J. R. Cross, ‘The gentleman, after a careful examination of the ground around the working shaft, and. consultation with the’ engineers of the work with regard: to tho’ progress that had been made toward the completion of tho large chambor, or grand archway which connects the tunnels with the shaft, came to the conclusion that tho calamity was not duo to carcleaness on the: part of tho’ buried workmen, but the result of bung- Ing work by the engineers, Mr. Cross said:-- “Tho principle ‘of utilizing compressed air upon which the work on tho tunnel was dono was rathor a novel one, and engineers generally were | not. willing. to commit themselves in Its favor befora a rough trin! hnd been imade. Prestdont’ Has- king was very confident. of lily success, and began his operations without, I think, duly considering the diMculties which might be met with, Mis first, attempts wero not very successful, for directly at tho shaft in just about tho ‘place whero the disaster of yesterday occurred, there was a blow- out almost at tho beginning of the work, Tho ninterla! ‘nbouf tho shaft was looge and had been considerably shaken ‘up by tho proces of sinking the shaft. Tho proper precautions were not taken, and the results wero a blow-out which fortunately killed nobody, but left the entrance to tho tunnel in a very demornl- ized condition. Thoy stopped this blow-out by spreading n larga canyas over the break, Jaying heavy timber on this, and then. filling it up with waste material, It was Inthecon- necting chanber that the operations wero carelesly performed. Instead of carrying tho double tunnel back to the shaft, they. began to enlarge this’ chambor so as to make one passageway of thesaine hight as tho two tunnols and of the width of both combined, ‘Thoy carried back the boiter-lron sheath to tho shaft, but they did not follow with tho masonwork as the shell was constructed, “ns they had done in the two Interal tunnels, Here was where tho great mistake was made, and in my judg- ent the aceldent is directly due to this fact. ‘The fron shell had been completed, top, sides, and bottom, for elghteen fect from the entrance to the two tun- nels, but for the remaining twelve feet the roof only had beon formed, and was joined to the shaft nbout one-third of the way from the top to the bottom, My ex- planation of tho disaster is this; In the vlghteon feet of tho chamber which Nad been completed, the wholo pres- sure of tho superincumbent earth and silf was borne by an Jron shell with nothing to rellove it.’ The compressed alr, it fs true, Was insidé the shell, but {t- would have no moro effect in preventing tho distortion or crushing ot the cylinder than if thors was no air ot all, ‘he sholl might have been bent from top to bottom and still tho air would be thers pressing aqually in all direc. tlons. ‘Thero must have been some slight disturbance of the materint above the cham- ber during {ts construction, but any serious movemonut was pravented by the compressed air and the rapidity, with whieh -the work was. carried on, When this eighteon fuet, however, had beon relieved entirel; from tho alr pressure, tt bozan to settle ant consolidate around the tunnel. Tho plate shell had not sufliciont strength to resist the crushing welght, and probably’ buckled or bent thus producing a greater movement bi the earth above it which coumuntented to the loose materta! adJoluing the shaft, Tho regult was the openiug of n crevice too largo to be stopped by tho ordinary means of plug- ging It up with a shovel full of sult, the es- ‘eapy of the compressed alr, and the caving hn of the chamber near the shaft, ‘That tho roof of tho camploted portion of the chamber has been sunk or broken has beon proved by tho sounding rod at a distance of twenty ‘t foot from shatt. ‘Tha rod was pushes down flys feat below the level of tho shell when constructed and no iron was struck,” “Thon you think,’ sald tha reporter, “that the aceldent ls not duo to any peculiar danger urising from, the use of compressyd air, but from a talluro to properly guard ngalnstncayo after tho alr was no longer avallablo, "phat is tha Iden exactly. The alr did-Its work thoroughly and successfully wntil it was cut off from the superincumbent imate- rink by the intervention of the Irgn plutes, ‘Theso were not Strong enough to hold the mss above them, the elgitoun feet of completed sheathing in the chamber had boon laid with brick as fast ny it was pinced in position as the tunnels were, there lg no Teison to suppose that the uccidont would haye happencd. ‘Choy trusted to a cyl- inder of —bollertron, which | could not bear the welght.
