Although the original scheme of the North-rin Pacific railroad contemplated a bridge across the Missouri river at or near Bismarck, no definite action with reference to the construction of this bridge vva taken until the winter of HfeO, when Mr. George S. Morison was requested to examine the river at this point in conjunction with Gen.

A. Andeon, engineer in crntf, and to piepare a report on the btst method of crossing the river. The tiist careful examination was begun in vunl, The fact that the railroad wd- already built fiom the east into the citj cf bi-maick and westward from Mandan made it important that the crossing of the ritr, should be as nearly as practicable on a dirtct line between those two points: bnt the examination wa-. exteiuled down the river to Fort Abraham Lincoln, and about an equal mortgage in case of foreclosure, and the di--bursoments allowed l.y law; which sale-Will lie inaile by the she. iff of said Burleigh county, the I roiu door of the court house, iu the city of Bismarck, in rsaid county and terri'orj ou the 2th iy of November.

which he due at l.hcilato n.is imaro THE BISMARCK BRIDGE is the first bridge which has been built across that portion of the Missouri river, which is subject to ice gorges, and the question has been raised as to the effect of the bridge on the movement of ice. The piers are of unusual size, with long raking ice breakers shod with steel. They tire at once of such a shape as to cut readily the large sheets ofMce with whose movement the breaking up begins, and to afford the least ossible obstruction to the moving mass of broken ice which follows the first shove. Their stability far exceeds any force which the ice can possibly exert. As to the effecti-upon the movements of the ice, experience only can prove whether gorges will occui more frequently or less frequently at the bridge site than elsewhere.

But since the contraction of the river bed has been accom panied by an increased depth of channel, it is not expected that gorges at the bridge will be much more frequent than elsewhere. ICE GORGES. Gorges, however, are liable to occur at any point on this portion of the Missouri, and the eftect of these gorges is to form a complete across the channel of the river. When such a dam is formed the oniy ontlet for the discharge of the Mis souri is over the frozen bottom land. The track across the low bottom laud between Mandan and the river is 10 feet below the high water of 1881, and this low bottom land is regarded as a safety-valve through which the discharge ot" the river can pass in case an ice gorge is formed at or near the bridge.

When experience has shown just what is required, au inexpensive bridge can be built, if found necessary across this low bottom land and the track raised above the danger of overflow. The Bismarck bridge and approaches form an integral part of the Northern Pacific railroad, being the absolute property of the Northern Pacili'- taihoad company and being built under the general charter granted by the national government to that company. All accounts and reports relating to the bridge passed through the construction department which Gen. A.Anderson.engineer in chief, is the head.

The entire country is underpaid with a very hard stratified clay, the idcpth of which has not been ascertained. jhSoungs proved this clav to be at least 100 feet thick 011 the line of the Da-idge, and a tiole intended for an artesian wtul has since been sunk within the Bismarck isity limits to a depth of over 400 feet, and is itill in the clay.

This clay however is in many respects more like a rock than a clay small specimens tested for compression have sustained a weight of over 300 pounds per square inch without crushing, and when they gave way yielded like lock, showed uo tendency to bulge out at the sides. Water has little or no effect upon this clay, even where the current is extremely strong, but when exposed to the dry air the clay slacks rapidly aud crumbles to pieces. On the 15th of July, 1881, the excavation for the foundation of pier 1 was resumed in earnest. Although close to the river this excavation was carried down through the hard stratified clay without the aidof a pump, the only water found in the pit being a strongly alkaline spring water, which evidently had no connection with the Missouri river, and which was easily kept out by occasional bailing. The first concrete in tins foundation was put in on the Gth of September, 1881, and on the 1st of October the concrete filling was finished.

The laying of masomy was begun on the 4th of October, and the pier completed on November 20th, 1881.
