WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The an
nual report of Col. Mendeil Of the
Board of U. s. Engineers says OF
Wilmington harbor Improvements:
The principal alterations of the past
year copsisted in dredging for the
purpose of widening the channel
through the reef which lies west OF
Deadman's Island. The depth OF
the channel continues to improve
and there is now a good chanuel
over ten feet deep at low water.
Mendell says it is quite possible 10
increase the depth of this channel
to Is or 16 feet at low water by the
excavation OF the reef aud by the ex
tension of jetties. A careful estimate e
shows the probable cost of these
operations to be about $292, 900,
which could be eadvantageousiy ex.

tions were made. Col. Mendeil in
his report says that the increase OF
