Panama Canal

Putnams gives an idea of the vast
amount of work and money required
to excavate for the Panama canal.
That the undertaking is an immense
one is most apparent and it can be
seen from the article below why the
project was too stupendous for a
private corporation to carry to COM
pletion:
Every two minutes a ton OF coal
is burned up at Panama, every min
ute twelve car loads of rock and
gravel are torn from the earth, every
hour 1866 pounds of dynamite are
exploded in mountain and jungle,
every minute 1924 is spent for labor.
One hundred and thirty-two loco
motives are shreaking and creaking
in the nine-mile ribbon of the Guile
bra cut-10,000 shirtless men are
sweating and swearing-1250 flat
cars are running and grumbling.
One hundred and sixty miles Of track
split the gorge-a dozen sets Of rails,
in a width of 200 and 300 feet, are
hung in tiers one above the other
Sixty-seven steam shovels are plung-
ing twenty-ton scoops into the earth
two and three times every minute.
Over 1000 900 cubic yards of earth
are being wrested from the rainbow
strata OF soil every thirty days. And
On the two sides Of the inferno squat
the twin peaks OF Gold and Snow
hills like a couple of apples which a
schoolboy has nearly bitten through.
Roughly, a hole measuring 97,-
900 cubic yards must yet be
bored in the Panama clay to make the
canal a reality. When the French
were routed S1,50O,O00 cubic yards
had been excavated. The American
have added $4,000, 900 cubic yards
to this total.
Picture a chasm measuring 125
feet in every direction. in which eoul
be buried twenty-five ordinary three
story houses 40 feet in height, in
width and in length. The equivalent
of such a chasm is bored every day
along the course of the Panama cana
the excavation amounting to nearly
900 900 cubic feet daily.

Idaho Springs Notes.
(From the Siftings. }

Patrons of the Newhouse tunne,
have been somewhat handicapped
this week by the breaking down of
the m0tors, but as the delay is tenn
porary. by the commencement of work
next weck there will be no further
delay. AS accidents go in cycles,
this was to be expected, but it is
fortunate that the accidents were
no worse.
Manager owen is going right
ahead with the Saratoga lateral from
the Newhouse tunnel, the heading
now being approximately 2600 feet
from the tunnel line. A fine body
of splendid mineral has been en-
countered which before long will
be marketed and place the old pro-
ducer again where 1t belongs, second
to none in this section of the state.
Arrangements have all been COM
pleted for the building OF new
railway switch at the mouth of Fall
river and in a short time the opera
same rail facilities enjoyed by those
in the city. To give the mines this
accommodation the Colorado & South
ern will be compelled to construct
bridge across Clear Creek to reach
switch which will meet the re-
quirements of shippers. but the pro-
ducing mines OF Fall river section
will prove most prosperous during
the coming summer. and the part
taken by the railroad is most COM
mendable.
II there is one man in the camp
who is appreciative 1t is George
X. Kimball Of the Ola Town mine.
After years Of personal direction of
the property, during which time he
has employed many men. This week
disclosed an appreciation Of his eff,
forts not only for the company but
of the men employed under him. for
he was presented with a loving cup
which he will ever retain in kindly
remembrance, 1t being the gift of
employees. Coming as 1t did from
hearts filled with gratitude. from
those who appreciated the many kind
nesses shown them by Mr.. kimball
tn, gift will even be more highly
priced. The intrinsic value will not
be considered. but Mr.. Kimball will
ever cherish the gift.

Hawaii, A Land of Peace.

Ten years ago the white residents
In Hawaii considered bolts and bars
and locks on their houses as almost
superfluous. Almost nobody took the
trouble to lock their doors at night,
and burglary was crime almost un-
known in the Territory. This was
true even in Honolulu and main
tains in many country districts even
today. The Hawaiians were never
given to thievery or crimes of vio-
lence, and century ago it used to b
the boast of the kings that woman
or child was safe to sleep by the
roadside in any part of the domain
Civilization, however, has brought
to the Islands the uncivilized traits
Of human character, and now locks
and keys are only less numerous
than in other parts of the world. The
Hawaiian still maintains his princi-
pies of honesty, but with the in
flux of races from all parts OF
the earth it is not strange that the
old time feeling of security in per-
son and property is lessening. Even
today, however, it is doubtful If any
other place of like population can
show as low a record of crime as
does the city of Honolulu, with its
$4,000 inhabitants, of almost every
race and color.

as a bookkeeper, and the groom will

he has been accustomed. A crowd
of pretty young men saw him off at

Boxing Contests.

A goodly number OF sports wended
their way to the New Turner hall
Friday evening to witness the box
ing bouts between local and outside
boxers. The events were very in
teresting regardless OF the fact
that very little science was display
ed.
The first event was four-round go
between Curly Dunn and Jockey Col
bert both of this city. This bout
held the close attention of the spec
tators throughout. 1t was decided
draw by George McFarlane, who Otto
Flottoed the preliminaries. In the
opinion of the ringside attendants
Curly had a shade the better of the
mill.
Jack Driscoll and Harry Hamllik
fought four-round draw. This was
the only event where the least bit
of science was displayed. Both men
showed themselves to be quite clev-
er with the mitts. Their work was
appreciated by the spectators.
For a time it looked as though the
go between Mel Jordan of Central and
Dave Brennan of Black Hawk, would
be called off as the hackers for Bren-
nan said their man would not box
unless a side bet of $4,000 was made.
This had not been secured up to
the time for the bout to take place.
AS the sports were desirous Of seeing
the two mix it for six rounds, col
lection was taken up and purse
OF S25. 90 was raised which was to go
to the winner. Both Jordan and
Brennan went at 1t hammer and
tongs from the very moment time
was called. The event was cross
between a slugging exhibition and
wrestling match. The fighting was
very loose and all kinds of foul blows
were struck. Referee McFarlane. .un-
der the circumstances. thought it best
to declare the bout draw.
The main event between Sox Becker
Of Central, and Kid Riley of Los
Angeles, was short but furious. This
was to have lasted 10 rounds but the
home boy was too much for the Cali
fornia lad and put his antagonist down
for the count in the third round.
Riley didn't seem to have the stay
ing qualities and Becker's wallop was
too much for him. The sports re-
gretted very much that the bout
did not go the limit.
