could determine one of the 65-fOot piles on
the north side of the falsewOrk. near the

course with the settling of the bridge
there was no way to prevent the rest of
the piles from giving way. The piles on
each side of the falsew0rk were set in
pairs and were carrying, including ma
chinery. not more than IL tons, Mr..
Burns said. which he considered ass con-
siderably less than such substantial piles
as were used on this job should carry.

was done without mishap under the di-
rection of Supt. Olson and Manager

The top end of the mast was raised
as high as possible on timbers and then
cable was run from that end up to
tackIe-block on the mountainside and
from there back to n hoisting engine.
