too long away from his work. Risk
taken for fear of losing an opportunity
to earn ones bread, has led to many q
mans death-and thu %coroner's jury
finds that it was due to his own careless
ness.
Mining companies should exercise
every care for the protection Of their
men, enforcing rules that will ensure
volve danger. There are cases-many of
them-where no foresight on the part of
the company or by the men can avoid
accidents, and the community can do no
more than bow to the inevitable. But
every intelligent man knows that by the
expenditure of a very small percentage
of their incomes the average mining
company could d greatly to the meas
ures of protection that should be thrown
around the ~tireless toiler in the bowels
of the earth.
1t is very seldom that a miner is killed
in the prospects and smaller mining
properties throughout the country. where
the ordinary safety appliances are in a
measure lacking. Is the experienced
workman Of Butte more careless than his
backwoods neighbor? Or, do the COM
panies fail to do their whole duty in at
fording the measures of safety which the
im%peratively demand?

The Nicaragua Canal Route Selected.

The lthmian Canal Commission which
has been carefully studying the various
proposed routes for an inter oeeauicica'
nal, has at last completed prelimina-
~ report, which the President yester-
day transmitted to Congress. The re-
port, although but a preliminary one,
gives Congress all the information nee
essary to know to enable that body to
reach a decision upon the route Of a ca
nal, should it be decided at the present
session to pass the legislation necessary
to constructs canal under the control
and auspices of this government.
The report of the commission de.
scribes the various routes and furnish,
es estimates of the cost of both of the
principal routes In detail. The COM
mission has decided unanimously in ia
vor Of the selection Of the Nicaragua
route, for the reason that a canal via
that route would be materially nearer
to the ports of the United States. and
would be freer from danger of foreign
interference.
The commission estimates that it
will take little over $500, 900, 900 to
construct the Nicaragua Canal, and
that it would take about ten years to
complete the work, This estimate is
larger than any previous estimate, but
the commission bases its figures on a
larger canal, having a depth of at least
IS feet of water through its entire
length, double locks and a minimum
width of $50 feet at the bottom.
Although the Isthmian Canal Com
mission 5 report is now before Congress
it does not necessarily follow that that
body will immediately adopt a canal
bill, although without doubt efforts
will be made in that direction at the
present session. Tt is significant that

Mckinley makes no comments what.
