and a channel dredQed through The route of the
canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific hatbors
Island of Tacamichapa, the head OF present ship
navigation, 81 miles from the Gulf, and follow the
meandeTings OF the river by means OF locks aud
dams, slack-water navigation, 1873 miles, about 90
by an air line-upon which it may yet be thought
advisable to make an artificial canal-to the mouth
OF the Malatengo. The fall of the river, on this dis
tance 130 feet little than one foot to the
mile, mostly above the SaraSa, requiring only 18
locks. From the mouth of the Msatengo. where the
proposed route OF the canal proper commences, for
Chichihua and Tarifa rivers TO the natural summit
OF Tafa Pass the rise is $50 feet requiring at most SO
locks From the summit 20 miles down to the lagoons,
the fall is 600 feet, requiring not TO exceed 63, in
all 1870 locks. This number may be considerably re-
duced by cutting down the summit. For instance,
summit so feet, 10 would make saving of IL locks
in which the total number OF locks would be
duced to 1888 on the Atlantic and the same num-
'The most difficult portion of the canal to be built
is embraced between the Maatengo and the foot of
the mountains on the Pacific plains, and is only
about 35 miles long"
In the event of the surveys having a favor
able result, some of the leading merchants of
the country stand ready with capital to carry
the matter through. The value of the cargoes
belonging to the United States, England, and
France, which would pass through the canal
when completed, is estimated at $29S, ,553 $50;
and the vessels, with an aggregate measure
ment of 3, ,049, 515 tons, and worth $50 per ton,
are estimated at Sl5Z, 40, 1oU, making grand
total of $45l ,029 1870. OF this S193, 1853 937 is
estimated as the value for the United States
trade, $67, ,2l0 609 for that of France, and $780,
649, ,5S4 for that of England. Upon the above
tonnage the yearly income, at So per ton,
would be $6099, O3O, which is the estimated
annual gross receipts from tolls upon ships
belonging to the United States, England,
and France. This calculation does not
include the United States coastng trade
on both oceans, nor the trade that might be
expected from the other nations of the world
not mentioned.
From this it will be seen that the proposed
canal will not only be very beneficial to trade,
but will also pay handsomely for its construc-
ton.
Permission to make the surveys has been asked
of the Mexican Government by Secretary Fish,
through Mr.. Nelson, our Minister in Mexico,
and assurances have been sent that it will be
promptly granted. These necessary diplomatic
arrangements will be made Immediately on the
arrival at Vera Cruz. Should the scheme at the
worst turn out imprabtcable, which is far from
probable the necessary explorations will of
themselves be of great value to commerce and
science.
