In Past Two Years Builders
Have Struck Their
Gait.
EVEN HEAVY RAINS
DO NOT INTERFERE
Nearly 100000 Cubic Yards of
Earth Have Been Removed
By Americans.

Nearly 6Q,0o0.000 cubic yards of earth
have been taken out of the canal prism
since the Americans began 10 dig the
great waterway.
Official reports up to the close of 1908
show that the exact total of excavation
from the time the Americans took CON

ns,U5sI7a cubic yards. The yearly out
put has been steadily increasing. That

been greatly outdistanced. goes almost
without saying.
OF the enormous yardage excavated,
ali but about 100000 cubic yards has
been removed In the past three years,
and all but 100000 yards in the last
TWO years. It il only from about the
beginning Of 1907 that the canal builders
have really struck their gait. Since
then the dirt has been flying in earnest.

The monthly average ina 1905 was
S,048.724 cubic yards. in 1908 1t was but
1885 cubic yards.
The remarkable degree to which the
work has been perfected is shown ia no
small measure in the fact that the av-
erage monthly output during the entire
the same as the monthly average for
the whole year. This demonstrated that
heavy rains are no longer a serious OBJ
stacle TO the progress OF the work. New
records for rainy season work have
been established in the past year.
Reports on December excavation,
which have Ia sefY come in. show a high
figure OF output was reached The eX-
CavatiOn for the month was 2.Z6l, 6l3
