GREAT CULEBRA CUT

But when IL Is remembered that

feet TO the top Of Gold Hill, west OF
Culebra, is composed OF rock, slime

The investigator at Culebra. as on

that the railroad is the key to the
situation both from an engineering
and a sanitary standpoint. This canal
cannot be constructed upon trunk

friends who seem to think that II is

proposed width from time to time as
one landslide followed another; and
while that increases the total amount
of the excavation II renders possible
the placing of tracks one above an
other TO accommodate the dirt trains.
During the mouth of July. 1904.
81 900 cubic yards Of dirt were exca-
waited at Culebra cut; one year later
the monthly excavation was upward
of $4,000 cubic yards, and during the
month of July. 1906, $4,000 cubic
yards we're removed from the nine
mile strips.
II is worthy of notice that on March
IA, 1907, the daily excavation was
greater than the amount shoveled out
during the first month OF July cited.
The present monthly excavation
varies between six and eight hundred
thousand cubic yards, and with the
passing of the rainy season 100000
cubic yards a month will. be the as

But back OF this record of monthly
excavation and as a preliminary con-

story of the conquest of the Isthmian
jungle. The canal cut proper has been
constant source OF trouble to the
