RAILROAD IS Spanning
Two MARYLAND TOWNS
Pennsylvania Building Gigantic Shue.
lures Over the Gunpowder
and Bush.
CONSTRUCTION CAMPS TOWNS

On its line connecting Baltimore and
Philadelphia the Pennsylvania Railroad
is now constructing two long, double
tracked. reinforced concrete viaducts at
the crossings Of the Gunpowder and
Bush Rivers, in Maryland. These waters
are really wide astuaries of Chesapeake
Bay, the crossing over the Gunpowder
.cer being nearly mile and that over
the Bush River more than a half-mile in
length.
Lore than a million dollars Is being
expended to construct the bridges, the
approximately cost of the Gunpowder
bridge being sS60.0O and that Of the Bush
River bridge about S50.Oo0. The work
on the two structures began in March,
1872 Much of the construction work
on the two bridges Is already complete.
The bridges are of the fiat concrete slab
type, with the slabs resting on concrete
piers, the latter being built on pile foun-
dations.
Each bridge will carry two tracks and
will have a steel lift draw span % feet
wide Each bridge Is 30 feet inches
wide, and Is approximately 100 feet to
the north Of and parallel with the old
wooden trestle. The new structures are
eight feet higher than the ones they will
soon replace, making the total height
above mean tide L 1-s feet
The piers are five feet thick at the
bottom and rest on Q concrete base, 10

structures. when completed, will be about
$500 cubic yards of concrete. 1900 tons
OF reinforced steel and 13.00O piles.
The bottom of the two rivers are muddy
and In the case of the Gunpowder River a
1o-foot pile will sink by its own weight
for about half its length before IL reaches
the hard bottom of sand or gravel. Con-
sequently, in building the piers much
mud had to be removed from the Golfer
dams. and as the Federal government
would not permit any of the material
thus taken out to be deposited in the
stream, 1t was converted ashore by
pumping through q pipe line to the
beach behind the bulkhead. The greatest
length through which the mud was
forcei was 900 feet.
Approximately a half-mile OF new track
Is necessary on each side
of each river to meet the grade OF the
new bridges and the conditions are al
most the same at each place. the rivers
are seven miles apart
To carry on the work expeditiously the
established two large camps
Each of the camps IL like a small town
Several hundred men are employed on the
work. Wells were drilled for water,

Installed and small house and Office build
ings erected for the employees and those

GREAT VOLUMES Of GAS
SAVEDBYU. EXPERTS
Oil Specialists Of Bureau Of Mines
Manage to Prevent Loss Of
Precious Fluid.
PRODUCERS ARE GRATIFIED

What Is believed TO be a most notable
demonstration of the conservation OF the
mineral resources Of the country has Just
been accomplished by the United States
Bureau of Mines in Oklahoma.
A. ]. Pollard. of Bakersfield. Cal, and
A. G. Heggem, of Pittsburgh, Pa. the
two oil experts of the bureau. have sue
ceeded in stopping the waste of more
daily. This gas is worth $3I 500 for every
day it is wasted. and nearly sl3,Ooo,OcO in
years time.
when the bureaus experts entered the
field It is estimated that 250.0ooOoO cubic
feet OF gas was being wasted. valued at
about $s2,5 for every twenty-four hours.
or about 23ooo. 900 a year." said Van H.
Manning, assistant to the director of the
Bureau Of Mines today. ''All of this will
eventually be saved.
THE Federal oil experts entered the
Oklahoma field several weeks ago." he
continued, "and were met with suspicion.
Many OF the operators and drillers did
not believe that the method proposed
by the experts was applicable to Okla
homa, and others feared an increased
cost Of drilling. Since that time the Fed
eral experts have successfully directed
the drilling of two wells in which there
would have been a combined waste of
more than 2o.Oo000 cubic feet of natural
gas daily under the old Methods
The system, in brief, is the pumping of
a mud-laden fluid into the well in such
manner that it stops the gas from pene-.
trating the well. In a number Of in
stances it has been necessary to shut
down the well and the money spent in
drilling has been lost. Loss from this
cause in the future will be avoided by
the adoption of the system recommended
by the Federal experts.
As an evidence of how the operators
feel toward the work of the, bureaus
experts the following telegram to Secre-
tary Lane IL given:
Under your DIR. Holmes. J. A. Pol
lard. oil expert in Gushing field here, has
for the first time within
the knowledge Of Oklahoma producers
that gas sands may without waste be
drilled through to lower oil strata. This
system IL given reasonable demonstra-
tion for some weeks will result in great
elimination OF waste. Please continue
Mr.. Pollard for further education Of
producers.
