OTTAWA laVEIi STORAGE 93 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19a Some of the boulders measured seven feet above the bottom and 6x5 feet in plan,so holes were from 2 to 5 feet in depth, and the drills did not last long on the hardgranite. !Men were scarce, but two gangs were organized without taking any from thecontractors force, so the progress on the dam itself was not affected. By the middleof November, the dredge had advanced 200 feet. Owing to the great number of bould-ers, it was decided to continue the drilling and shooting during the winter after thedredge was laid up. At end of November, two steam drills with a boiler were set upona scow and worked till the ice became thick enough, when they were moved onto it. Kipawa Con
