An Inland Waterway
Boston to the Gulf.

The proposition to establish an in
land waterway between Boston and
the Gulf of Mexico has been agitated
for many years, and has now appar-
entity reached point where tangible
results may be expected in the near
future. A recent issue of the Mem
phis Oommercieal&Appeal contained
the following article on the subject:
Il seems probable that something
tangible Is to be done toward estab-
fishing the long.taaked of inland
waterway from Boston to the Gulf
of Mexico. The full project as out.
lined by the Philadelphia Bulletin ex-
tends from Boston by a canal across
Cape Cod to q connection with Long
Island sound and thence by a series
of artt1acial cuts connecting the naou-
raj channels to Savannah, and event
ually, by a canal across Florida to
the Gulf Of Mexico, thus enabling our
coastwise commerce not only to evade
the enemy that may attack us, but,
what is more to the point in the esti
nation of many. to avoid the stormy
passage Of Cape Hatteras and the dan
gers on the perilous coast of Massa-
chusetts."
The plan for this inland waterway
has been surveyed and found quite
feasible. 1t has met with approval
from government sources from time
to time, but has never been pushed to
anything like active construction.
However, a commission has just been
appointed with authority to get to
work upon an important link on the
great canal. 1t Is no less than open
ing channel between the Chesapeake
and Delaware bays, which will doubt
less promote and expedite commerce
between Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Doubtless when this small link
shall have demonstrated its value,
Congress can be easily and readily
induced to build the other links.
With the completion Of canals across
Cape Cod, across the narrow neck Of
land separating the headwaters Of
Chesapeake bay from Delaware bay
and across the strip from Norfolk to the
narrow body Of water that extends
north from the entrance to Albemarle
Sound, a practicable inland waterway,
nayigable for coastwise vessels would
be available as far south as Whining
ton, although 1t is possible that con-
siderable work would have to be done
Son the Delaware and Raritan canal,
across the State of New Jersey before
II could accommodate vessels OF very
tkreat tonnage.
From Wilmington to Charleston the
route appears more difficult, but south
of Charleston numerous natural
waterways are available, which could
Iprobubly be deepened, when neces-
cary, at comparatively little expense.
A ship canal across the Florida
peninsula would result in an immense
saving in time and expense to vessels
.Oound from Atlantic to gulf ports, and
vice versa, and it is only a question
pf time until such canal is con-
'Utructed.
AS to the advantages Of an inland
waterway between Massachusetts and
the Gulf Of Mexico, they are too obvi-
Gus to necessitate detailed mention.

In the Same Building and Richly
Furnished-Woodwo Of Mahog-
any and Profusion of Lights.
There Is a man in Chicago who with
in short time will have his business.
his home and his club in the same
building, says the Chicago Post. No
running to catch trains for Robert
Edgcomb; no time spent in going to
and from bis work; no walking In the
rain and heat. Those things which are
essential to his life he is concentrating
under one roof, and the result is a
novel way of living.
This home-business-club building is
being erected at Clinton and Washing
ton streets in Chicago. The building is
to be $50 by 113 feet and eight stories
high. Construction work was begun
some time ago. and three stories are
now given over to offices.
On the third floor will be Mr.. Edg-
combs bachelor quarters, and the en-
tire eighth floor will be given over to
the West Side Business Mefs club,
which is being organized now and for
membership in which almost 800 appli-
cations have been made.
II have been convinced for long
time" said Mr.. Edgcomb recently,
''that the business men of the west
side should have some organization
and some meeting place, and I am
only too glad to have such club make
its home in my building.
1.-The front rooms on Washington
street will be the reading and drawing
rooms. and the rest of the floor will be
given over to the dining rooms and
kitchen. One thousand people can be
served at once in these rooms, and ev-
erything will be of the best One Of
the best known restaurateurs Of Chi
cago will have charge of the cafe. We
hope to have the clubrooms ready for
occupation by Dec. 1.

live. / am much interested In the cree
ton Of the building, and when any one
asks me why am to live in it say I
have two reasons-to be ON the spot,
if I may be allowed to use slang, and
to be economical"
The living rooms of Mr.. Edgcomb are
nearing completion, and he hopes to be
In them In few weeks. He describes
them as plain, but comfortable" but
to those adJectives should be added
beautiful" The seven rooms, which
nre exclusive of the servants quar-
tiers, are large and light. All the wood
work is Of mahogany, some of the
mantels and consoles being Of the
white variety.
There will be upholstered window
seats, wide fireplaces and proeusion
of lights shaded by the most artistic
globes, all of which. are being made in
the building under the supervision Of
Mr.. Edgcomb.
The French kitchen will be a marvel
Of convenience, and there are such
closets for linen and china as would
delight the heart of any housewife.
Each Office In the building is to have
shower bath.

of the present deal.

Importance tha recent great COM
binations have eloquently testi-
fed, and that ti.e year 1906 will
not be far behind the record es-
tablished by 1905, If, indeed, not
far in advance Of the previous
year, present developments are
fairly tranpiing upon one an
other to demonstrate. The latest
deal Of magnitude was Whisper
ed about the streets Thursday,
and which was to the effect that
the Guggenheims had secured
al option on q block Of Nevada
Consolidated stock constituting
the control Of that organization.
It caa be stated with so fair a
degree Of certainty as to be quite
accurate that the Guggenheim
people have succeeded in secur-
ing al option en- 81 per cent Of
the stock Of the Nevada Consoli-
dated. Should this be definitely
verified by subsequent events,
and there is no doubt but what
it will be, the Importance Of the
deal cannot be Overestimated.
Should the negotiations be con.
fined to the total amount OF
shares Of the Nevada Consoiida-
ted that are in existence, to the
extent of 100000 shares, 81 per
cent Of this number would be
480, 600 shares that are included
within the scope Of the negotia-
tions.
The basis upon which the deal
has been con8ummated is said to
be 500 per share, which would
mean that for the bare control Of
the Nevada Consolidated the
yendees will have to pay the
neat sum OF $1l, ,792, 900. The
Importance Of the deal can
readily be seen, yet It's real i'm
port is not easily srasped. It
means what might be termed the
beginning of a mining era in
volving as much, Il not more,
than the average prosperous and
uninvestigated life insurance
company.
No more sincere testimony
could be given 10 taa world tend
ing to establish the permanency
and true worth Of the small and
heretofore rather dilaly eonsid-
cred Nevada copper camp than
such a deal for practically half
of one property involving as
many millions as the camp is
months cid. II also shows to
what extent competing COM
panies are wiling TO go for the
purpose of keeping their pres
tige constantly smooth and with
a shining surface.
Recently George Gum, promi-
nent and well known as the Gug-
genheim expert, gave the Neva
da Consolidated properties q
most thorough and exhaustive
examination. This was known
at the time, although what might
be the outcome Of his activity
was a matter Of conjecture, and
It is generally conceded by those
who haze succeeded in keeping
in touch with the situation that
the results Of Mr.. Gunn's exam
inatioil, as we'll as the recent ex-
animation and report made by j..
Parke Channing, general mama
ger of the Tennessee Copper
company, the eminent expert
and, engineer, had much to Go
with the successful termination
