PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION
REPORTS RAPID PROGRESS

struction work, in any given district, ir-
respective of its character. would be
placed under one head, the necessary
authority having been received from
the Secretary of War for the transfer
of duties as between departments, re-
quired by executive order Of Jan. 6,
1908. The reorganization was desira-
BILE because the work of the divisions
of building construction and munich
pal engineering had reached a stage
where the continuance Of separate diyi-
sions for handling the work was un-
warranted. and was facilitated by the
consent and approval of the chief sani-
tary officer 20 have the sanitary en-
gineering work hitherto performed by
his department done by the canal con-
struction forces in accordance with
plans and on data prescribed and fur
nished by the department of santa
ton.
"A further advantage sought by the
reorganization was the establishment
of more uniform wage scale, and to
secure it the organization was put on
an impersonal basis by fixing the posi-
tions needed to properly execute the
work and the salary that each position
should carry. To the positions thus
found necessary the available person
mel was fitted so far as possible.
ITO accomplish the objects sought,
the zone was divided into three parts,
each of which is to constitute a divis-
ion under the department of construc-
tion and engineering, the division en-
gineers reporting direct to the chief
engineer. The first is to include all
territory north of Tabernilla, to be
designated the Atlantic division: the
second is to extend from Tabernilla to
Pedro Miguel, to be named the central
division. and the third, extending from
Pedro Miguel to deep water in the Pa
cific, will constitute the Pacific divis-
ion. AS the reorganization is not COM
plete at this time, its details must
be left for the next annual report"
The report shows great progress in
excavation and construction on the
canal itself and advances in the provis-
ions for sanitation and protection OF
the towns in the canal zone School
buildings were erected at ten places IN
the zone The general health condi-
tions have been greatly improved, the
death rate being less than half that of
the previous year.

To Begin Work

Development work on the Shaw Bouckaert.Dubreuil copper claims, located across the bay from Seward, will begin in a few days. George Bouckaert arrived from Seattle on the Santa Clara, and Dubreuil is expected to arrive on the Pennsylvania. Shaw will be here about the middle of July.
 Bouckaert says he had numerous in- quiries for copper properties while he was in Seattle, and has several parties on the string for a proposition to bond the claims in which he is interested. It is the policy of the owners, how ever, to do some development work in order to obtain an intelligent opinion as to the probable value of the proper ty. The claims were staked last fall too late to do any other than super ficial work, but the surface showing is considered extremely favorable for a big copper deposit.
