gfnn{.


The following dispatch, from Colonel An
drews, Is the first information that the deep.
ening of the channel at South Pass between
the jetties extended down to the crest of the
bar, over which there was originally ONLY
from seven and half to eight feet.

PoRT EADs. La, February 2, 1870.
James B. Eads, 81. Louis: Tug went out
over crest Of bar. Present depth, ten feet.
JAMES ANDREWS.
Previous advices stated that up to Deem
Der %. 1875, about one and quarter mil
lions Of cubic yards had been swept out from
above the crest of the bar without deepen
ing the water in the crest, but narrowing
the plateau Of the crest, which was about
1000 feet wide in May, 1870. The present
flood, it seems, is now degrading the crest
itself, and engineers will look with interest
for further information to learn If the mate
rial removed is being redeposited outside
the bar, and thus extending it. Up to De-
cember 25th there had been deepening out.

result not Anticipated by many who have
studied this problem. This experiment at
South Pass is one OF the most interesting Of
engineering operations, and if successful
will be of inestimable advantage to the city
Of New Orleans and the whole Mississippi
Valley.

those especially summoned for this case were
called over, but only half of them responded,
they having been selected from outside OF

ing had time to arrive.
Mr.. Storrs stated that the counsel for the

ton Judge Dillon answered that the case
could 90 over until tomorrow morning, but
