The volume contains a summary of the local geologic facts and the general principles found helpful in solving some of the problems encountered in a single great engineer ing enterprise. The summary is accompanied by brief discussions of the methods employed and of the final results or conclusions reached. It is therefore essentially a study in applied geology. Seldom has so favorable an opportunity been afforded to follow extensive exploratory work and check geologic hypothesis or theory by subsequent proof. And still more seldom have engineers in charge of Similar works so fully appreciated the value of geologic investigations and the extent to which they can be utilized as a guide.
