No mere statement or description
can convey anything like an adequate
conception of the stupendous nature
of the work which is being carried on
at Cape Tormentine ami Carleton
Point-but particularly the latter -in
connection with the construction of
the Car Ferry. One must visit the
place and see the operations, in order
fully to realize what a tremendous
undertaking has been grappled with
und is in rapid progress, and to get all
idea of the enormous amount. of labor
that has been, ulld has yet to be, ex-
pended on tile project. Yesterday
morning a number of the railway staff,
among whom were the Superinten-
dent, Mr. H, McEwen, Mr. W. 'l". Hug-
gan. _District Passenger Agent. Mr. G.
A Hughes, Clllef Train Despatcher.
Mr. A. McDonald, District Freight Ag-

almost incredible amount of work has
been done, and for what has been ac-
coulplished, considerable credit is due
the engineers, Mr. F. R, Frippe, wllo is
ill charge of the Car Ferry terminals,
and Mr H. M. Downing, llis assistant.
These gentlemen are illdcfatiguble
workers who arc minutcly conversant
with their business and go about it
ill a manner that compels admiration.
Mr. Barrett, Foreman- of the Roger
Mill Company. the contractors. is an-
other extremely busy man #lt the
Point, and under his cupallle supervis-
ion the work is being pushed forward
with all expedition. in spite of the
great demand on his time, Mr. Barrett
yesterday spared an hour to show a
representative of the “Guardian”
around. and an attempt is here made
to give a description of what was sean.
In the first placetllere had to be con-
structed two giant towers between
tlle shore and the point ill the bay at
which the pier will begin, in order to
place the stone. These towers are
built on rails so that they may be
shifted according as the progress of
the work demands. That on the
shore is 105 feet lligll froln the rails,
and about 120 or 125 feet above the
water. Tile other tower is 90 feet
high from the rails. Now, before
this latter tower collld be built a
“crib” had first to be erected for its
foundation. This “crib” represents
thousands of tous of stone, all placed
solidly and built into an impregnable
island 200 feet by 150 feet. On this
little rock island, therefore,-if it may
be described as all island-the second
iowcr rises to ll. llelgllt of 90 feet
above its rails, and between the two
towers. suspended from the topnlost_
of them, is a nlalrlmontll cable capable
of bearing a weight of tell tons. Along
this cable runs a carriage. itself
weighing sometilingllke 3,600 lbs , al-
Illougll suspended in the air it has s.
trifiillg appearance, and attached to
tile csgringe is ll huge iroll box (minus
the fourth side) ill which the stone is
conveyed. By an intricate mechanic-
al arrsngcmellt the box is so held that,
notwitllstandiug it may travel down
all incline, its collicuts remain in
place. At intervals along the cable
there are notches wlllcll vary“Irl size
about the eighth of an illcll and these
correspond with impresslolls in the
mechanism of the carriage, whereby
the stone ‘is automatically dumped in
the sea along the entire length betwieen
tile towers. This arrangelncnt. for dis-
tributing the stone is rather compli-
cated, but it is a remarkably ingelllous
device and intensely interesting. The
distance between the tower on the
shore and that on the "crib" is five
bulldrcll y_llrds,_anll when it is stated
