The JETTIES-Jamcs B. Eads, Chief
Enffineer in charge Of the construction
of the ietties at the mouth of the MissiS
slppi river, sums up the work thus far
in the concluding potion of his report os
follows:
ain seventeen months after tn" pass
age of the act, and within fourteen
months from the commencement of the
work, the jetties have solved the prob
lem presented at the mouth Of TIE river.
In their unfinished condition they have
withstood with but lrihing injury two
very severe storms, once surprising
in violence any known in that localities
for many years; they have de-
monstrated the entire ability Of the delta
formation to safely sustain the WORK,
necessary to control the river discharge;
they have not been overturned by mud
Jumps, or swallowed up i'll quicksands,
nor undermined by the river current;
and although largely over 100000 cubic
yards of earth have been swept out from
between them into the gulf, and the
channel across has been deepened from
eight or nine to twenty.one feet, no evil
dences Of reformation of the bar haze
yet occurred to Justify the belief that any
extension of them will be necessary"
