St. Clair Tunnel Opened.
At noon, Sunday, connection was euc-
ceesfully made between the two ends of
the Grand Trunk Railway tunnel under
the St. Clair River at Sarnia, A large
auger bored out ten feet the remaining dis-
tance. This enabled the men working on
the Canadian side to talk to their fellow
workmen on the American end. By noon
Monday the men were able to walk through
the tunnel, its entire distanoe from Sarnia
to Port Huron. The eight foot drift is
completed, and both shields, meCMonday.
The interior will then be finished inside the
shields with iron plates, the 'same as the
rest of the tunnel, the lower one-third of
the tunnel lined with brick, and iron ties
laid. Three engines will be constructed
for use in the tunnel, They will burn
poke; having no smoke whatever. The ap-
proaches will be completed in two months,
and when the tunnel is ready for traffic
both freight and passenger trains will run
through it. Concoction of the work
wad begun from thea West end on . July
29th, 1889, and from the east end five
weeks :later, so it took only a little more
than a year to exoivate the 6,000 feet, 2,900
feet of which are under water. The whole
is lined with oast iron from And to mud, the
tnnnpl being 20 feet in diameter.
