PRELIMINARY STEPS. Full information in regard to the construction of all the great tuunels in this country and in Europe was obtained, and, after » careful examination of the arguments for and sguinst the mnu:f,m project ofa tunnel under the lake wan finally pronounced to be practicable. Borings for ao_artesian wel mear the ‘present water works, at the corner of Pinest and Chicago- ave., had demonstrated thet the surface is underlwd by « formation of hard blue clay 100 feet in thickness. An suger, inclosed in & tube to secure specimens of earth, was surk i the bed of the lake every few rods to o distance of twe miles from the shore, the outer end of the proposed tunpel.

COMMYNCEMENT OF OPERATIONS. “The formal breaking of ground for the tunnel took place ‘Murch 17, 1864, at the Water Works, in the presence of the sounicipal authorities and many citizens. ‘The work was con tinued day and night, Winter ‘and Sammer, with only a few brief interruptions from that day until the mivers in the tunnel working toward each other from opposite directions, pierced &ho thin wall of clay which scparated them, and, through the small operfing of that partition, grasped bunds in token of the 'V enduring as the centurics. completion of a work which sha DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK. The tunnel consists of three parts : the tunnel proper, the ft.

Another section of the eylinder was placed #n position upon the top of the first ; when it bad sunk to 8 level mkee of the ground, the two were finally bolted ber, aud then the work of excavation proceeded. The third having been attached in its tarn, the work wus pushed Sorward until the shaft reached & depth of 30 feet. This brought the winers through the soil and quicksands, and some feet into the fine clay formation, wherein they were safe from the irrup- tion of water. = After reaching the above-named depth the shaft i contracted to u diameter of cight foet, aud thence pushed w the bottom of the eylin- der, or 77 feet from Lho surfuce of the ground.
