ent condition of the studies for the
Panama Canal. It remains to compare
the project with that at Nicaragua.
The details of the latter are so fully
presented in the report of the Govern
ment Commission of 1896 and accom-
panying documents, and are so we'll
known in America, that "a recapitulation
in detail is not required here. The new
commission, of which Admiral Walker
is president, has as yet made no formal
report; but the individual views of the
three members were given in so much
detail at the hearing before the Senate
Select Committee in June last, that the
notifications likely to be recommended
may be inferred. The essential fea-
lures Of the project are the following:
The whole length of the route is 1867
miles. OF this distance about 67h
miles lie in the bed of crooked river
through which must pass the outflow of
Lake Nicaragua, draining some three
thousand square miles, and about 57M
miles in the Lake itself, calling for from
10 to IA miles Of dredging in soft mud.
The summit-level is fixed at 10 feet
above mean tide; and both of the Gov
ernment commissions recognize the ex-
treme difficulty of regulating this level
so as to avoid, on the one hand, flooding
valuable district on the Pacific side of
the Lake and ,on the other hand exposing
rocks in the bed of the Upper San Juan,
where there are several bad rapids to be
drowned or excavated before ship
channel is possible.
The Nicaragua Canal Company advo-
Gates two principal dams, one at Ochoa
on the San Juan, and the other at La
Flor west of the Lake; but as the latter
was regarded as impracticable by the
Ludlow Commission, and apparently is
not favored at the projected height by
the Walker Commission, it will be left
out Of consideration. The Ochoa dam
presents serious difficulties; and al
though the present commission has sue
ceeded in finding rock bottom at great
depth (Admiral Walker estimates it
Haupt at 60 feet, below sea.level, .. e.,
at 80 to 85 feet and 100 feet respectively
below the deepest part of the bed of the
sented for modifying the loose rock and
clay dam heretofore regarded as neces-
sary. This construction is without
precedent in canal engineering; and
Admiral Walker says of it.: "Of course
dam of loose rock would have to be
enormous in size; it would be like mov-
ing hill into the river"
But the alternative of digging from
so to 100 feet to reach foundations in the
bed of a river which cannot be tempo
rarily diverted, and then of raising
masonry mass to height of $50 or ITO
feet above this newly discovered rock
bed, is not an easy or a safe undertake
ing. Moreover, to hold the summit
level at 10 feet, enormous embank-
ments are required in the San Francisco
basin. They are sixty-seven in number
and six miles in length; and some of
them will rise from 60 to 85 feet above
soft mud, which must be excavated to
depth of 80 feet to reach clay founda-
ton. The chief engineer of the Com
pany regards these embankments as
''the weakest feature of the whole
route; and they appear to have i'm
pressed the present commission, as they

cavatlOn called for Ill the deep cutting
at Culebra and Emperador, which will
largely determine the duration of the
work. The deeper this cut, the longer
will be the time required to complete
the Canal, and, consequently, the
greater will be the outlay in general ex-
penses of administration, interest on the
funds to be raised, loss of revenue, etc.
These are important elements Of ex-
pense, sometimes neglected in estimates.
Basing the rate of probable excavation
chiefly upon the experience acquired by
the old company in operating on a
large scale, checked by that of the new
company in operating under many dis
advantages upon small scale, it has
been computed that there will be re-
quired to complete the project of Level
9634 feet about eight years, and longer
proportionally for the other projects.
But it must not be forgotten that the
old company has been criticised, per-
haps justly, for the mode adopted by its
contractors in prosecuting the work;
rapidity of execution not having been
made an object to be specially sought.
Also that great improvements have been
introduced during the past ten years in
machines and methods. tits, therefore,
not unreasonable to expect that, with
these improvements, and with better
stipulations in the contracts, these
estimates of time, at least for the higher
levels, may be notably reduced, and
excessive incide tai expenses for inter.
est, etc., be thus avoided. To be con-
vinced of this, it is sufficient to con-
slider the rapidity attained in excavating
the shlp-canals Of Manchester and Kiel,
and especially the drainage channel at
Chicago, where such great advances
were made.
1t is great merit so to have adjusted
the projects as to be able to pass readily
from one to the other, if experience in
the progress of the work should show
this to be desirable. But how is this
advantage to be secured? Simply by so
adjusting the different levels as to per-
NIT the change to be made by omitting
upper locks-thus calling for ten, Or
eight, or six locks, in the three projects,
respectively.
All three projects require dam at
into vast lake, of which the bound
aries have been accurately determined.
It will extend distance of 13 miles to
Obispo, where the Canal leaves the
River, and will cover an area of about
21I So. miles, Its lowest level is fixed
at 521a feet, it's normal level at 55A
feet, and its highest level at 651a feet
above mean tide. 1t thus provides a
reservoir to retain one hundred and
ninety six million cubic yards of flood
discharge, which, with one hundred and
thirty million more held back at Alba
juela in the Upper Chagres, will effect
lively control the torrential stream. Two
locks will admit ships coming from the
Atlantic into this lake. Thence. to at
tain the summit-le at Elevation 96A
feet, three locks will be required-all at
Obispo while for elevation 50 feet two
will suffice, and for Elevation 3234 feet,
one only, or perhaps none, will be ne
cessary. The descent to the Pacific is
made for the three projects, respective
ly, by two locks at Paraiso, two at
Pedro Miguel, and one at Mirafores or
by one lock at Paraiso, two at Pedro
Mipnel and nna at Mirafinres. Or hu

