forward job, but sinking a rein-forced concrete sub-structure Insoft, marshy ground carries with itsome element of luck. The con-tractor was unlucky, as the caisson,instead of sitting vertically on solidrock, moved horizontally from itsintended position, rested on bed-rock on one side of the circum-ference, and then finally came torest about 12 degrees off the ver-tical.

By the terms of the contract thevertical tolerance permitted was 0degrees 30 minutes. The caissonhad to be righted. After manyideas had been studied, a uniqueprocedure was adopted whichproved successful. It is believedthat the method used had neverbeen tried before in North America.

Deep sea divers placed eight 300-ton hydraulic jacks on preparedconcrete bases under the cuttingedge of the caisson. These jackswere connected to a pumping sys-tem and console located on sur-face. A pressure gauge and controlon each jack was built into theconsole which permitted the oper-

ator to keep an even pressure oneach jack. The average stroke ofthe jacks was 5 Inches. Conse-quently, as the caisson was slowlyrighted, a jack would reach thelimit of its stroke. While theoperator held the pressure withseven jacks, the divers would gounder water, remove the jack, in-sert a steam-cured reinforced con-crete pad, and replace the jack onits now elevated base. Full pres-sure was then resumed.

The progress was slow - aboutone-half inch per day verticalmovement on the low side. Thejacking operation was assisted bythe divers, Who continuously jettedwith compressed air pipes underthe high side opposite the jacks toreduce the friction on that side.This jetting was somewhat dan-gerous as 'blow-ins" or influx ofclay material to the Interior of thecaisson would occur, causing thedivers to retreat to surface asrapidly as possible. One diver ex-perienced a slight touch of thebends", a diving hazard, from a

too-rapid ascent to surface.

It took '71 days of constant jack-ing, jetting, and insertion of con-crete pads under the jacks, to movethe caisson vertically to the per-mitted tolerance.

The caisson walls contain 1,350cubic yards of concrete and 200tons of reinforcing steel. The wholecaisson weighs approximately 3,000tons.

Professional deep sea divers wereengaged to clean the bottom andthe interior haunch of the cuttingedge. Foreign material was pumpedto surface using air lift pumps. Thedrivers operated in the muddywater with no visibility and atfreezing temperatures.

With the bottom cleaned, tremieconcrete was placed on the bottomthrough a rubber trunk line to anaverage height of 11 feet above

Sinking collar for the shaft thenproceeded inside the caisson to adepth of 60 feet to the top of thetremie seal. Construction of thecollar then commenced and theinterior walls of the shaft werepoured through the caisson.

This summer the concrete super-structure will be erected on thecaisson.

Bill MatsonBill Matson has seen many

changes in the Garson area sincehis parents first took up farmingthere 53 years ago. Bill and hiswife Vieno Jouppi, whom he mar-ried in 1928. still live on 10 acresof the original 320-acre familyfarm. Anyone interested in thehistory of that particular areacould learn much from this articu-late, ingenious Finnish farmer-turned-miner who this spring loftGarson mine on early service pen-sion.

Bill was seven years old when hisfamily came from Finland to Gar-son. For a time they operated aboarding house in town, thenbought a farm in the area of whatis now Hetno Road and O'NeillDrive. Later they sold half thefarm and of the remainder Bill hasretained a 10-acre plot where hehas lived for 33 years.

That first week on the farm backin 1911 was a memorable one foryoung Bill the family were com-pletely burned out: home, barn,buildings, everything. "We hadonly the clothes we were wearing,"he recounted. "My birth certificatewas burned too and I'm not surenow if I'm 60 or 62."

One thing he is sure of, however,is the basic goodness of his fellowman. "The day after the fire agang from the boarding house atGarson came out with barrels ofclothes and food," Bill said, "andin the next couple of days they hadcut and peeled logs and built us anew house, bigger than the oldone,"

Except for a few months withMond Nickel in 1918 Bill stayedaway from mining until 1937. "Ihad the only binder and separatoraround here then and used tothresh all the local farmers' crops."he related, "There were farms allthe way from the Catholiccemetery (on Lasalle Boulevard)right through where the shoppin'centre is now and back to GarsonLake. They grew plenty of wheat.oats and barley around here then,"he said.

Bill worked underground at Oar-son where he drove raises, orepasses and di'ifts from 1939 to 1946When his natural mechanicaltalent was recognized he went onas a drill fitter. He has cashed inon several practical ideas throughInco employees suggestion planand has contributed other ideas forimprovements to undergrounddrills and slushers.

The Matsons have one daughterViola, the wife of Clive Taylor ofGarson, a son Leo at rslington,and five grandchildren. A campat Whitewater Lake is home to Billand his wife most of the summeras they are both fond of fishing,boating and gardening.

Chris Jorgensen'It's funny how things turn out,"

reminisced Chris Jorgensen. "I wassent to Creighton 5 shaft for a jobthat was to take about a monthand I stayed there almost 30 years.But not for that one job," he addedlaughingly. "And it has been agood place to work. I don't thinkI could have done better."

Carpenter foreman at Creighton5 shaft the past three years and aleader for 10 years before that,Chris had worked there as a car-penter since early In 1935. Retirednow on service pension he is heldin high regard by all who knowhim.

Chris was born in a Danish fish-ing village 65 years ago and recallsthat his first steady job beganeight days before hIs 12th birthday.After six years on the farm heapprenticed as a carpenter andworked at that trade until comingto Canada in 1927. Earlier heserved in the Danish Navy, endingup as a hand on the king's yacht,no less.

In Canada Chris worked at farm-ing, construction, harvesting, andcountless odd jobs around Torontowhere he spent most of the depres-sion years. "And they were reallytough years too,' he recalled.

When a trip to Kirkland Lakeand nearby mine camps producedno job he tried Sudbury on afriend's recommendation. "Therewere hundreds of men waiting forjobs," he said, "and I was luckythey needed a carpenter." Heworked a few months with Fraser-Brace, then was sent to Frood andshortly after moved to Creighton.

Chris married Terttu Jappnenin 1932 and theIr family includeCarl of the insurance department

At the end of May Chris left fora three-month visit to his horre-land and this coming winter theJorgensens intend spending sometime in Florida, "We hope to travela good deal now." said Chris, ahappy pensioner in good healthwho has plenty planned for hisfuture.
