THROUGH A MOUNTAIN.
THE WAY ELECTRIC POWER WILL GO.
For five years engineers have been slowly drilling a way 10,000 feet below the summit of Keiser Mountain in California, and it must have been a tlirflling moment when the tunnel was finished the other day. About four million pounds have beei spent on the tunnel, which is 15 feet wide and over thirteen miles long. It
is to unite the waters of the Florence and Huntingdou Lakes in the San Joaquin valley, and will be the longest tunnel in the world to be used for the development of electricity.
