The last time I wrote I promised
io tell the readers of the Mail Tri
bune more about my trip to Prospect,
etc. When I last wrote I wns telling
about the big rock crusher nud what
they were doing with the rock they
dug out of the place where they are
to erect the building for the electric
machinery. The rocks crushed and
idled up for future uses when they
get the excavating done, for that
alone is u big undertaking itself. Aft
er that is dorie they are to make n
Hdid foundation for the machinery,
of concrete, nnd when the render
stops to think of the enormous weight
to be placed on it he can well imng
ino whntu an uudcrtnkinir it is for one
pidec of machinery weighing thirty
hix thousnnd pounds, nud the rest is
eorosjondingly heavy, nnd then thnt
btriicturc is to bear tlio force of n

to ho laid in a ditch that is being
blasted out of the solid rock on nn

The pipe, from where it leaves the
tho reservoir to its connection with
tho wheel that will move the great
limbs of machinery, will be 1100 fept
in length, nnd is mndc of boiler iron
five-eighths of nu inch thick, nnd
so solid thnt there is no giving nwny.
Tlio entire plant when completed will
