100. -. The gross revenue OF June, lsT2, eI-
ceeds that Of June, 1909 and 1870, but shows a
decrease rs compared with lsTl. This decrease
can only be accounted for In one way, yiZ tho

ma nd for Cumberland coal, uhleh could not DO
expected To continue aileT the resumption Of
mining operations 10 that State, and which was
fllly resumed IN the beginning OF the present
season. There was on the 3Oth Instant In tho
various 0epoaltorloh OF Nho company the sum OF
toOOlO 81. The President says; The condition
Of the ba an In Rock creek and the outlet lock at
that point was such that II was impossible for
boats drawing four feet Of water TO pass out OF
the canal, and two Of Morgan 90. e beats had
been seriously Injured In consequence thereof
have directed the superintendent TO put In two
lock gates aud clean out the basin 30 as to pass
boats drawing four feet six inches, but am sat
Isned that II will DO utterly impossible 10 keep
this portion Of the canal In proper oonditlen for
tho passage Of loaded boats without the use Of a
steGm-dredge."
