Image Captions Above, a crew strings line to lay the first of several catwalks across the river. In a staging area too| small to accommodate even a Caterpillar tractor, miners blasted and then shoveled muck to build up the riverbanks. With no foothold at all on the Nevada side, miners drove ring bolts into stone to string a cable suspension footbridge, and then they set about hacking a shelf out of the cliff. Four diversion tunnels would be drilled the width of a four-lane tunnel and the height of a five-story building. To speed the work, engineers contrived a jumbo drill built around the chassis of an International chain-drive truck, by welding on a steel skeleton to support four platforms. Two platforms supported miners while the other platforms carried racks of drill steel.
