Constructing the
Main Lateral Canals.

The number of men and teams en-
ployed along the canal is being daily
increased. Along the line Of the big
ditch, the air is rife with activity and
life. Sub-contractors are arriving every
few days and starting camps.
Brooks and Baglan have started a
camp near Johnson's camp. and are
working large number of men and
teams. These gentlemen are success
fully operating a machine excavator,
being the first contractors on the ditch
to accomplish such work. In every
other instance since the great under
taking was first started. attempts to
successfully handle the machine proved
failures.
Harris & Deacon are at work on
their contract on Division 7, above
Harriman's. They employ 90 head of
stock and many men.
Contractor Beard is expected to ar
rive early next week and start opera
tions on Division A.
Joe Barbeau has started his camp
or Division S. which is just below town,
and is employing all men available.

to be closed. The proprietress stood
pat against the officer from entering

New Mining Law.

5 A ruling, affecting the boundaries
OF most all recent mining locations
throughout the West. has Just been
sent out from Washington by the Sec
.retary Of the Interior. It is based
upon an Act passed by Congress last
February. and requires that the des-
cription of vein or ledge claims on sur
veyed land must designate the lines
with reference to the Government sur
lvey, but need not conform Herewith.
Where patents have been issued for
claims on unsurveyed lands, the Sur
veyor General shall adjust extended
surveys to the boundaries as patented
and not change to true location.
Patented lands shall be engaged by the
lines actually marked on the ground by
monuments of the official survey.
The official monuments shall, at all
times, constitute the highest authority
and shall govern in case Of dispute.
The Secretary says If an official mine
raj survey is within reasonable distance,
line from locations should be run to
the corner thereof All conflicts may
be Strengthened out thereby. Patents.
in no case, are to be allowed without
the applicant has filed a plant and filed
notes. showing accurately the claim or
claims, which shall be distinctly marked
by monuments on the ground. The
descriptions must conform to the public
surveys, if known, by stating their re-
laticn to the monuments placed by the
deputy mineral surveyors as above in
dicated.
This means that engineers will have
to go into the field again and re- survey
where such requirements have not been
compiled with. and will cause the ex-
penditure of thousands of dollars by
claim owners throughout the West.

Mining at

lhe ore reserves in the Emma l.
Mine are constantly increasing, and
continued development is showing ore
that has values on the order Of the old
Comstock. This is what the camp
stands more in need of than any other
one thing. if it is 10 know progress.
The free milling prospects have, in
the past, received nearly all of the time
and attention Of miners and prospectors.
ne mining expenditures have been
largely within the belt where ores are
Tree. The result is that judgment. for
or against the district, has been based
upon the records Of only small area,
and the properties therein can hardly
be said to have been intelligenty pros
pected at all times. What stands to
the record Of the camp may be readily
traced to the experienced and prac-
tical few that have now and then come
into temporary control of develope-
ment work. Those few men have.
with the assistance of able miners,
made remarkable showing from time
to time. 1t is to te regretted that
such men have been limited in autho-
rity, for no fearful soul need ever ex-
pect to find Bonanza in the district.

MEXICO DENIES MAKING
OFFER ABOUT PANAMA
Government Says Report That Chile
Was Consulted Is Without
Foundation

MEXICO CITY. Feb. 2t.-The Gov
ernment official organ denies that
Mexico has addressed a note to Chile,
expressing itself favorably regarding
recognition Of the republic of Panama,
but intimating a desire to extend that
recognition Jointly with the Govern
ment of Chile in order that it might
carry greater moral force.
The official paper says the foregoing
lacks foundation, for the Mexican Gov
ernment has addressed no note on the
subject to the Government of Chile.
1t has done nothing more than en-
deavor, through it's representatives, to
ascertain the sentiment and policy Of
other governments of this continent
regarding the matter without endeav-
oring to act in concert with any of
them.

RESULT KNOWN TUESDAY
After DispOSing of the Panama
Question the Senate Will
Take Up Agricultural Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The Pana-
ma Canal question will continue to
hold the exclusive attention of the Sem
ate until next Tuesday, when voting
will begin on the treaty. 1t is probable
that the doors of the chamber will be
closed the most of the time the treaty
is under consideration Monday and
Tuesday. Senator Morgan has prepared
number of amendments, and if Of
fered they will be presented in execu-
tive session. Morgan probably will
speak on some of his amendments, but
the prospect is that very few other Sen
ators will desire further to discuss the
treaty or any amendment to 1t. All
amendments will be voted down. There
will be only sixteen or seventeen votes
or pairs against the ratification of the
convention. Senator Hoar will prob
ably make another speech before the
vote is taken.
With the Panama question disposed
of the Senate will take UP appropria-
tion bills, giving preference to the ag-
ricultural bill. There are features in
this measure which will arouse opposi-

sion and army bills.
Monday being Washingtons birthday
the Senate will listen to the reading of
Washington's farewell address by SEN
ator Hepburn of Idaho.
The House has the naval bill under
debate and at the proper time it is
probable rule will be brought in
making the item in the bill providing
for a training station on the great
lakes in order. 1t is expected that a
contest will ensue over the location of
the station Notice has been given by

propose an amendment to the naval

At the first lull during the week the
bill providing for committee to in

industry may be called up under a rule
limiting debate to a few hours. Fol-
lowing the Indian and district bills
will come the postoffice appropriation

appropriation bills are all out of the
way by Friday the private claims or

The Corinthian Canal.

Speaking of canals" said the en-
gineer who had been talking about Pan
anna, "a very interesting canal and one
not much heard of. is that connecting
the gulf of Corinth and the gulf Of
Aegina, in Greece. It's some older than
any we have in the western hemisphere,
also, for Periander, tyrant of Corinth,
proposed to cut through the isthmus as
long ago as 600 years before Christ.
Superstition stopped him, however. Ju-
Illus Caesar and Caligula took it up
again when Rome had hold of Greece,
but it was too much for them. Then
came Nero, and he went at Ii with
vigor. but the work stopped when he
died. Others kept pounding away at 1t
for the next several hundred years, but
it was not until 1881 that real work Of
the Nero energy was put upon It, Then
General Turr, aid-de-camp to Victor
Emmanuel of Italy, organized a COM
pany and worked on till the money
gave out, in 1890, the chief obstacle be-
ing some kind of a flint which dynamite
couldn't break.
About s1O,OO0,OOO was spent up to
1890, and then Mr.. Snygros took hold,
organized a new company with 1866, 900
working capital and finished the job in
1893 1t is only about four miles long,
but it is sixty mine feet wide at the bot
tom, about eighty at water line. twen-
ty-six feet three inches deep in water
and it is cut nearly all the way through
solid rock, rising at some points for
269 feet above the canal 1t is like a
canyon and ships do not take kindly
to it, the entrance being bad, strong
wind blowing through it as through a
great air shaft, and there is at times d
strong reverse current. 1t is an inter
esting trip through the canal. and it
saves 123 miles of very rough water
and twenty hours Of time; but so far
shippers prefer to go around the penin-
sula rather than through the canal,
though with some changes which will
be made it is believed the canal will be-
come of general use as soon as few
ships begin to use it and remove the
prejudice now existing against it.