length divided by set OF intermediate
gates, and width of SO feet. The
maximum lift is 291a feet, except that
provision for 3234 feet is made at Bohio,
when, very rarely, and then only for
few hours, the lake may rise to maxi
mum food-level.
With respect to alignment of the
Canal the following are the conditions
adopted: The curves not to have
radius less than 5000 feet, which ex-
perience has shown to be required for
easy navigation the depth to be 2911
feet, with provision at the locks for 31L
feet should an increase ever become
desirable the cross-section never to fall
below about three times the midship
section of the vessels which will navi-
gate the Canal; ample enlargements,
at distances not exceeding 81 miles, for
ships to pass each other; bottom-widths
Of 164 feet in Lake Bohio and 9ST feet
in the central part; retaining the exist
ing width (7214 feet) in the Atlantic
level, to be enlarged to 981a feet after
the Canal is opened to navigation, 9S8
feet in the Pacific level, and 1854 feet in
the channel extending through the bay
from La Boca to Isle Naos where the
Canal terminates.
| Only two large dams are required
the first at Bohio, creating a lake which,
besides acting as flood. regulator, will
obviate the necessity of encountering
strong currents where the route trav-
erses the bed of the Chagres, very i'm
portant matter for ocean shipping; aud
the second at Alhajuela, in the Upper
River, to assist in controlling the floods,
to supply the summit-level in the dry
season, and to furnish hydraulic power,
transmitted by electricity for operating
the Canal.
The dam at Bohio will be of earth
revetted with stone, with foundation
bed of clay and abutting against rock
banks The extreme length Of crest is
1886 feet, the extreme height above the
bed of the river is 751a feet, and above
the lowest point Of the foundation 931s
feet. All details of construction, in
Guiding the devices for controlling the
River during the progress of the work,
have been carefully elaborated, and
will command the confidence of engi-
neers. The sites for the two overflow
weirs are remote from the dam; and an
abundance of excellent material is found
near at hand.
The dam at Alhajuela, about ten
miles from the Canal, is to be of con-
crete masonry, founded on compact
rock, and abutting against rock walls.
The extreme length of crest is 1861
feet; the extreme height above the bed
of the river is 13411s feet, and above the
lowest point of the foundation 164 feet.
The cross-section and the practical de-
tails Of construction are in accordance
with all the requirements of modern
engineering. Good rock and sand are
abundant in the immediate vicinity.
To connect this reservoir with the
summit level, feeder 10 miles long,
starting at 1904 feet above sea-level is
required. 1t traverses a rough country,
and it's construction will be relatively
costly; but when compared with many
of our irrigating canals west of the
Mississippi it offers no serious diff.
culties.

RICH LEAD MINES.
Discovered in Tennessee by Civ
il Engineer.

Major j. m. Burns Of this Place Inter-
ested In Them-Specimens Show AL
most Incredible Amount of Pure
Lead-Ore of Enormous Thickness.
Major j. M. Burns of the Univers
ity is interested in some extremely
rich lead mines IN Tennessee. These
mines are just being opened. How
rich they are is problematical at
least to the enormous extent OF the
workings.
The mines were accidently discov-
cred by civil engineer who was
running a line through the state.
He told a friend of his in Columbus
and investigation showed that the
ore outcropped for mile or so along
a hill.
Two farms werc leased and the
ledge was opened. 1t has been pen
etrated for depth of 80 feet and
the bottom has not been found.
How much deeper 1t is it is not
known of course.
Another striking thing about 1t is
that there Is not only an immense bed
of it but 1t Is of SURPRISING richness.
Specimens taken from the mine have
run as high as 90 per cent OF lead.
Several others go away above so per
cent. Specimens have been analysed
at the Experiment Station by DR.. b.
FL. Hite that 81 per cent.
This Is much richer than the lead
mines OF Missouri from which SO
much of the metal is obtained. The
discovery has caused tremendous
sensation in that part of the state and
the lead trust has had its agents Sc
cure all the land Ia the vicinity which
was not taken up by the company in
which Major Burns is interested.
Shelters will be put Ia shortly but
| in the meantime the ore is being sent
away to be reduced.
Specimens OF the ore were shown to
a representative OF this paper to-day
by the Major. It is very rich in lead
and the mines are bound to prove
enormously productive.
Lead mines are being worked in the
same state in which the per cent OF
| lead is but II. This shows what an
advantage the other one has in point
of profit.
The ore is easy OF access and the
workings will not be attended with
very great expense.
Every one here is glad to know OF
Major Burns good fortune and they
congratulate him on his lucky t1nd.
He has visited the mine and is very
much pleased with the outlook.

The Big Whale.

1t draws crowds. We find many
of our best citizens winding their
way to the public landing to view
the monster. 1t has been a great at
traction in other cities and no doubt
will be in this. To behold a genuine
Whale is sight very few people
ever had an opportunity to do even
on the sea coast and it is still more
rare to see one so far from the ocean
as this. but never the less i,y walk
ing to the landing you will find on
the decks OF peculiar looking boat
a whale in length IS feet, and when
captured weighing rs tons. The
monster has MANY very interesting
points of interest to lovers OF natur-
al history and is well worth going
miles to see. Pay the monster a
visit and you will never regret it'll
