“Did you get your men?” “It’ll be twenty feet through at the top. At the bottom it has to be pretty nearly two hundred feet. Although it is all filled in now by masonry, they had to dig down to bedrock and to get there they had to excavate about five hundred and fifty thousand cubic yards of sand, shale and rock. It’s sixty-five feet from the river bed to the bottom of the foundation.” During the day or two that remained before Bob’s departure, Mr. Hazard was shown the dam and all the things that made up its building.

Not let storekeeper cheat or Greaser hurt,” was the answer. “Looks like you were right,” he said tersely. “The river must go through a tunnel, because it sure comes out on t’other side.
