RICE, 161 Lake St. , Chicago.
21 company. Each of the gentlemen took a shovelful of earth and placed it in the wheelbarrow, which was taken away by Colonel Gowan, one of the contractors. The field was then abandoned to Messrs. Dull & Gowan, and the work placed in their hands ; the Board reserving the right to examine and criticise the operations as they progressed.
The location of the shore shaft was on the site of the old pumping works, at the east end of Chicago avenue, directly on the lake s...hore, about half an hour's walk from the Court House.
SINKING OF THE SHOKE SHAFT.
Messrs. Dull & Gowan, the contractors, now entered zealously upon their great enterprise. A shaft about nine feet in diameter was sunk, on the above site, a short distance from the shore of the lake. When the workmen had descended a short distance into the earth, they encountered a bed of shifting quicksand, which for a time defied all efforts at excavation. It was originally intended to construct the shaft wholly of brick, running it down from the surface of the ground, to a depth of fifteen feet below the level of the bottom of the lake, but encountering the quicksand com- pelled the abandonment of this method* The contract was consequently deviated from, and the contractors were author- ized to run down an iron cylinder of the same dimensions as the center of the crib, as far as the bottom of the sand bed, about twenty-six feet.
