GATUN LAKE ESTIMATES.
Large Urea an Advantage to Lock
Tgpe of Canal.

Washington, June lin explanation of the re-
pert from Panama of the extensive revision OF the
gnal engineering estimates relative to the Gatun
Dam and Lake. the sufficiency of which the
success of the entire project depends the follow
ing statement Issued from the Office OF the
Isthman Canal Commission:
Detailed surveys which have been completed on
the isthmus show that the area of the great Gatun
Lake will be 225 square miles, double the esti-
mate made in the minority lock canal report
of the board of consulting engineers which is uO
square miles.
In the opinion of those engineers of the COM
mission who have given most study to the Ques-
tion, this large area is great advantage to the
lock type Of canal in both wet and dry seasons 1t
Will make it possible TO lmpound all water. even
in extreme foods like that Of last December, ana
TO handle it with less huctuation in the canal level
The increased lake area will double the amount
of water impoundtng at the beginning of the dry
season.
Statistics show that In extreme dry years the
run-off from the draining into the lake is
about 1900 cubic feet second during the rainy
season, and this will raise the lake the four feet
which it may be lowered during the dry season
in the larger lake, while the amount of evap-
Grafton will be doubled. the total supply impounded
will also be doubled and 1t is estimated that this
will give sufficient water for hfty-six lockages a
DAY, instead Of twenty-six. as heretofore calcu-
lated
