Water Forced Through Rocks.

AS I have told you. the dam is placed
between two natural cliffs and its but
tresses are the eternal mountains on both
sides The water. however. has forced
it's way through crevices in the rocks and
escaped in numerous cascades from both
walls Of the canyon below the dam. They
add to the beauty Of the picture. but are
the source OF some anxiety. There Is q
difference of opinion among engineers as
to whether the leakages through which
ton Of the water. or whether the silt will
gradually close them up. The pressure Of
q LAKE twenty-five miles long and $50 feet
deep,is very heavy. and the water has
found its way into every crevice and cor
ner Of the cliff. Several hot springs have
been uncovered in the excavation and
have given the contractor a great deal of
trouble. The geological formation is UNI
usual and has caused much speculation.
In boring into the sides of the cliff in
places. which was almost impossible for
the workmen to endure. 1t probably
came from subterranean springs.
Ihis Is said to be the largest artificial
lake in the world, which is probably true.
Nearly all OF the 10000 acres to be ir-
