tional fact that hydraulic mining is not
expensive. Presto. the salt and fresh
water was turned loose on Seattle's
hills. and before they really knew
what had happened they were resting
In the shallow part of the bay. From
100000 to SO.OOO.OOO gallons Of water
We're used daily in removing those 49,
100000 cubic yards of hills-that is,
about One-siXth as much water as Chi

The estimates place the total amount
Of excavation necessary to construct
the Panama canal at 124.335.O0O cubic
yards. This regrade undertaking of
the city of Seattle is one-third as large
project. The Seattle people have re-
moved two-tllirds as much earth in
their work as has been moved in work
on the big ditch.
Bigger Things In View.
The Washington city hopes to COM
pletc her task by 1912 and then start
on something that is really big. This
job in prospect involves the construc-
ton of two more city streets mile or
more in length. snatched from the
ocean ut n cost of something like $751;
100000.
The hills upon which the original
Seattle was perched were from 800 to
500 feet high. At the present day
most of the business section streets
have been cut to width of ninety
feet. and the grades have been reduced
to per cent and under. There are Il
few stretches where the width is only
eightyfour feet and the grade 5 per
cent.
The dirt that will have been removed
would cover to the depth of three feet
a square 1881 yards each way. or three
and three-tenths miles. This equals in
surface area about forty-three ordi-
nary city blocks. allowing space for
alleys, wide sidewalks and wide
streets. 1t equals. to state 1t in an
other form, street one mile wide and
nearly eleven miles long. This earth
piled on one city block would reach
up into the air 8,430 feet. or one and
three-flfths miles. In classic language,
that is "some" dirt.
