A Hill Being Removed in Building Big
Dam in Vernon.

BrattIeboro, Aug 13.--The discovery
Of old tree trunks and limbs under the
cribwork for the Golfer dam at the
Connecticut river dam site between Yer
non and Hinsdale n. H., five miles
south of this village, has made necessary
the employment of a diver to remove the
distinctions before the planking of the
Golfer dam can be driven into the ground
in the bottom Of the river to make the
Golfer dam water tight. These old trunks
are firmly Embedded in silt and appear
to have been lodged there many years.
They will be removed by means Of
chains, ropes, and derricks.
The crib work now extends from the
New Hampshire bank to the island Of
rock in the middle of the river. Addi
tional logs have been bought in West
moreland, N. H., and they viii be floated
down the river soon. IL has been inn
possible to float them down before on
account Of the Van Dyke log drive.
About 100000 feet of logs and 200,
900 feet Of sawed lumber will be used
in the Golfer dam and for other purposes
IL the construction Of the dam. Some
of the timber was cut from land bought

The company Is employing at present
about $50 men at the dam site, some
working on the Golfer dam, some erect.
and some blasting rock for making CON
and some blsating rock for makeing CON
crete, Of which the dam will be built, but
the greater number arc engaged in NOV.
ing hill in order to make room for the
,pill-way Of the dam There are about
10000 cubic yards Of earth TO be moved.
A large number Of teams, principally
from this town, are working with big
scoop shoyels on the top Of the hill,
while on two sides are trains Of dump
cars operated by steam locomotive The
building of the dam is undoubtedly the
biggest job undertaken in this sec
ton of the state.
