JAMESON & COLLINS FOUNDRY We were
much pleased by visit, to-day, 10 the foundry
aud machine shop Of Messrs. Jameson Il
Collins. They have just flashed torty-hve
horse power steam engine, for the Alexandria
Marine R ,ilway and Ship Bulldog Com
pauy, which would be credit to any estab-
lishmeut, but our admiration was particularly
called forth by the beauty and size OF an, lm-
meuse master geer aud pinion just turoed out
for the same company. These, castings are
simply perfect, and the fact of their being
with flaw or blemish, considering the
great size, and the weight of the material, Is
something wonderful, aud reflects great credit
on the skill aud car5tulness of their foreman,
Mr. Henry Sampson. The master geer wheel
is uiucty nine iuches in diameter, and eleven
and half iuches across the face, being one OF
the largest siugle castings ever poured at the
works Of Messrs. Jameson & Collins. The
geer aud p,uiop weigh nearly seven thousand
pounds We ieel a pardouable pride 10 speak
ing tavorably OF our Alexandria mechanics, when
We see such unanswerable evidences OF their
skill aud ahilitr.

THE PoToMAc RIVER The forthcoming re-
port of General Humphreys, chief of engineers,
which will accompany the Presidents message
to Congress, will contsin the following in rela-
ton to the Improvement of Washington har-
Dor
Under authority of Congress, commission,
designated by that body, considered the sub
ject of the further improvement of the Potomac
river, aud submitted report, which was
printed.
An appropriation OF $4,000 was made
March 8, 1913, which 1t was proposed 10 ex-
pend In 1873 lu dredging In the Virginia or
prlacpal channel to depth Of IA feet at low
water, aud along a part of the Washington
front to depth OF II feet at low water, the
main idea being 50 to use the money as to Ell
feet an immediate benefit TO commerce, while
conforming, as far as practicable, to the plan
of Improvement recommended by the c0mmls-
sion.
Favorable proposals for carrying out this
proposition were received IN August, 1878,
but, from causes unexpected and beyond cun-
troll, they could not be accepted. Tue money
is still available, aud it is supposed may be ex
peuded shortly, inasmuch as the will of Cou-
sress has been indicated by special legislation
contained 10 the appropriation bill OF June 70,
1874
The officer in charge estimates that IT 1t
should be decided by Congress to carry out the
plan Of Improvement suggested by the Com
mission not less than 2,OOO0OO should DC APP
propriated for the first years work, otherwise
that $4,000 will be required to CONTINUE the
