You are up against it

Culebra, a sea level canal. free from
the restriction of locks, should be
adopted. This committee believes that
such a, canal with terminal harbors,
can be constructed for a, sum not ex-
ceedfng $780, 100000
1.-The advantages of a sea level canal
across the iSthmus are most obvious.
It would be a waterway with no re-
striction to navigation and which
could easily be enlarged by widening
or deepening at any time in the future,
without any inconvenience to the ship
ping using it; whereas, a lock canal is
in reality a permanent restriction to
the volume of traffic and size of ships
that use it. Although it is possible to
design and construct locks adapted to
future Transformation to a sea level
canal that transformation cannot be
made without serious inconvenience
to navigation and at a cost so great
as to be excessive.
1.-THE additional cost of a sea level
canal over that of a canal with locks
with a summit level of sixty feet above
mean tide is $52,462, 900, or $79,742,-
600 more than the estimated cost of
the lock canal with a summit level
eighty-five feet above mean tide, pro-
posed by the former isthmian canal
commission. after allowing $500, 900
for the Colon breakwater and direct
entrance not previously estimated.
This committee considers this addi-
tiona1 expenditure fully justified by the
advantages secured

MANY MINERS KILLED.
Explosion in a Shaft in the West Vir-

Bluefield, w Va, Feb. 27.-As a re-
suit of an explosion in shaft No. 1 of the
United States Coal and Coke company
at Wincoe twenty three miners lost
their lives and it is possible that the
number will exceed this. Fifteen dead
bodies have been taken from the shaft.
A large rescuing party is in the mines.
1t is barely possible but not likely. that
some Of the remaining entombed miners
will be rescued alive.
The explosion was Of terrific force
and shattered glass windows mile dis
tant.
Immediately after the shock great
numbers of miners who were off duty,
it being Sunday, rushed to the shaft
to find great clouds of smoke and dust
gushing from its mouth. Mothers. chill
dren and other relatives soon We're
weeping and pleading for the rescue of
those dear to them entombed in the
mine.
The officials of the mines, including
General Manager Refs, were soon on the
ground and the work of recruiting min
ers is now being directed by Mr.. Refs
The dead miners thus far recovered
are all Italians and Hungarians, and
have not as yet been identified.
The company usually work in this
shaft about Seventy-fiVe miners, but be-

tributed only to this fact

NEWEST OIL FIELD OLDEST.
PaoIa Had Paying Oil Wells and Re-
finery i'm the SOS.

Psola, Kan. Feb. 27.-Although the
Paola district is the newest oil field in
Kansas, it also claims the distinction
of being the oldest. as the first oil
ever discovered in Kansas was found
in 1851 at the Miami mission east OF
Paola, by man named c. W. Brown.
Several years later. oil was drilled for
and found in paying quantities. Dur
ing the present development which
dates from last March, many wells
drilled at that time have been re-
opened, cleaned out and are now
among the good producers. In the
'70s a small refinery was built and for
several years did paying business,
not only supplying the local demand
but also furnishing oil to the Fort
Scott & Memphis railway, now a part
of the Frisco system. Then. it is said
the Standard Oil company determined
to crush the industry 1t first ordered
the railroad to stop using the Paola
oil under the penalty of Withdrawing

business. With no market for oil, the
