INLAND NAVIGATION

To the enquiry. whether the completion
ct canal from Erie to the Hudson would
be likely To give us access to the lead mines
of the Missouri Territory. lately known as
Upper Louisiana, the Caynga Pat riot
gives this answer
" II is an interesting fact. not generally
known to the American public, that boats
have occasionally passed from Lake MI
chigln into the linois, without being sub
je ;ed To the trouble or necessity of unla-
ding their cargoes--the waters Of the Chi
cago and the former river both heading in a
pond with two distinct outlets. In the
speech ofP. b. Porter. on the subject of in.
ternal navigation, in 1910. mention is made
of this fact. 1t. Hamilton, of the u. s. ar
my, is among the number of adventurers
who have actually passed from the lakes
into Mississippi by this route, ard that
without diff ulty. a route nearly as prac.
ticable exists between the wat.rs Of St.
Joseph, of Lake Michigan, and the Thea
kaki, branch Of the Illinois"
