To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
an elevation of about one thousand feet above the surface of the reservoir formed by the dam.
DAM FOR ROCK AND SAND BOTTOM. 269 CHAPTER XLVII.
DAM FOR ROCK AND SAND BOTTOM.
The stream on which the dam illustrated in this chapter is situated is known as the Little St. Francois, the location of the dam being 1-j- miles north-west of Fredericktown, Madison Co. , Mo. The course of the stream at this point is between high bluffs of porphyry, which seem to have been upheaved by some tremendous power ...beneath. The rocks are full of fissures, and the bed of the stream pre- sents the appearance of large boulders, ten to fifteen feet in length and breadth, having been taken out at irregular intervals, and the cavities filled up with gravel and sand. The dam here referred to was built in 1869 by Mr. John T. Lee. He states that between the sloping solid rock bluff (shown in our engraving) and a large u hump " in the bed- rock in mid-stream, was a space filled with sand and gravel of unknown depth, in which he buried large white-oak logs, below the general level of the bed-rock, with the large ends down-stream, and extending about 8 feet below the face of the dam, on which to place the apron for this por- tion, no other part requiring any.
