SAN ANTONIO TEX, Aug. l Mr.. c.
R. Mattlock, ex-city engineer of San An
tonic and who is now in charge of the
work of securing a deep water port at the
mouth of the Brazos, arrived in
the city yesterday. Mr.. Mattlock
says that the reports of injury
to the works by recent freshets in the
Brazos river were greatly exaggerated.
The late sudden rise washed out little

but this. slight damage was converted to
benefit by the upvarying. law

increased current gave the, channel

feet further seward at which
point there is constant depth
of eight feet. We expect to
have the jetties built out beyond the east
bar by December, or January at the
latest, and then the current will sweep
the bar away as easily as if no resistance
were afforded it at all. One and a half
miles from the mouth of the river there
Is q depth Of forty feet. The harbor af-
forded5by the river is $50 feet wide, and
with the assistance of the ietty works
we will in a short time have an excellent
entrance to the coast of Texas capable CT
accommodating the largest crafts afloat.
The projectors of the scheme have,u nlim-
tied capital at their command, and are de.
termined to solve the deep water problem
for Texas and all the vast commerce
back of the state seeking a safe and
commodious outlet to the high seas. Our
working force now numbers something
over two hundred men and will be in
creased if found necessary to complete
the work by the date mentioned.
