NATURE AIDS CANAL BUILDING
GATUN DAM MADE STRONGER
BY SLIDES AND SINKS.
Happenings Anticipated and De.
Standardization Made
Firmer.

For the purpose OF dispelling all doubt
and misapprehension as to the condition
of the foundations Of both the dams and
locks at Gatun. on the route Of the Pana"
ma canal, an official statement on that
subject has been published In the currents
issue of the Canal Record. the official
organ of the commission.
The statement Is the outcome OF the
various publications regarding the stnk@
ing Of a portion Of the rock toe OF the
dam, a slide under the high trestle Of tbs
relocated Panama railroad. and rumors Of
the existence of lake beneath the dam
Regarding the sinking OF a portion Of
the upstream toe at Gatun recently. the
statement says that silt and soft mud
that had collected In the bottom Of the
channel for the past twenty years wad
not removed when construction began.
and when the weight of the rock becams
great enough 1t displaced the soft bottom
and forced it 200 feet north of the toe into
the site of the dam.
That was anticipated and desired. It
is also anticipated that other parts of the
toe may settle in the same way.
The more they settle the firmer will be
the foundation Of the toe. Work on the
dam will not be interrupted in any way.
of the dam at Gatun. These show that
the water is in pockets and is not I'm n
pool or lake. Two test pits were sunk
100 feet below the sea level They merely
confirmed what the borings already had
shown. that the dam is built on firm
foundation of impervious clay.
What Is true of the foundation OF TIE
dam is also true Of the foundation of the
locks. There Is, the statement adds. no
question at all of its satisfactory char
acter.
AS to the slide on the relocated line
Of the railroad at. Gatun, that is similar
to those which have occurred at other
points and is caused by the earth which
has become saturated from the excessive
rains and has been burdened with tho
weight Of the fill sliding on the surface
of the rock which underlies it. This
slide has reached its angle OF repose for
the present
1t is expected that during the next rainy
season, when the fill Is continued to the
ninety-five-foot grade. the slide will begin
again More material will then be dumped
into the depression. and the filling will be-
continued until the material has reached
Its angle of repose, when no further
trouble is anticipated
