The above table shows that while
the total distance from ocean to
ocean remains practically the same
there will be SO miles less pxcava-
ton. This will reduce the estimated
cost of the work from S65, 600, 900 10
$50, 600, 600.
The health Of the expedition CON
firms all previous reports and stats
tics regarding The climate of Nicara-
qua. though the men were OK pos
ed to rain aud sun, sometimes work
ing waist deep in swampS, and after
a return to camp often forced to sleep
in damp clothing, there was not one
case of serious illness during the en-
tire six months. The only death
was the unfortunate suicide of a de-
mrnted engineer. Such exposure
and hardshiDs in any section of The
United States could hardly give more
gratifying results.
In The region of perpetual trade
winds the air is kept in constant mo-
ton, thus preventing s~tagnation,
which in a tropical climate is sure to
produce malaria. The fatal fever of
Panama is wholly unknown in this
section of the isthmus.
Civil Engineer J. T. Ford, to
whom was intrusted the control OF
the Jamaica labourers, reports that
those recently returned to their
homes appeared IN better health than
when they sailed on The Ilondo last
fall, and all seemed so pleased with the
country that they were anxious to be
re-engagcd. Labour forms the most
important factor III amy construction
work, and the enormous sick mud
death roll of Panama has undOubted-
ly been an important element in its
failure. Few unacclimated strangers
are able to withstand the fatal MAS
ma OF the Chagres.
Construction will begin next fall,
though the preliminary work on the
restoration OF Greytown harbour will
not cease at all. Ensign w. j. Max
well, of the navy, assisted by Messrs.
NJ. Craven and p. B. Cooke, has made
a thorough and detailed photographic
survey Of the harbour and prepared a
chart showing the forces at work
tending to destroy the port.
An examination of the amount of
dredging that must be done at Grey
town and the facilities Of the port for
subsisting the forces and locating plant
was made in connection with the pre-
sent survey by Mr.. w. P. Williams,
junior member American Society of
Civil Engineers. Mr.. Williams re-
presented an American syndicate who

west of the lake. From that point
the canal extends ensIerIy. and cut
ting across the divide with a maxi
mum depth of Aid feet above the
surface Of the water, reaches the
lake 16.9 miles from the Pacific ter
minus. The summit Of the divide cut
through by the canal, about $50 teet
above the sea level, is the lowest de-
preston across the American iSthmus.
For the next ninety miles all is
clear sailing. For that distance the
course ofthe canal lies through the
blue waters of Lake Nicaragua, with
the mountains of Chontalee mark
ing the way to Fort San Carlos,
whore the lake blends with the Rio
San Juan. Through all this distance
twenty eight feet Of water can be
carried to within 2,400 feet of the
west shore and eight miles of Fort
San Carlos. For the former distance
dredging and rock excavation are
necessary, and in the latter mud must
be removed to an average depth Of
IS feet TO extend deep water from
shore to shore. Other parts of the
lake are very deep.
The canal then follows the river
San Juan for a distance OF slxty-four
miles from the lake to Ochoa, Just
below the confluence Of the River
San Carlos. Here a dan is proposed,
1885 feet long and 81 feet nigh,
which will back the water of the river
the entire distance of the lake, main
tanning the surface of the latter at
the proposed level of 40 feet. The
upper part of the river thus deepened
and widened will be converted into
an extension of the lake, at no place
less than 1000 feet wide, and, with
the exception of the first % miles
from the lake, the depth gradually
increases from % to 1870 feet. With
in those % miles dredging and rock
excavation to an average depth of
four feet will be needed for a distance
of "a miles. The dam IS located be
tween rock abutments, and is pro,
posed to be built of concrete resting
on rock foundations 20 feet below the
present water level. A brenk in the
bills above this dam confines the
river on the north and forms an
admirable basin at the entrance OF
the canal.
At this point the canal leaves the
river, and, after q run of over half a
mile through the basin, it cuts across
a broken country for about " miles
and enters the valley of a picturesque
creek called the San Francisco. This
creek runs nearly parallel to the
San Juan, from which it is separated
by a range of hills, to a point about
nine miles from the dam, then, re-
ceiving a tributary from the northeast
turns abruptly to the south and
empties into the San Juan. It's val
ley forms an irregular, hattened Y,
with it's foot resting on the San Juan,
one arm extending westerly to within
a short distance of the dam at OchOa,
the other easterly in the direction of
Greytown. Across the stem of this
ER

the ridge, between the Creek San
Francisco and the Rio Deseado, to
within twenty miles of Greytown.
Beginning at the eastern extremity
Of this basin the canal cuts through
the dividing ridge, the summit of
which is $50 feet above sea level,
and in a distance of 1920 feet in
which the average depth of the cutting
is 119l cetabove the water in the canal.
strikes the eastern slope of the divide.
This point is on the eastern terminus
OF the summit level extending from
the upper lock on the Pacific slope,
n distance of 144.8 miles. Here it
is proposed TO carve in the solid rock,
at the end OF the deep cut referred to,
the upper lock of the eastern branch,
and drop the level Of the canal. The
ground thence desccnds gradually to
the next lock, 81 miles below, where
another drop takes place; and the
canal for IL distance of about 8 miles
is cut through a broad, slightly in
clined valley. The last lock lowers
the canal to the level of the sea, and
