JOY OF THE WILDERNESS
Small Piece Of String Would Have

There are situations worse than Gail
Hamilton's famous Twelve miles from

Telegram item seemed to have found
one of them. A party was encamped
IN the Bear river in eastern Utah,
when a prospector came along n
morning on a mule. He had his jaw
tied up, and at first seemed inclined
to pass on without a word. On Sec
ond thought, however, he halted and

"How fur to Salt Lake,"

and I'm riding 500 miles to get it

We invited him down and n Of
the crowd got a piece of string round
the tooth and jerked it out as slick as
you please. After the overjoyed man
had ceased dancing about I queried:
"Why didn't you try the string be-
fore starting on such a long ride?"
BEST kind of reason, sir. I hadn't

THE FINAL ESTIMATES
Have Been Made on NeceS-
sary Work to Complete
The Panama Canal.
AMOUNT OF EXCAVATION

Colon, March 3.-Final estimates
have been prepared Of the amount Of
work that will have to be done to COM
plete the Canal. These show that
when Americans took possession
there was required for the construc-
ton of the canal as at present plann-
ed. total excavation of 174.666. 595
cubic yards. OF this amount, there
had been excavated at the end Of jan
uary last, 62,751,924 cubic yards. or
little more than one-third, leaving
Ill .904, 671 cubic yards still to be re-
moved. The estimate of total excava-
ton made by the minority members
of the International Board of Consult
ing Engineers. authors of the lock
canal under construction, was 1O3 1885,
900 cubic yards. The increase over
this estimate is due in part to changes
in details of the plan which call for a
larger excavation.
There will also be required under
the present plan. 29,387 900 cubic
yards Of filling for locks and dams.
which is about 100000 cubic yards
less than the amount estimated by
the minority members. There will al
SO be required 5.015. 400 cubic yards Of
concrete, an excess of 1000. 900 cubic
yards over the estimate of the minor
