ROOT, PRINTER, 414-416 8, 13th St,, . « OMAHA, NEB, THE New York Subway (Continued from Fifth Page.) sinking of shafts 100 feet down in solid rock, to erecting high bridges and elevated structures The most plorer of down the street shaft ings, now It is like going elevators sink firet into thick the carry urface, It is impossible feet ahead made the after the workmen gone plicked a path mud ind related details on the way., “Twenty feet high here all two tracks.

Th just been com- plet however, another section In which the kind of work carried on When the contractor for the section which runs under a corner of Central park under- took this piece of work his task was that of boring a tunnel through the solid rock without disturbing the surface of the park. There were many nearby and every unusually large blast menace to the neighborhood. S8till the contractor accomplished his difficult task without a mishap. As an instance of the beautitully exact calculation which been made in connection with every part of the work the experience of this contractor in connecting his two headings may be cited. When the blast had blown out the separating rock it was found that the two headings had joined in one straight tunnel. There was not a fraction of an inch difference in the calcu- lations of each as to the location of the other. In marked contrast to the scenes of min- ing life, with its accompaniment of trem bling from the blasts dnd its procession of oily, muddy drillers of e rocks, are tho bridge builders, the toilers In the atr, far above ground. The face of the solid rock at One Hundred and Ninety-fifth street wlil soon have a huge mouth, for here the sub- way transforms itgelf from a tunnel to an elevated structure. Thence one mile of bridge is to be bullt up to the end of this branch at Two Hundred and Fifteenth street Over on the other side of Harlem another extraordinary operation going on. The Bronx division has to dip under the river, and this section hae not been done In the regular subriver manner. A wooden struc- ture, half the width of the river long, Into whose cross-section an archway of the sub way would fit, is built and floated from one bank. Then this structure is welghted and sunk, and the pressure of the water above and around it makes it airtight. The river bottom then dug out under the frame- work, the dirt and rock belng placed on top of the structure to hold it down. When tne trench is of sufficient depth the regular tun- nel masonry 1s put in, and one-half being thus completed, the wooden structure is re- leased and floated to the other side, when practically the eame operation 1s gone through with again, tion on hy next New piece of single in are to many ause €0 far up has ed same was buildings was a has is is Most Expensive Mile, It may cause Is the ordinary surface cutting which be seen by everybody, and thie, be- it is the simplest kind of work con- nected with the subway, is the least inter- esting. The crowds, however, never seem to lose their curiosity A network of tim- bers, supports, gae, water and sewer plpes practically all that is visible. Through convenient openings huge buckets are low- ered to be loaded with rock or dirt, igain and run the cable way until they are dumped into the walting carts Great chains lock together the timber sup- ports of the street Pillars of steel and wood hold street surface And thousands of people pass over these yawning holes daily without a thought of danger, despite the accidents that have The work is carried on with the greatest margin of safety. No sooner Is the smoke of a blast cleared away than timber supports are driven into place. Wherever an open trench is dug the side drifts are safeguarded as much as possible. Indeed the wonder Is that the work of excavation can go on at all in the tangle of steel and timbers which are used to maintatn the surface, The most expensive mile of the subway extends from Thirty-second street under the rallway tunnel to Forty-second ratsed along car tracks up the happened street ILLUSTRATED street; thence and around square.

Subway's Official Photographer, to be is to over subway “Do you see the of that building?" standing in an excavation sixty feet the surface of the stre and the bar of a building towered 150 feet above, poee the owners claimed that the excava tions here had caused that crack. I would g0 over my photographs taken here before the work w begun at all and I would «how picture of that building with the same crack in it. T have taken hundreds ot pictures just as a matter of record to show how buildings, streets, sidewalks, ete., looked before we began work and how these have been affected by the excavating. Yon would be surprised at the number of dam- which we can stop in just this long crack down the side he inquired. We were | below wall “Sup- a age claims way."” A year from next fall, when trains begin to run in at least a part of the subway, New Yorkers will begin to appreciate the genius and energy which has been devoted this great enterprise Not eonly New Yorkers, but all Americans as well may be proud of the men who have carried the project from first inception to within sight of its completion. To William Barclay Parsons, the chief engineer of the Rapid Transit commission, more credit i: due than to any other single man. It was Mr. Parsons' pet plan for years before the legislature of the state passed an act by which the work could be taken up It has the indefatigable lahor of Mr. Par- sons and his corps of engineers which has made possible the formation of plang for every detail now being carried sue sfully. During the the contracts busiest to its final heen out ce the letting offices were York Every for elevated every water together with house con conduit was located; in deed, the character of the rock or soil in the path of the proposed subway was de termined Before the first pick was struck into the ground Mr. Parsons knew that six and a half miles of sewage pipes alone had to be moved; he knew where lines of water and gas service would have to be changed entirely; he knew one place where it would be necessary shift sev. 1 blocks of street car line in order to carry on blasting successfully under it When one stops to think of the engineering problems which were encountered it all the more sur- |»|I.~x|m-z that the work has gone on so suc- cessfully thus far At the present time nearly $1,000,000 month are being ex- pended.
