has been for nearly mile in the
river sands and gravels and soft shale.
Heading No. was driven from an out
let in the valley and No. from shaft
mile away.
The completion of this portion of the
work leaves it possible to concentrate
on headings No. and No. 2, which are
under the main portion CT the noun
tain. In No. the material is hard red
dish quartz or coarse granite, chang
ing to mica schist. In this portion
progress has been upwards of twelve
feet a day, while in the softer black
shale in heading No. 2 progress has
been more than twenty-five feet day
An another section work is being de-
layed by curious condition. The tun-
mel, now more than mile under
ground, has been driven rapidly
through hard black shale. The head
ing now has advanced to point where
it is passing through great accumula-
ton of sea shells. Thousands upon
thousands of them imbedded in rock
are being dug out, some of them of gi-
gantic size, upwards of three feet or
even more in diameter.
The process of eXcavating the shells
Is easy but for the fact that they rem
der the ground treacherous. A few OF
the large ones imbedded in the roof
make point of weakness, and without
warning a mass of a hundred pounds
or even several tons of black shale
carrying shells may be precipitated
upon the workmen.

Without a single exception the cleo

Contrary to expectations, Judge
