REMOVING RocK FROM DRAINAGE CHANNEL.
Ishowing cantalever dirt elevator in the dis.
tance.1
TO get the work through because of the
vast outlay of money that would have
been necessary.
"Reverting for q little to the naviga.
tion part of the. scheme, it ought to be
made clear to your readers that the
Hennepin canal. which connects the Il
linois and Mississippi rivers, is not to
be used Al a link in the chain at all
The Mississippi is much higher at the
point where 1t is joined by the canal
than is the Illinois where the canal
leaves 1t, and therefore a large number
of locks are necessary between the two
streams. The route down the Illinois,
after Lockport, is gently sloping, 80
for very few, IL any, locks, although
there are now several dams in the river
that serve practically the same purpose
az locks. The flow of water through the
channel after the work is completed will
be so much greater than the present
flow that all necessity for these dams
will disappear"
the worlds various famous canals with
those of Chicago's drainage canal may
not be uninteresting at this point. Cross
sections are given with this article, by
which the relative size may be seen at
q glance. The new Manchester ship
canal is similar TO the Chicago one in
size, but that is SO only in the rock
cuts. At such points the Manchester
canal is 10 feet the wider, but in the
earth cuts the drainage ditch is 400 feet
wide at the bottom and 800 at the top,
while the other in earth cuts is only $50
and 172. The Suez canal Is but 70 feet
wide at the bottom anywhere. It's top
width varies from 100 to 328, but the
latter adds nothing to its navigable ca
pacity, as ships of heavy draft cannot
venture away from the 70 foot channel
In the center. The Panama canal was
projected to be ~ and rs feet wide at
bottom In different places and from 1O1
to 164 wide at the top. Both these canals
are deeper than the drainage canal, how
ever, by about 6 feet. The Erie canal,
the most pretentious artificial waterway
I'm the United States of any length, is
but 90 feet wide at the bottom and 10
ut the top and 2 feet deep.
There ARE many reasons for believing
that the Erie will never be enlarged 50
Ms to make q link in the proposed chain
Of artificial waterways, for moi only
would the cost or enlargement proper be
enormous, but the right OF way through
the thickly settled state Of New York
would be expensive beyond all practical
limits. CHARLES APPLEBEE.

works; then conveyed by ore cars to the
top house Of the stamp mill. There it
passes through crushers and drops down
another story, there to be fed to the bat
teries and pounded to dust or what
would be dust were it not that each
battery is filed to the. proper height
with water. Each battery has five
stamps and is charged with the requisite
quantity Of "quick" to pick up every
particle Of flour gold as it is released
from it's prison house In the rock, dur
ing the process OF pulverization by the
stamps. The constant commotion of the
water by the action OF the stamps throws
the water over a sort of "slash board"
carrying along with it small quantities
of amalgamated gold and quicksilver,
which in passing over a FURNISHED cop
per apron about 6 by 0 feet, is picked up
by the copper plate, and becomes firmly
attached thereto. At stated periods
these plates are washed clean with pure
water and light brushes, and when a
sufficient quantity Of the amalgam has
accumulated on the plates, the stamps
of the battery are stopped, the plates
again washed clean and the amalgam
scraE ed off. 1t is once more carefully
washed and put through a retort, which
vaporizes the quicksilver, condenses and
deposits it in a separate receptacle, leav-
ing the gold ready to be cast into bricks,
and the quicksilver ready for use again
in the batteries. The three mills are all
in close proximity, which are known as
the Golden Star mill, 100 stamps; the
Highland mill, 40 stamps; the Star mill,
100 stamps; In all $50 stamps, capable Of
reducing about 700 IONS of ore daily.

President Havemeyer of the sugar
trust and President Cleveland Of the
United States are at loggerheads and it
would appear that Mr.. Havemeyer
would get ever with Mr.. Cleveland's
message recommendation that the trusts
protection for refining sugar should be
knocked off, by saying that the country
has already passed upon Mr.. Cleveland's
policy and does not approve of throwing
working men out of employment. To
knock off the ditferential, he says,
would throw $4,000 people out OF en-
ployment and strike a death blow at
the interests of the working men," He
demi nds for the sugar industry the
same protection as other industries are
receiving al the hands OF a democratic
tariff, about 40 per cent, and feels very
hard at Mr.. Cleveland because the latter
in substance says thesugar refining bus
mess ought to float on it's own bottom or
g down. AS Mr.. Havemeyer contribut-
ed literally towards Mr.. Cleveland's
election, this ingratitude on the party of
the latter Is inexplicable to MIR. Have
m syer and very annoying.

