OVERHANGING
ROCKS BLOWN
INTO RIVER
The overhanging cliff between tun
nels No. 3 and 4, north of Mile 52,
one of the scenic features of the old
line which put a chill in the heart of
every trainman and passenger passing
the spot, is no more.
Carefully placed shots were fired
yesterday which hurled the overhang
ing rocks into Placer river.
This overhang was caused by the
peculiar rock formation which made
it difficult to blow away enough of the
mountain to make the face of the cut
perpendicular. The constructors of
the old line, bent on making mileage,
left it and each spring the frost and
thaws brought down rocks on the j
right of way large enough to smash j
any equipment which might happen
to be at that spot, but the danger has
been removed.

GOOD PROGRESS MADE
ON BRIDGE WORK
Decking of the new bridge at Mile
29 has been completed and the pile
driver will complete work today on the
bridge at Mile 26, after which the only
structures to be replaced between that
point and Snow river are the small
bridges at Falls creek and Ptarmigan
creek.
Material is at hand for the 645-foot
bridge over Snow river at the new
point of crossing this turbulent stream
which is below the present line. An
extensive fill is to be put on the
north approach to this bridge and it
is probable that the structure will be
completed before the fill, depending
entirely on the progress made by the'
steam shovels at points between here
and the river.
