BUCKING HARD
ROCK FORMATION
ON ARM SECTION
Because of the difficulty of drilling
and springing rock, the grade work in
the vicinity of Bird point is progress
ing slowly. Considering the shortage
of powder, station contractors in gen
eral are getting along well. Several
small coyote shots were fired during
the week ending April 21 with good
results.
A commission force will be placed
in the hard rock cut at Sheep creek
and the drilling w'ill be done by pow
er. The formation is so hard that
contractors would not be able to take
out the material by hand within a
s
year. A boiler and hoist have been
hauled to the cut and the compressor
for this work will be at Sheep Creek
and installed within a week. Lack of
snow' and a soft trail made the moving
of the compressor difficult. Twelve
horses w'ere required for the hauling.
A small force was at w'ork during
the w’eek getting the steam shovel,
track, cars and dinkeys at Big Rab
bit ready for the season. A small
extra gang was placed on the Tum
again arm line putting in culverts,
opening ditches and fixing bad spots
in the track.
A small force of commission em
ployes worked on extra width clearing
just south of Rainbow'. The contrac
tors from Bird Creek south are mak
ing satisfactory progress.
