here during the course of excavations

in charge of construction, was fully as
wide and probably had a greater fall
than the present Niagara Falls.
The first indications of the former
cataract came to light when workmen
uncovered a series of lodges in the
form of steps with a total drop OF
25 feet and a width of 400 feet. The
rock from this point sloped sharply
and at a distance of about 100 feet
from the end of the lodges showed a
