OPERATIONS or THE UNITED srATEs rHc,svpp
DEPARTMENT.
During the year the operations OF the
United States Engineer Department have
been confined to openinga good and suffi-
cleni channel through Rockets reef. This
reef IS d6O feet long, beginning nearly oppo-
site Orleans street, and ending opposite the
James River Steam Brewery. A channel 10
feet wide, and now with not less than 16 feet
OF water at mean high-tide, has been exca-
Vateu. over much of the space the depth
now exceeds l8 feet at mean high-tide. In one
month OF good weather for submarine work
uniform depth Of 18 feet win he secured,
and channel thrown open to general use.
The south side of the channel will then be
eXcafatcd. The most exposed points have
been drilled, and are now ready for blasting.
"A large mass of rock opposite the Old Do
nilnlon Steamship Company's wharf was
blasted and removed.
"The ledges just above Gillie's creek, Sc
rlous Inconvenience to vessels seeking the
upper part OF the harbor and dock, lias been
drilled, aud will be blasted and removed Us
soon as the new channel through the reef is
ready for general Use. The wrecks of the
Patrick Henry and Ben Sheppard sfopposite
Orleans street, have been raised and de-
stroyed.
"THE DIVERS
OF the Government have been of great as.
sistance to ils city in Singing the large
masses Of rock encountered in dredging. The
city machines, in furtherance of the opera.
tlons of the United States Engineer, have
been uscd so rs to reduce the cost of the
work and expedite its completion"
Captain Thomas Cunningham, of the tug
Frank Summers, has been very efficient in
the discharge of the various duties incident
TO his position; and the report concludes
with compliment to the various officers I'm

| faithful in the discli2rac of their duties

natural deposits Of these streams is as drop

fact all the atiluents of the upper James pour

In this opinion am sustained by Colonel
