Game since his appointment ps cee 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.
