Practically all the borings which
have been obtained at the Pearl Har-
Dor channel so far in order that an in.
dication of the cost of widening the
channel may be arrived at, have been
favorable. The borings at the shark
pen and at Bishops point were COM
pleted some time ago with very favor
able results. Since then borings have
been made at pile IA, the one which
stands in the open place where the
West Loeb entrance Is, and at pile Is,
which Is makai Of ii, between It and
the Bishop Point. At both these
places soft material was struck. BY
the borings at pile 10, the last pile
mauka, rather hard bottom was found,
the only place so far found where this
was the case. At this place, however,
quite q cutoff will have to he made to
make the channel straight. approach

As the report was made to the
Chamber of Commerce, under whose
direction the work is being done that
/ the sea was exceptionally smooth this
morning, launch was engaged which
will tow the boring outfit out to the
black stake at the channel entrance

there, and at the pile inside of that,
while the good weather lasts.
