CANtDi'S SNIP CANAL.
An English syndicate said TO BE Ready to Con-

MONTREAL April ?7.-The surveys for
the proposed Georgian Bay. Ottawa and
Montreal Ship Canal have been complete ed
from the mouth Of the French River Ia
the ST. Anne's River near this city and
everything is In shape for the beginning
OF the work as soon as the promoters obtain
the necessary assistance from the Dominion
Government.
Johnston EdgerIy and Ernest Sawyer
Of London, representing the capitalists
who have recently acquired the charter
from the original promoters are now in
Canada and are preparing a memorial
which they will present TO the Government
setting forth the terms upon which the
company Is prepared 10 do the work. The
canal, il Is estimated, can be built for
Sos 900 600 and if the Canadian Government
will guarantee a certain percentage on this
expenditure or cooperate IN some other
way the canal will bc built

A NEW ENGINE.
Plant for its Manufacture May be
Started Shortly In this City.

Mr.. E. l.. Spencer of this city. is
the patentee of new kind of rotary
engine which may some day in the
near future mean great thing to
Canon City. as it is possible that a
plant for the manufacturing of the
engines will be started and which is
now being contemplated by interested
parties.
The principle feature about the
new engine is that it will save % per
cent of the steam and does away with
over half of the weight OF other
engines Of the same capacity. The
patent has been granted in the
United States and has been applied
for in Canada and England. Another
good thing about this engine is that
one of 10 horse power will only weigh
$50 pounds. A contract for the
manufacturing OF one of these
engines has been let to firm at
Florence who commenced work on it
Wednesday
J A. Armor, W. II. Dyer and G.
Brewer are furnishing the money for
the enterprise and hop- 10 realize
greatly on their investment.
Blue prints of the new engine have
been shown to machinists, who are
masters of their profession and they
all speak in the highest terms of it.
and say it will. without doubt, prove
one of the best engines ever invented.
MIR. Spencer, the inventor, is a ma
chinist and has been working on this
kind of an engine for 6 years.
The above mentioned gentlemen all
went to Florence yesterday to see to
the starting of The building of the
engine which they hop. will be com
pleted in 30 days. Only one engine
will be built at this time, the inten-
tion being to get good working
model which they will exhibit II the
engine comes uo to their expecta-
tions, a plant for the manufacture Of
them will at once be started. and
Canon City will be the city in which
the plant will be built.
A firm in Denver has offered 1000
for the privilege Of manufacturing
them and pay the stock holders a
bonus. but their offer was declined
as IL is believed more money can be
realized otherwise
II the new invention proves all
that he owners believe IL will. this
will be great thing for Canon City,
and as they are confident of success.
it will probably he short time until
the manufacturing OF the engines
will be commenced in this city.
