Since the New York aqueduct did

the connection-frst and stopping plan

matter wherein custom prevailed.
In the connection-frst plan, the
back can be stopped, putting il rough
ly, at about one-tenth the cost of
pulling a bench" and correspondents
ly so il second bench is carried.
Progress can be made far in excess
of any known method of removing
the rock, as an unlimited number of
stopping drills can be operated and
/ any amount of dynamite exploded
without any injurious effects, The
machine men are always working in
advance and out of the way Of the
timber men, track men and muckers.
aud thus the workmen would not be
standing around, so to speak, on each

air, thereby enabling them to give

casion require, blasting could be re-
sorted to every five minutes with
out the least Inconvenience.
As has been stated, the writer not

Branch II. Smith, superintendent of
the Monarch Pittsburg of Tonopah,
gives Colorado people the benefit Of
his suggestions for building the Moi
fat tunnel six miles long through the
heart of the Rocky mountain conti-
mental divide. In long article in
the Denver Post he describes meas
ures that should be taken to make
rapid work and indicates how vast
economies may be effected. The ar
ticle is given in part as follows:
Work will, OF course, be started
at both the east and
west portals; and the heading, which
we will assume to be seven feet in
height and l6 feet in width, will be
driven (assuming the total length to
be $4,000 feet 10000 feet, whereupon
connection will be had When this
connection is made, each crew will
return to their respective entrance
and there commence taking down
the back with stopping drills, or, in
other words, "stope out the roof"
Before any work should be at
tempted, equipment of good and suffi-
cient capacity should be carefully and
correctly installed at each portal A
plentiful supply of extras should at
all times be kept on hand. The
buildings, such as blacksmith and
machine shops, timber shed, etc,
should be equipped with the latest
and most modern machinery. All
tools should be carefully inspected
and kept in perfect repair. No arti
san can do good work without good
tools and plenty of them.
In driving the first heading, four OF
FIVE piston drills should be operated
in shifts of six hours each. thereb.

a train made up. For the purpose
Of handling these cars, it will require
three or more motors, two of the
trolley type and one of the storage
battery, the latter to act as a switch
ing engine and the former to make
the outside trips.
Some difference of opinion exists
as to the economy and feasibility of
the six-hour shifts over that of the
eight-hour and as a detailed discus
sion of this problem would take up
too much space at this time, we will
pass it by saying, that, like sailor,
I'VE have to adjust our sails accord
ing to the wind" and as rapidity is
one of the essential features in the
construction of this project, we favor
the six-hour shift until such time as
connection is had.
From scientific study of the labor
problem, it has been absolutely prov
en- that there are three essentials
necessary to obtain a high standard
of efficiency, and these essentials
are: First, good wages, which means
stomach full of good grub; second,
good tools and a liberal supply:
third, good conditions under which to
labor. Therefore, since the nature of
miners employment in a tunnel.
whose prosecution will always be of

ter, is very strenuous, he must be and

working conditions He will and can
well afford TO exert every ounce Of
his physical being during his six
/ hours in the face, as will every other
machine man, with the result that
the contractor is receiving the high
est obtainable efficiency under this
plan.
AS to the plan of making a connec
ton first before taking down the
back. some objection may be voiced
in that no other work will be carried
on during the driving of this frs
heading and ditch, which will prob
ably take little over two years
and that the entire dimension nigh

PROGRESS REPORTED

From the office Of the United Home

that tho spring homo building season
in Salt Lake City is making very
brisk start. w. II. Richcy, general

construction already has boen started
on five new HWellbiltn homes. The
company has commenced work on the
following homes, ranging in price from

GLOR|ES OF SPRING
IN HIGHLAND PARK
That Tract and Hone6eld
Acres Show Natures
Beauties.

Spring activity has already started
at Highland park and Hometleld acres,
and everything indicates that this
will be the biggest homo building year
In the history Of Kimball & Richards,
land merchants. Several fine permanent
homes are now being erected at Home
aeld acres, the popular half-aere tract
near Wandamere. The new extension
of the Wandamere street car line to
Fourteenth South street will put excel
lent car service directly past Homefield
acres.
One of the most CHARACTERISTIC win
dow displays ever seen in the city 1s
the model half-acre farm scene de.
picted in miniature in the window OF
Nmball & Richards. A model homo,
with actual garden truck gTOwintg tIsss
and two dozen 'tjust hatched"
chicks, make q most attractive dis;
play. A miniature flowing well and
Irrigation system, with real water
bubblSag out, gives reality to. tho dis
play. The scene represents tho possi-
bilities OF half-acre garden tract at
HomeAeld acres, and is attracting con-
siderable attention.
At Highland park a large force Of
men is planting peach trees and max
ing other extensive improvements.
The decision OF the city commission
ers to begin work on the sewer mains
immediately will be an added benefit
to Highland park homes, Although this
beautiful residence district IS on the
high bench land and has perfect drain
age, property owners will welcome
every municipal improvement which
adds to the healthfulness and beauty
of the district. Immediately follow
ing the laying OF sewer mains the
asphalt street pavement will be laid,
thus connecting Highland park with
the heart of the business section by the
finest paved drive in the state.
With the continuation of fine
spring weather Kimball & Richards
