gtavel channel
at North Bloomfield, The shafts were sunk
at such points inthe canyon as the location would admit ,
averaging 1,000 feet apart, and the tunnel was driven
straight from the tunnel-mouth to shaft 1, This tunnel
alone cost $550,000, andthe company commenced mining through it in January, 1875,

The upper end of this long and expensive work terminates at a point under the great gravel channel, and 200
feet below the surface, To this point a vertical shaft was
sunk from the surface, passing through a great depth of
gravel. It is at this shaft where the hydraulic process
commences,

stander was nicked, but was
broken, andthe canyon under which the tunnel was constructed is sinuous, with very high and steep banks, making it very difficult to run correct preliminary surveys.
Yet, as will be seen by an examination of the table,
the maximum errors, as between the surveys on the surface and the surveys of the work completed, are as follows; In alignment, 9/16 of an inch; in levels, 5/16 of
aninch; in distance, 1 1/2 inches, Had the tunnel been
constructed upona straight line for its entire length,
these variations would not be considered as worthy of
notice even with the very nicest work, but with a tunnel
7 by 8 feet, with small shafts only about 5 or 6 feet
square, and with seven angles in thetunnel, such accuracy is extraordinary. The work was constructed under
the control and supervision of Mr. Hamilton Smith Jr. , —
the engineer and superintendent of the company.
