company for the construction of a
great interoceanic canal from the
state of Oaxaca, utilizing the Santa

terprise is to he secured through

capitalized at s29O,OOO.OOO. This
is to be Incorporated under the
laws of Missouri, with the home
Office in st. Louis.
The canal wonld be much more
feasible undertaking than the Pan.
anna canal, il is said, since il would
pass through country where the
climate is exceptionally fine. II
would traverse the states of CHA
pas, Oaxaca and Tabasco, whereas
the Panama canal would 90
through Il jungle, whose climate
is deadly with fevers, malaria aud
other diseases indigenous to the
tropics
One of the chief promoters Of
the enterprise is DR. Mariana Me.
dina, Of Durango, an engineer of
great note in Mexico. He passed
through this city few days ago
enroute to st. Louis, where he ex.
poets to perfect the organization
Of his company.
1t is claimed that the proposed
canal route is shorter and more
