WILL FAVOR A LOCK CANAL
PRESIDENT PREPARING A MES
SAGE TO CONGRESS.
In II lie Will Favor the COustruc-
ton of a Lock Canal Across the
PaDa ma

Washington, Jan. 16.-President
Roosevelt is preparing to send to con-
gress a message which will favor a lock
canal. He had conferences with sew
eral members of the senate committee
on interoceanic canals, including Sen
ators Kittredge, Knox, Dryden, Hop
kins and Ankeny.
The committee has in its possession
an advance copy of the report fur
nished by the president, for use in ex-
aiming Chief Engineer Stevens when
he appeared before the committee at
the opening of the investigation made
by the senate. The report contains the
views of the consulting board as ex-
pressed before the foreign members left
this country, together with the amend
ments that have been made since, and
to which Gen. Davis is now getting
their Endorsement.
The message Of the president will fa-
vCr the construction of a lock canal,
Oh the ground that it is in the interest
of the present generation and not for
pCsterity, and that it can be built at
less cost of time and money. 1t is said
that the president incidentally asked
the republican members of the commit
tee to support the nomination of Jo-
seph B. Bishop to be a member of a
canal commission and to use every eff
fort to prevent indiscriminate reduc-
lions OF the salaries of canal officials,
which he fears may be the result of the
investigation.

The present is the copper age in Mex.

second only to the United States in
the production Of copper, and has the
third largest copper mine in the world.

constant discovery and development of
Mexican copper deposits hat that re.
public will, before many years, rank
first in the worlds producers of this
