CONCRETE WORK
ON LOCKS BEGUN

PANAMA CANAL
TEMPORARY MIXER is USED AT

Construction
[Rv Assoolated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, Sept 11.-Concrete
work on the Gatun and Pedro Miguel
locks of the Panama canal has been
begun, according to the canal commits
sion. First concrete on the former was
laid August "a 1t is being placed in
the foundation of the center wall which
will divide the two south or upper
locks; on the latter the work was be-
gun in the center guide wall at the
lower or south end September 1.
On the latter work q temporary mixer
is being used, having a capacity of only
12R cubic yards of material an houf,
pending the completion of the station
airy plant, which will have capacity
of 500 cubic yards a working day.
The plant for work at the Gatun lock
site has a maximum capacity OF 192O
cubic yards of concrete in eight hours
It is estimated that 100000 cubic yards
of concrete work will be. laid on this
lock, which includes the locks and ap-
proach walls, and it will take approxi-
mately 2250,000 barrels of cement for
the work At Gatun there will be six
locks in three pairs, which will make a
raise from sea level to eighty-flve feet
above sea level. Each lock will be ITO
feet wide, have usual length of 1000
third feet of water over the sills when
the surface of Gatun lake is at the
normal height of thirty-fve feet above
mean sea level.
Good Progress Reported
Good progress, it is reported, is being
made on the Miradores locks of the Pan
anna canal Exceedingly dry weather
which prevailed in the territory of the
Pacific division about September 1
greatly accelerated the canal work.
The small slide which developed in the
lock has been checked and the west toe
of the dam has been brought almost
to the 60-foot level.
The concrete work on the cement shed
is entirely finished and 10000 bags of
cement are at present stored in it. The
building has a capacity of 280,000 bags.
Cement testing machines and other ma
chinery used in work have been placed
in the storehouse office The work on
the Miraflores power house is progress
ing rapidly and it is nearly ready
for use.
The discovery of coal and petroleum
deposits, estimated to be worth in ex-
cess of 100000 in Panama, has been re-
ported by Vice Consul General Guyant.
He declares that Adolpho Aleman, a
citizen of the Republic of Panama, has
closed a contract with the government
for the exploitation of these deposits,
which he claims he first discovered. He
has been given until January 1, 1910, to
have his claims properly surveyed and
recorded The deposits are said to
cover a considerable area, but expert
ments as to their exact value have not
2roceeded beyond the taking of surface
samples.

Especial to the Bonanza.)

GOLDFIELD, June z. ~ Homer
Wilson of the big Keane Wonder
property, arrived here yesterday,
having been called to this city for
the purpose of arranging certain le-
gal matters connected with the mine,
as well as to settle certain personal
court affairs. He states that it is his
belief that the tangled affairs of the
Keane Wonder, in which Honest
Tom Hickey has played SO great a
part, will be Strengthened out within
the next week or ten days, and that
the mine will then assume the
worthy position from which it has
been held for all these many months.
He states that the property is right
fully equal to the best in Nevada,
but that it has been retarded by le-
gal tangles that have involved it
from time to time, and which the
management has been powerless to
ESevent, but that now everything is
Tearing UP and the property will
soon be out in the limelight, free
from every kind of obligation, with
the bullion coming steadily from its
mill. Mr.. Wilson says that the big
fight would be between the receiver
and Hickey, who will contest the final
disposition of the stock held by
Hickey, and which the receiver
claims.
The position assumed by the com.
pany is that having paid Hickey al
they owed him he no longer has q
right to the stock held as collateral

keane Wonder to Pay Off
Indebtedness to the Bank

Indebtedness to the old State Bank
and Trust company. it is the belief of
the company that Hickey must sur
render the stock held as security by
him. In this connection the com
pany believes that it is absolutely
right and will be upheld by the
courts.
"Of course" said Mr.. Wilson,
this is matter which the receiver
must fight out. But, SO far as the
company is concerned, we are ready
with our money to pay anything and
everything, and at this time an ami
cable adjustment of all difficulties is
being arranged, so that within the
next few days the Keane Wonder
should be free and without blemish
My trip to the city at this time is for
the purpose of finally adjusting the
personal suit in which / am asked to
divide my mining interests, both in
the Keane Wonder properties and
others, with man by the name of
Vendig, who sets up the old claim of
partnership, and which l believe to
be on the verge of satisfactory settle
ment. There is really no basis for
his claims, since he is not now, and
never has been my partner. The
truth is that about all the claim he
holds on me is the fact that he intro
duced me to the parties from whom
we secured the Keane Wonder prop
erty. l advanced him money from
time to time, the aggregate being
somewhere in the vicinity of $3.50,
which he has introduced as part of
the evidence of partnership. How

AVIATORS WILL ATTEMPT TO MAKE
FORTY MILES AN HOUR FOR
$25,o0O PRIZE.
PREFER A WOODED COUNTRY.
Trees, with Intermittent Open Fields,
Where Landing Could Be Made,
Most Desired.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 90
Despite the marvellous records that have
been established by the Wright brothers
in this country and abroad, to comply
with the government specifications, Or
vile Wright, ID his trial flights at Fort
Myer, soon to begin, will be compelled
to meet certain conditions that are
wholly new and untried.
The endurance trial, in which the avi-
ator, accompanied by a passenger, will
be required to remain in continuous flight
without landing for one hour, carrying
sufficient fuel for a flight Of 125 miles,
has already been accomplished by Will
bur Wright. 1t is the speed trial, how
ever. which imposes conditions that have
never before presented themselves.
Must Fly Ten Miles.
Orville Wright, who has been elected
to complete the tests he began last fall,
must fly over measured course OF hve
miles from Fort Myer and return,
total distance of ten miles. In order
to receive the contract prize of 500
600, a speed of forty miles an hour with
and against the wind must be main
tanned.
The rough, billy country surrounding
Fort Myer, over which the speed trial
must be made, is what is causing Or
vile Wright some uneasiness. No
cross country flight over an uneven
country has ever been made by heav-
ier-than-air flying machine.
Prefers Wooded Country.
Capt Thomas S. Baldwin told me
that the country to the west of Fort
Meyer is the least uneven said Orville
Wright, "and [ am going to examine it
carefully to determine it's advantage over
the country lying to the south towards
Alexandria, Va. AS we must fly over
trees, l would prefer a country which
is heavily wooded, with intermittent
open fields, rather than one where the
trees are sparse and scattered, where a
landing would be difficult. There is no
need of taking unnecessary risks"

PLAGUE ON A DECLINE.
cessfully Fighting tuberculosis
Among Cattle.

MADISON, Wis, June 21.-[Special.]
After three-year campaign in the
state against bovine tuberculosis, the
disease is on the decline. This is a
statement from a bulletin of the uni
versity which has just been issued by
Dean H. L. Russell and Conrad Hof-
mann. According to the statistics, there
has been a decline in the percentage of
animals reacting from III per cent. in
1906 to SO per cent. in 1908. The
serious phase of the situation as viewed
by Dean Russell is the comparatively
large number of herds infected. In
1906 about 4S per cent, or almost half
of the herds, were infected, while in
1908 about "a per cent, or less than
one-fourth, contained the disease. In
1906 about II per cent of the animals
were infected and in 1908 less than 4
per cent. The evidence collected shows
that the most common mode of herd in
lection is through the purchase of in
fected animals. OF 1868 herds found dis
eased in 1908, 263, or over 72 per cent,
were infected through purchase. The
distribution of the disease in the state
is indicated to some degree by the tests
which have been made. These show
that DR.. Russell finds the disease much
more prevalent in the southern part of
the state,