The great subject of journalistic con-
troversy at the present time is the mer-
its OF the proposed new currency plan
proposed by Comptroller Eckles and en-
dorsed by Mr.. Cleveland. The idea was
originated by a Mr. Rhodes in a paper
read by him before the convention of
bankers at Baltimore a short time ago.
1t proposes a new basis for a national
currency, the withdrawal of g~reenbacks
and treasury notes, the abolition of the
national bank currency now based on
bonds and no f~urt.er issue Of currency
OF any kind by the government. On the
other hand 1t claims to provide for a
more elastic currency according to the
needs OF business, by allowing banks to
Issue all credit currency, the circulation
OF each bank to be based upon it's assets
to an amount equal to at least 80 per
cent OF its unimpared capital by paying
a one half OF n per cent on this circu-
latloE, and an additional % per cent of
It's unlmpaired paid up capital as an
emergency circulation" subject to the
one half of one per cent tax and an ad-
ditional heavy yearly tax. An advance
assessment Of 5 per cent shall be paid by
all banks to the United States treasurer,
TO create a redemption fund with which
to redeem the notes OF a failed bank at
any time. This is to be paid back from
the assets OF the bank or these failing
by the liabilities Of the stockholders.
And right here comes in the strongest
objection To the Baltimore or MI. Eckles'
plan. Ii leaves no redress or security to
deposltors OF a broken bank. It's assets
and double assessment of stockholders
which now protect the depositor, would
under Mr.. Eckles' plan go to redeeming
circulation first and what was left after
the possible 70 per cent had gone to re-
deem circulating notes, might be applied
TO paying depositors. But usually the
other % per cent Of a busted" banks
assets are ~valueless. The depositors
would have no protection. This looks
to- much like the old "wild cat" banking
system to become popular with the PEG.

THE SILVER STATUE.

Claimed That There Has Been n Plan
Matured to Steal 1t.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The silver statue
of the actress Ada Rehan is under the
guard of half q dozen detectives, as the
result of the discovery of a plot to
steal the valuable image. The statre
has been on exhibition at the retail
store of Carson, Prize, Scott g. Co., and
recently a man representing himself as
an employee of the Montana Statue COM
pany, owners of the statue, called at
the store and secured the address of
the night Waterman. After clos
ing hours the man presented
to the night Waterman an order
signed by the Montana company, say
ing that General Manager Higbee, of
the company, was dead. and asking
that the statue be delivered to the
bearer. the Waterman refused 10
honor the order, despite the mans pro-
tests, and the detectives who are work
ing Oh the case claim that a we'll.
planned conspiracy has been laid to
steal the statue, and, after melting it
down, to dispose of the silver.

thence through the drainage canal down,
the Illinois and Mississippi river to the
gulf. 1t will likely be o long time be-
fore SO much is accomplished, but not SO
long perhaps as you imagine. for this is
the age of canal development. and things
are moving rapidly In this last end of
the nineteenth century, and they will
move with even greater rapidity in the
twentieth. No one who realizes what
the railroad development OF the United
States has been during the past half
century can for a moment doubt great
possibilities for the future. Now, az the
railroads are pretty much all built, it is
time for the era of cheaper though slow
err water transportation to begin, but
perhaps it is not necessary to go into de-
tails on this point at this time.
"At present there are ut work on the
drainage canal between 3. 900 and 6, 900
men. At one time fully 8, 900 men were
employed, and it is quite likely that as
large q number may again find work
upon it. The preliminary expenses Of
organization, surveys, ETC., were about
$500, 900. the right of way cost %, $780,
600, and the excavating has cost about
90, 165, 600. q grand total to Nov. 1,
say, of about $40, 600, 000. Although
the law allows q current of three miles
IN hour, not more than from IL to al
miles IN hour flow win actually obtain,
and this will surely not interfere with
navigation up the stream.
"We have had many difficulties to
contend with that would not appear to
the layman upon inspection. For in
stance, at point, where we have TO
deepen and widen the bed of the Illinois
river, we have been obliged to make q
new channel, called the spillway, for
the water now flowing to pass through,
while the main work Is in progress.
This has been a very interesting piece
OF engineering of itself and has excited
the admiration Of engineers generally.
Many new and ingenious pieces Of ma
chinery for excavating rapidly and Geo.
nomically have been devised. One of
these, designed to do the work of hun
dreds Of men at an immense saving,
was recently set up at a cost Of $35, 600.
Il had hardly been adjusted before o
high wind threw down an insecurity
placed prop to the money damage Of the
contractor Of not less than $40, 900 in
repairs and a delay Of perhaps two
months, which will cost him q further
large sum. The cantalever dirt eleva-
tors r interesting c~ontrivances, by the
use Of which q great amount of money
Is saved, and all along the line the con-
tractors have made use of every sort of
invention by which to expedite their
work and conserve economy. It is not
too much to say that without these
modern machines for excavating it
would have been we'll nigh impossible

This is by odds the largest artificial
channel ever constructed, as will be-
seen by comparing the cross section Of
the Suez and other famous waterways.
