OF Changes in
WAIOLAMA WORK
Sanitation Project Has Made
Formerly Flooded Land Good
For Building Purposes

No sinking Of any portion Of the
drainage canal walls at the Waiolama
sanitation project, Hilo, has taken
place, but a different method viii be
used in constructing the remainder
because Of the soft material now be-
ing encountered by the contractors,
according 10 Engineer w. r. Hobby OF
The public works department. 49,.
Hobby returned saturday from
lilo, where he went to inspect the
work on the receipt Of reports from
the contractor, the Lord-Young Engi.
neering Company, that trouble had
been encountered in construction.
'trhe soft material now encountered
in the swamp has made a different
method necessary for the remaining
1900 feet" ne said. Il have directed
the contractors to use three-inch
wooden floor Of Northwest timber, on
which the walls will rest, in place of
the rock paving for the canal floor,
previously used where the swamp bot
tom was firmer. This system will be
used for about 900 feet, and where
NECESSARY viii be reinforced by plac-
ing the rock or distributing the load
over asacrfbbing foundation. Under
the walls we will use a little extra
rock If 1t becomes necessary to give a
firm foundation. No rock will be
used under the timber flooring of the
canal"
Hobby added that the results of the
project are now apparent. "The fill is
coming along nicely and the lots
along Front street, which were for
merIy under 10 feet of water, now
hate solid surface and are ready
TO build on" he said.
yhe work was begun last Noyem-

100000, but changes made since re-
duded that figure to approximately
100000, according to the engineer.

convenience to prospectors to be able
to test ores for tungsten quickly. The
following two simple and inexpensive
tests have. been furnished the Silver
State by Prof. j. d. Scott of the Win
nemucea Grammar school:
/. Crush your rock to very fine
powder 600 mesh); boil for five min
utes with hydrochlorie acid; then add
"a little granulated tin and boil again.
If tungsten is present, blue color is
obtained which, after continued boil
ing, changes to brown.
2. If the mineral is the tungstate
wolframite, which is difficulty soluble
in hydroehlorie acid, add six volumes
of sodium carbonate to portion of
the finely powdered mineral; then fuse
on a platinum wire or foil; pulverize
and dissolve in water; filter; add hy-
drochloric acid and boil with granu-
lated tin; the blue color changing to
brown after continued boiling indi-
